The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-08-01
A Modern G.. Washington.

1t is Very rare to find newspaper re-
porter, who will claim for himself strict
adherence to veracity on all occasions, but
a BAzoo man heard a fellow pencil-pusher
make this modest claim for himself last
evening, and relate To a small but admir-
ing assemslage how in his youth he
had learned to abhor lie, and
how he had once laid himself open
TO a brief engagement with the old man
out in the wood shed, by admitting that he
had driven nail in newly painted fence,
i'm which the governor took considerable
pride. The old-time Ratchet story was
also worked in and the pathetic part of how
the ::paternal sire declined to interview
his offspring with the boot-jack, when he
discovered that an inherent loye of truth
vegetated in him, brought tears to the eyes
of the listeners, although one unfeeling
cuss was heard to remark that he would
not believe REPORTER on oath.

"COB" VS.. BROGAN.
A Narrative From Southern Kan
sas With no Sad Ending.

Parsons, Kansas, is a lively town, with
many lively boys and girls.
Usage Mission is near by-fifteen mile,
away. In sparselv settled prairie coun
try That distance i considered near by
Tie place has merry crowd oi lads and
lassies.
Cob" Lamb, Of Parson is the son o.
an editor, and fell desperately in love with
young lady at the Mission, whose name
is we'll known 10 the writer, but fearing Il
embarrass the lady in question, her name
shall To- Nancy Jones. Miss Jones has q
suiror al the Mission in the person of Mr.
James Brcgan, the trusted, faithful and
attentive agent Of the railroad company
He has charge OF the compary's business
receiving and discharging freight, selling
tickets and attending Io the telegraph line
Miss Jones, il is rumored, bestowed her
sweetest smiles OH Mr. Brogan, and mat
tiers moved along very swimmingly in the
way Of modern courtship.
In the meantime Cob" visited
the Mission soliciting subscriptions for .
paper published + {. al Parsons. In the
course OF his meanderiDgs, he met Miss
Jones Cob endeavored TO make a
mash and thought he accomplished the
tact. He stepped high-he walked in tall
clover as he went 10 the depot. Al the
depot he met Brogan, and some exuiting
words from '-Cob's" lips Tell upon the ears
Of Broga1. Hot words passed between
them, and but for the timely arrival OF a
train there would have been one Cob" that
would have been broken too short for
kindling fires.
l.,. 10. Ia he ID
had with Brogan, went back To Parsons
otter than a cook stove al 1880 a. Ii. in
july. He told his father of the trouble,
and at once Mr.. Lamb, Sr., said:
Well fix the audacious youth; we'll
have Brogan discharged, and then, my
son, Miss Jones will not have him 10 love
so near by"
Suiting the words OF the aged man who
was stung 10 the quick by the niisnity
which had been heaped upon Cob" plead
with the railroad officials 10 dismiss their
employe, Brogan.
The case was investigated, it is supposed.
Brogan kept his place: that 10 sufficient
cause was found 10 displace him.
This displeased the Lambs, and the pa
per which they publish was brought into
use TO villify and malign the road officials
in order to re-estabIish "Cob" in the al
fections of Miss Jones, and see, also if
this great lever - would not leave Bro
gan without an abiding place.
Thus the matter stands. Cob" and
High Daddy Lamb are kicking, while Bro
gan ,umbles freight around as usual. and
listens To- the uninlelligible click OF the
telegraph instrument, and puts i'll his leis
IRE hours Sunday evening doing able
bodied counting.
And the end mas vet 10 come.

Of the Track.

A slight accident occurred in the h 4 T.
wards at the Fifth street crossing about
80 O'Clock last evening, which somewhat
DELAYED the work Of handling trains, and
laid out north bound stock train abou,
an hour and half, but fortunately result
ed in no injury to any of the switch men
and but little damage.
4 freight train which had inst arrived
from the north, and in the center Of which
was a ponderous wrecking car, was being
switched, when bent rail was encountered!
almost in the center of the Fifth street
crossing. The first half Of the string OF
cars passed over the defective rail in safety,
but the unwieldy wrecking car climbed the
track, carrying the car next 10 il along,
tearing up the earth and track at lively
rate for a few seconds. The other
cars behind the wrecking car
came together with crash, and although
it looked as though they were trying TO
climb one another, they stuck TO the track.
The track was cleared after IN hours
vigorous Work, and everything was soon
moving smoothly again.
The derailed wrecking and freight cars
we're considerably damaged.

CONTEMPT of Uourt,

The famous and witty John Baldwin,
for indulging in contemptuous language
in an Allegany County Justices Court,
was sentenced to Imprisonment in the
Angelica Jail for twenty days. BY his
own assurance and daring, however, he
managed to escape. After the Justice
had pronounced this sentence upon Bald
win he proceeded to draw the mittimus
which empowered the constable to take
the disrespectful lawyer into custody.
The Justice, who was an Indifferent and
slow penman, was long time in pre-
pairing the somewhat technical docu-
ment Baldwin, who watched the pro-
ceedings with the deepest interest, wait
ed until the magistrate was about to sign
the warrant, when he suddenly seized a
large ink-stand full of ink and poured
its contents over the fearful paper, de-
stroying in an instant the hard work of
an hour. This done, he mounted his
horse and escaped into Steuben County
beyond the reach of another mittimus.
In the early days of Buffalo leading
lawyer was arguing a cause in the Court
of Common Pleas where one of the side
judges presided-the first Judge not be-
ing on the bench. TO show his superb
GRITTY, the Judge often put irritating ques-
tons to the counsel. To help the matter
along, the two other side judges on the
bench annoyed the lawyer in similar
manner.
AT last he could endure this no long,
er, and pausing in the midst of his argu-
ment, he said eff your Honors will
excuse me | would like to say that this
court reminds me of a Virginia rag-bag
team''-
'Well, sir, what kind of a team doyou
call thatp" asked the Judge.
ut is team, your Honor, composed
OF two mules and jackdss. g
For this the lawyer was fined S15 and
two days imprisonment. = Rochester
