KILLEDON THE TRACK.
A Deaf and Dumb Man Loses
His Life by Carelessness.

Yesterday evening as tine west bound
Missouri Pacific train was laundering
alsng, about i've miles east OF Knebnoster
and thirteen miles west Of Sedalia, the en-
gineer noticed a man walking along the
track, directly ahead, and going in the
same direction of the train. There WAS
nothing strange about that, and the engi-
neer pursued his course, until be saw that
the man was apparently not cognisant of
the approach OF the train. whercupon the
whistle was sounded to warn the pedes-
'rian Of his danger. Still he needed not
the warning, and BY this time the space be-
tween the train and the man had become
so lessened it was impossible to stop in
time to 0bviate the horrible casualty that
followed. The engine was reversed and
everything possible done to avoid the scci-
dent, but too late, as the engine ran over
him, horribly mutiiating his body.
The remains were gathered up, plseei
on the train and carried on TO knObnos
and upon investigation il proved to be y.
w Coorier, asingle man about twenty-five
years OF age, both deaf and dumb. whose
residence was at the home Of his father
about Eve miles distant from KnObnoster,
in the country. to which place the remains
were taken. No blame Can be attached TO
the engineer. CoOrier, realizing fully his
incapacity to hear, and knowing the dam
ger he subjected himself 10 by walking up
on the track, is alone responsible for the
loss eli his life.

morning by Bette Forest against Samuel
McCurry, mention Of which has already
been made i'm this evenings BAzoO, was
executed about half-past one o'clock this

The evidence. so far as adduced up to the

A Blood-Stained Bond.

Kansas City Times, Jan. Is.
One of a series of papers of unusual in

cause of action in case brought i'm the
United States circuit court, the title of the
case being Henry Lipscvmb sgainst Cass

Cass county. the face of the bond being
$500. and attached to the body of the

bond was issued to the ST. Leuis 4 Santa
Fe railway company by the county court
OF Cass county at Jacksonville, on Octo
Der /, 1869. and bears signature Of
Jehiel Z. Stevenson, presiding judge. The
action at this court in placing bonded in
debtedness upon the county caused great
agitation of public indignation, in fact,

OVER THE ROAD.
The Deputy Sheriff of Henry
County Passes Through the
City With Prisoners.

Deputy Sheriff Elliston, of Henry coun.
ty. passed through Sedalia this morning
with four Jail birds to their future home,
Jefferson City.
TwOof the prisoners are young white men
convicted of burglary and larceny, at a re-,
cent term of the Henry county court. They
each go to the penitentiary for a term of
five years.
Benton Simpler, one of Africa's sons, was
also under the tender guardianship of
Deputy EliistOn. He was tried and con-
viCted OF the same charge-burglary and
larceny. He, TOO, gets five years i'm the
pen.
Rudolph Lock is another victim. Being
tired of honest toll, he concluded TO steal
rather than work. This was all we'll
enough, if some one had not caught on'
and gave poor Rudolph away But ''the
best laid plans of mice and men gang aft
aglee." Rudolph was pulled, tried and
convicted on a charge of grand larceny,
and he, too, goes {" Jefferson TO take mp his
abode in the pen for two years
Mr.. EilistOn informed the BAzoO report
er that the whole set were hard cases. and
were only receiving thier just deserts. He
also stated that vigilant watch had to be
maintained, as either of them would make
break for liberty, if occasion presented
itself. And this statement was in a few
minutes verified.
The train upon which they were 10 20
east having pulled in, Elliston and his
birds had hardly seated themselves for the
journey, when Simpler, the darkey, made a
break for liberty. He was promptly ar
rested however, and unless something mar
velous takes place to prevent, ere another
setting of the Sun, this crime-stained trio
will he snugly ensconsed in their new
home.

Consequently an interview was held with
the gentleman from Nashville. and to the
inquiries of the parties interested, be stated
that he was en- route to Nashville, Ten,
