Death Of DR.. Mavfleld.

Oh. w. A. Mayfeld died at the house Of
his niece, at Windsor, at twenty-five min.
utes after IL o'clock this morning. He
passed away IS if in deep sleep, without
. struggle. The body was brought up on
the delayed K. & T. train, which arrived
here at 12:45 to-day. The funeral was had
from the depot, Mrs. May6eld rightly con-
Guiding that that course would be more
fitting than to carry the body up and down
the long and steep fight of stairs which
lead to the doctors late residence. .
Thus passes away a man, who, but q few
years ago, stood in the front rank rs a phy-
stefan and citizen. Strange as are The pranks
which death plays, those which fortune
plays are stranger.
Dr. May6eld was p native of May6eld,
Christian county, Kentucky, where he
commenced the practice of medicine He
came to Sedalia about 1865 since which
time he has resided in Sedalia, practicipp
his profession. His first wife died some
years ago.
The doctor was a christian in the true
sense OF the word, and if any one reaps the
reward OF being faithful to the command
ments of his Redeemer, the departed
will be one of those who shall see the face
of his Savior.

4 Good Appointment to an Inn
portant Office, and One Which
VIII Satisfy the People
Generally.

Capt S. w. Ritchey having been com.
PEELED on account of the state of his health
to resign his Office. John w. Conner, the
late Efficient deputy, has been appointed
recorder of deeds for Pettis county, in his
stead. Capt. Ritchey resigned on Monday,
recommending Mr.. Conner as his success
sor. The new recorders commission ar
rived by yesterday evenings mail. Within
few minutes afterwards Mr.. Conner filed
his bond in the sum of FIVE thousand dol
lars and was sworn in before the county
court.
John w. Conner is known i'm a greater
or less degree to every man in this county
He has ever been an Obliging and thor
Oughly competent official, and the citizens
OF the county generally will rejoice at his
appointment. Especially is the appoint
ment a source of qualification to Mr.. Con-
ner's friends, when it is remembered that
OF those who were SO greedy for the Office,
and who were circulating petitions for the
appointment, he was not one.
Governor Crittenden respected the wishes
OF Capt. Ritchey in this matter, and while
the wouid-be recorders were hustling
around with their petitions, Mr.. Conners
commission was lying quietly in the mail
sack, and hurrying towards this city. No
better appointment could have been made,
and the BAzoo heartily congratulates the
new recorder on hiselevation.

81 WANT JUSTICE. /"
An Abused Wife Seeks JUS
tice Weber and Asks
for Protection.
Crazed by Drink, q Husband Bru-
tally Assaults His Wife and
Threatens Her Life.

Charles Summers is about as we'll known
as any man in Sedalia. If nothing else
has given him notOriety, the fact that he
had one OF his arms blown off while firing
a cannon i'm honor of a visit from the man
whom the CD. of st. Louis, calls the
meanest cuss on Gods footstOol, would be
sufficient to establish his name and fame.
But this is not his only claim He is we'll
known as hard drinker, and a worthless
creature generally. of late he has been
most shamefully treating his wife and even
threatening her life.
For living, Summers does nothing, his
wife and little cripple boy attending to
that small family matter. The boy picks
rags and sells them, and on yesterday his
father met him, SO says Mrs. Summers, and
took his scant earnings from him, which
were quickly gulped down the threat of
pater familias i'm the form of very mean
and fighting whisky. Going home drunk,
the old chap began row with his wife,
striking and kicking her several times.
At last in self defense she picked up a
stick and cracked the old fellow across his
shins, which sort of put quietus on his
bellicose nature. But he brooded over
this indignity % and injury % and his
feelings partOok of the nature of deep re-
venge. "Pll sell the wagon" he said, "and
buy me pistol, and will illyou," mean
ing his wife.
This threat thoroughly frightened the
woman, and this morning she sought
Squire Weber to invoke the protection
of the great state of Missouri from her
drunken husband.
Her story. as told to the justice, was one
of long continued insults and cruel treat
ment from the man she wed eighteen years
ago, and who is the father of her five chill
dren. ~ go out and wash every day for a
living" she said, "and now / want Justice"
The protecting @gis of the law was
promised her, and she went away to begin |
her days struggle for bread. Squire |
Weber is investigating the matter.

Bound Over.

The confidence men arrested on Monday
night, an account of whose operations the
BAzoO has already given, were arraigned
before Squire Weber yesterday afternoon,
George F. Longan appearing for the de-
tense. As no case could be made against
Dunn, ne was discharged.
The charge made against James Riley
was fully sustained by the testimony of
four witnesses, who swore very decidedly
as to the tricks Riley attempted to play
upon them, but in which he failed, they
being ION to his racket" Attorney Lonpan
made an ingenious and ingenious plea for
his client, but it availed nothing. Prose
cutting Attorney Heard attempted no
thunder, but simply submitted the case on
the testimony, and Squire Weber bound
Riley over in the sum of $500, TO the next
term of the criminal court.
