Rich HILL, Mo-, April 30, 1883.

hlCh Till, MO., ApIil ous 1000.
Sunday was a bright and beautiful
day.
Rev. Hackney held services at the
opera-hOuse Sunday night. and preached to
large audience.
Rev. Reynolds remains with the NJ E.
church south another year. He held ser
vices Yesterday for noon and evening,
which we're we'll attended.
The Mite society was held Friday
night at the residence of DR.. w. H. Allen,
on Olive street. There was quite liberAi
attendance and q good time enjoyed by al.
The 6ne stock sale ut Kansas City, .
short time ago was attended BY several par
ties from Rich Hill, among them were /:
Capt. j. +. GOrrell, Joe Wilson and Ed.
Crabb. At this sale, Ed. Crabb and Joe
Wilson purchased fine full blood Scotch
bull, Aberdeen stock, which they received
to-day, and was seen on the street. He is
two years old and weighs 1850 pounds.
The purchasers paid $579 for him. He is
coal black, not . white hair on bis DO ~.
He is ine animal, and shows by his color
and the absence of horns, that he is q
thoroughbred Scotchman.
"A fight occurred yesterday, at the liv-
cry stable IF Carpenter & TrowbridRe, be-
tween Roxie Trowbridge and Jim Sails
man. The difficulty originated from .
bet of S., made upon the age OF \
certain horse. The money was
won BY Roxie, but claimed BY
SALESMAN. SALESMAN began TO abuse a
little boy holding the stakes, when Roxie,
only boy himself, eighteen years old
sailed in upon SALESMAN. The latter is a
man grown and claims to BE- bully, but
he couldn't stand before Roxie, and SO
after some severe punishment the bully re-
treated ia bully good order.
Lambert & Richardson's dramatic com.
pany played at the opera hall Friday and
Saturday evenings. On Friday evening
they presented The Bankers Daughter"
to crowded house and an appr ciative au-
dieDce. On Saturday evening they played
Bachelors" This is a good troupe, but
they deserve criticism on their penSrious-
ness to the pres.
"A little sensation was created in front
Of the post-office Saturday evening. the
scene being an amateur prize fight between
Judge Neptune and Col. Tom Irish.
The Judge was righteously Of
Tended At the biographical sketch of his
late official life, as summed up in last
weeks issue of the Mining Review. The
offended and indignant executive OF Law,
Justice and order, met the editorial histor-
ian in front of the postoffice, and without
waiting for any preliminary arrangements
or introduction to the subject whatever,
walked up and got in a Highlander on
the feft eye of the unsuspectiDg victim OF
his wrath. Of course it is utterly impOssi
bic to even surmise an approximation OF
what the result of this collision might
have been had not Marshal Mudd been
present, but he was there, and taking
charge of both, further obstruction to NOR
tally was effectualIy discontinued. This
is certainly a most wise and striking exam
pie for an aged man and executive Of law
to SO unhesitstingly set before his sub
jects.
