"SS" johnson.

The Salt Lake Evening Chronicle
thus alludes to "SS" johnson, pros
pector widely known in these parts
S. S. johnson, formerly business
manager of the Evening Mail IN this
city, and one of the jollicst, biggest
hearted old fellows that ever came
west from Pennsylvania, has turned
up in the Smoky country, Idaho.
Judge Toohy was wont to say of John
son 1883" the boys used to call him, be-
cause of the resemblance his initials
bore to those figures when he signed
his nancy that he wrote with IA pick
handle dipped ina pail of -assafUtida,
and blotted his writing dry with a horse
blanket. However that may be, Mr..
johnson was known in Salt Lake only
to be universally liked, and his friends
in this city will be pleased to hear of
his success as a miner in the northern
country. "SS" johnson, the happiest
old bachelor of all the Smokes, is the
lucky owner Of two very fine prospects,
the Adelaide and Delta, both good,
strong veins, we'll defined and bidding
fair to develop into good paying
prospects.
Mr.. Johnson is now regularly at
work on the TIMES, but will return to
his prospects in the spring.

SLEEK SNEAKS.
How They Downed" q Gentle
man for His Pocketbook
and OvercOat.

Yesterdays BAzoo made mention tina.
Mr.. Samuel Ligo, of Mercer county, Pa,
had lost an overcoat the night before, from
the depot waiting room, at the hands OF a
sneak thief. He had been visiting his son,
a young man in the employ Of Harvey
Seibert, and was ON his way home when
the theft occurred. He laid the coat down
i'm the seat, and then took stroll about
the platform, and on returning to
the waiting room found his garment gone.
happy i'm the thought that he had in his
pocket ticket for Youngstown, Ohio,
for which he had paid $23.S5, and
there was no danger of it being stolen.
When the train from Kansas City AZ
rived, at ii p. IN, there we're q number of
people standing around the platform, one
Of whom was Mr.. Lipo. He WIS pushed
hither and thither BY the crowd, and, no
doubt, thought Sedalia was lively young
city, but the idea of thieves never entered
his head.
After considerable delay the gentleman
from Pennsylvania reached one of the
coaches and lost 10 time in entering, tor he
was anxious to begin his long journey.
Once seated. he thought he would remove
his ticket from his pocketbcok and place
it in his vest pocket, So rs to have il ready
when the conductor called on him.
With this object in view he went down
in his trousers, when the second surprise Of
the night forced itself upon
him, for the book was gone
and of course the ticket with it. This set.
tied it so far as going on that train was
He was without a dollar, SO
left the coach and went to the Pacific hotel
and stopped over night, and BAzoO re-
porter met him there yesterday forenoon.
Even the second misfortune did not seem
to annov the gentleman, for he remarked
that he had learned lesson, and il would
be cold day in August if be permitted
himself to be touched again.
In the forenoon he telegraphed home
for money, and received it during he day,
after which he again purchased ticket
for Youngstown, Ohio, and las; night he
took bis departure Tor his eastern home.
That the crookedness was accomplished
BY local talent, there seems TO be scarcely
a doubt, but Notwithstanding this fact,
there were no arrests. At The lime of the
robbery there were 20 less than three po-
licemen standing about the platform, which
goes to show that the shelves were not very
much afraid of being "nipped."

DIED AMONG STRANGERS
The Removal of an Ovarian Tu-
NOR Results in the Death
Of Mrs. Slack.

Some four weeks ago there came In Soda
liza, from Prairie City, Indian Territory, a
married woman named Florence O. Slack.
whose husband is an humble farmer
Mrs. Slack had long suffered with All Ova-
rian tumor, and her life was surely vast
ing away, consequently she came tn Sedalis
for the purpose of seeing If the tumor could
not be removed. She placed her
self under the care of Dr. w. z. King,
who instantly recognized the danger at
tendant upon an operation. He told his
patient that in case the tumor was removed
the chances were twenty To one sgaiLst re-
cQvery, but even II it was not removed,
her sojourb on earth must necessarily I've
brief.
Notwithstanding this, Mrs. Slack de-
termined 10 have the operation performed
and for some days past the doctor has
been preparing his patient for the terrible
ordeal. As she was almost Gu
tirely without funds, he took
her to his residence, i'm order tina, he
might better look after her wants, and
Tuesday afternoon was the day set Tor the
operation. At that time DIR. King. with
nine other physicians of Sedalia, entered
upon the task, which was successfully ac-
cOmpllshed, hut the poor woman never re-
covered from the shock incident to the
operation, and at ii o'clock Tuesday night
death came 10 her relief.
The deceased was thirty seven years OF
age, and in addition 10 her husband,
leaves two sons in the Indian Terri
tory. Even when she babe them
farewell, prior to coming to Sedslia, she
realized that it was for the last time, for
she had fully made up her mind never to
return home until the operation had been
performed, and she feared she would not b.
able to stand it.
Some days ago Doctor King wrote to her
husband, Spprising him OF the true si,ua-
ton, and the reply received convinced the
doctor that Mr.. Slack was satisfied he had
gszed upon bis wife for the last time.
The deceased was a member of the Cath
Ollie church, and Rev. Father Murphy Of
iciated at the funeral services, which &C.
Cured al o'clock yesterday afternoon.

SEDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO. TUESDAY, APRIL a. 1883.

OF her taking the drug was after had re-
turned from East Sedalia, and was tslkine
in Stacks drug store. My hired man came
in and said my wife was dying. did not
believe il. at once left nv bundles and
ran home. She was then in what thought
a dying condition, but she knew me. She
spoke and tried To tell me something, but
could not. do not think she took the
drug with suicidal intent. She has heen in
the habit OF taking morphine and lsuda-
mum, and j have token it away from her.
Our financial condition had worried her
greatly, as she took it to heart. The only
trouble We ever had was when scolded
her about talking OF taking her life did
il to rouse her depressed spirits. We had
lived together for twelve years and never
had cause for quarreling. do not know
where she got the morphine she swallowed.
She must have had il con-
cealed. think she took more than she
intended. She has said several times that
she wished she was in another world. On
one occasion. when she took laudanum,
she slept from a. NJ. one day until in the
afternoon of the next day. ] feel positive
she did not intend to take her life to-day
Drs. Small and Scott then gave their tes-
timony, showing the condition OF the pa
tient when they called at the house, and
there being no further evidence the jury
brought in q verdict Of death from NOR
phine, taken with tine intention of mint
ing suicide.
During the afternoon there were rumOrs
on the street that Gearheart han beaten his
wife, but no such testimony was introduced
at the inquest. There can be no doubt,
however, but what their domestic lie was
unpleasant, ant this was the immediate
cause of the woman taking her lite.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gearheart were married in
Pennsylvania some twelve years ago They
came here last fall from BoOnville, and
first opened out a laundry in East Sedalia.
From there they removed TO Third street,
and thence to the house where the suic de
occurred. The deceased was q woman
thirty-seven wears of age, and bore the re-
spect and esteem of all who knew her.
At late hour last night the funeral ar
had not been completed.

NOT GUILTY.
Such Was the Verdict in the
Case Against John Brock
schmidt at Clinton.

John Brockscmidt returned from Clinton,
Henry county, yesterday afternoon, and il
is safe to say he was the haPpiest lad in
the city.
1t will be remembered that he vas ar
rested, couple of years ago, in company
with two crooks, named Burns and Cody,
charged with committing no less than
four burglaries in Henry county The
three were placed in Jail, but Brock
schmidt succeeded in giving bond and has
since been At liberty.
At the last term of the, Henry circuit court
all three were arraigned and Burns and
Cody were convicted as charged, and
sentenced 70 two years imprisonment
in the penitentiary. The jury
failed to agree as TO the guilt or innocence
of Brockschmidt, which necessitated new
trial.
Court convened at Clinton on Monday
but Brockschmidts case wss not reached
until Wednesday morning. He was de-
tended by Capt L. l.. Bridges, of this city,
and Judge r. c. McBeth, OF Clinton. Con-
siderable evidence was introduced by the
prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Allen, and the
defense was not lacking in this respect.
The testimony wss all in At noon, and
by agreement the care went to the jury
without argument. They remained out
only about thirty minutes, when they
brought in 8 verdict OF no. guilty, which
result was pretty generally hailed with
delight.
There were still two other cases against
the defendant. but the prosecuting attorney
felt satisfied he could not bring about .
conviction, hence did the only thing posi-
bic under the circumstances entered q
nolle pros.
Young Brockchmidt is to be congrstu-
lated on the result, and it Is to Be hoped
that hereafter be will give men like Cody
and Burns q wide berth. Had it not been
for his a.sociating with them he would
never have been suspected Of the crime,
and his kind father and loving neither
wsuld have been saved many days and
nights of terrible suspense.

INDICATED.

The BAzOo has heretofore had occasion
to refer to the unwarranied attack made by
Col John F. Williams, the state insurance
commissioner, upon the Southwestern
Mutual Benefit association. That this as
isociation is entirely different, in The objects
it seeks to attain, and in its method of do
ing business from regular life insurance
companies none will deny, who..have taken
any pains whatever to investigate the mat
ter. The Southwestern Mutual Benefit As
ISOLATION is duly incorporated under the
laws of the state, and It's certificate of in
corporation is sufficient to entitle il to
recognition and confidence as an organiza-
ton of this kind. 1t is not life insurance
association, and hence is not under Col
Williams jurisdiction.
In another place will be found the opin-
ion of Judge Shirk, who has carefully in
vestigated the articles of association OF the
concern, together with the certificate Of
benefits, issued by it to its men,
bers. and expresses II as his opinion
that the association is legally
incorporated and has due authority TO
issue certificates of benefits.
Judge Shirk's opinion will command
universal confidence and respect. and it is
to be hoped that the baseless charges made
by Colonel Williams against this truly
meritorious association will be considered
as the utterances of q man who is not alto
gether posted on what he is talking about.

RENTED the Imprisonment.

Mr.. b g. Boone returned last night
frow Jefferson City, where he went to lay
before the governor the case of Eli Daw-
son, who, few days since, plead guilty 70
murder in the fourth degree on an indict.
ment for murder in the killing of Ezell, at
Windsor, in November, 1881. Mr.. Boone
informs rs that his excellency exercised
his clemency to the extent of renting the
imprisonment. The punishment now con.
sists of the fine of 500 and the costs of the
suit, which amounts, all told, to $52l 20.

A NARROW ESCAPE
MisFrom q Violent Death, was That
!. Sustained by Little Edna
Tyson.

About one o'clock yesterday afternoon
little Edna Tyson. aged eight years, daugh-
ter Of Widow Tyson and niece of Captain
r. NJ. Fraker, met with an accident, which
came near resulting in ner death. She was
enjoying the pleasures of horseba X ride,
and was riding along IN front of the old
convent on North Main street, when the
xirth of the saddle gave way, and the little
rider fell behind the horses heels Her
foot being securely fastened in the stirrup,
she WAS dragged the distance of about one
block. After her foot was released from the
stirrup, the little girl Was picked up in
IN unconscious condition, and conveyed to
BY. Water was poured on the lace of the
little sufferer, and other efforts made 10
resuscitate her, while Q messenger was dis
patched for medical aid. DR.. Boyer soon
arrived and made careful examination of
the little one, and as it was at first feared
that her back had been broken, the doctors
announcement that no bones had been
fractured or dislocated, was an intense re-
lief to all present. The eide, back and
face of the unfortunate girl we're badly
bruised and the flesh in spots was perfectly
black After she had somewhat recOv-
cred from her great shock, she was
removed TO Capt Fraker's residence, where
she is now resting easily. The accident
attracted large concourse of people and
the excitement for awhile was intense.
The escape from death, or at least perma-
nent injury, was indeed a narrow one, and
the relatives of the little girl have great
cause to congratulate themselves that
her injuries we're so comparatively slight.

DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
Death of Conductor Charles e
Nance at Six O'Clock
Yesterday.

Conductor Charles E. Nance, of the X
Il L., who was caught between an engine
and a box car at Lewis Station, on Thurs
Gay morning last, died OF his injuries at
his home in this city, at FIVE minutes to q
o'clock yesterday forenoon, after having
suffered the most intense agony.
Mr.. Nance was born in McDOpough
county, ILL.,, in 1857, hence was twenty. SIX
years of age at the time of his death. He
came to Sedalia between four and five years
ago, and did his first railroading on the X.
& T., going to work as brakeman for his
brother, Conductor b. F. Nance, who was
then running freight train.
He remained in the capacity of brake
man until something like eighteen months
ago, when he was placed in charge of q
freight train, and he has held the position
continuously since.
Seven months ago last Sunday he was
married in this city to Miss Nellie Roth
rock, and only a short time ago they be-
gan housekeeping on Usage street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, where
they had as cosy little home as young
married people are generally accorded.
When Mr.. Nance was first brought home,
after his injury, il was thought he was not
hurt, but after q couple of
days had elapsed the physicians shook
their heads anu the almost distracted wife
feared the worst. On sunday all hope was
given up, and Mr.. Nance was informed
that his hours ON earth were numbered.
Tie poor wife was also made
cognizant of the situation, and then
the love they bore for each
other was revealed in all its inter sity To
add TO the sadness of the situation, il was
known that by the death of the young bus-
band his wife would become . widow BE-
fore mother, and earnest prayers were
offered up to Him on high that the life
which hung on thread might be spared.
Not, however, until the last breath had
been drawn did the devoted, loving wife
give1way to despair, end when that mo-
ment arrived her grief was truly heart
rending to witness. She was perfectly
Frustrated, and even now her condition is
such as to cause her relatives and friends
no little alarm.
Yesterday afternoon DIR. Jackson and
other physicians held post norton ex am
ination, the result of which was not made
known to The BAzOO.
The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning from the Ohio Street
NJ. E. Church, Revs. Miller and Jackson
Two brothers of the deceased
are expected to arrive from Denver, Col :,
this morning, while still other relatives
will be present from Illinois.
