RICH, RARE AND RACY.
Servant Girl Sues for Slander.-Miss
Susan Wheatly Brings Suit for
$10,OG9 Against VIM.
keuDer.

MISS susan W neatly Iof sometime
past, has beeen chambermaid and
dining room girl at John McKinley's
restaurant in this city. She is a
pleasant looking girl, about Is years
old and possesses some attractions
and is accomplished in her line.
VIM. Kemper is one of the leading
butchers of Central Missouri and has
a shop on the west side of the square.
He has been in Mexico for a good
many years. He has made a good
deal of money beipga square deal
ing man and allowing no man to sell
better or cheaper melt than he does.
A few weeks sinceis'Bill,' as he is
universally known, fent to Kansas
City to buy some fat cattle. While
he was gone his wife, who is as nice
a little lady as ever cut a beef steak,
overheard a conversation n even
ing between "Pete," the man Bill
had left in his place, and a young wo-
man. Mrs. Kemper thinks this
young woman was Susan Wheatly.
She and her friends say it was some
other lady. During this conversation
Mrs. Kemper heard the woman make
statements that implicated her hus-
band, "Bill." When the latter got
home he was informed of the dark
spots on the moon and, of course,
there was a little family trouble for a
few moments, until Bill convinced
his wife that the whole thing was a
lie. Bill then went down to McKin-
ley's restaurant to see Miss Susan
Wheatly, as she was the girl that made
the rank statements. Now Macfar-
lane & Trimble bring suit against
Chip for $4,000 on account of
what he said when he made this visit
to McKinley's. They allege that
on that day, August 10th, Bill, among
ether statements, questioned said Su-
san Wheatley's virtue, or words to
that effect, for which they ask for
said plaintiff $40, 900 and costs. The
suit was brought the 18th day of
September, 1882. Susan Wheatly
and friends claim that there is a mis-
take and that the woman who had the
conversation with "Pete" was some
one else, and that she is prepared to
prove her good character beyond a
doubt. "Bill" don't say much but
intimates that when the cas- is called
he will be there with his proof. S1O,-
600 is no trifling sum-. A young Ia
dy's virtue is no trifiing matter to i'm
peach. The matter will be settled in
the courts satisfactorily to all, we
trust.
The third annual session of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance will be held

a good work on the transportation
question, and should be encouraged
by the cooperation of all Missouri

Alliance will be organized on that day.
