WINDSOR'S VAIL.
A Couple Of Stock Men Who
Were Played for Suckers

Correspondence of the Bszoo.
WINDSOR, Mo. April 80.
Saturday night. at Baugh & C,mroell's
billiard saloon. there came near being q
bloody sffray, the facts being rs follows:
For several days past, two stock men
from Texas have been in this section, buy
ing up ali the good cows they could find.
They happened to display quite hand
some roll of greenbacks, which caused
many "vags" eyes to wafer. The stock
men were Swallowed and treated for several
days by a third-rate black-leg named Bill
Draper. He introduced the men around
among business men, and showed them
where there were many cattle, some of
which they bought. This gave them much
confidence in Draper and through Ora
per's cronies. and his own bragadocia,
they were finally induced to engage him
to assist them in getting up their 800 head.
They gave him 500 and started him out;
but instead. he was found by the stock men
in the aforesaid gambling den, "buckipg
the tiger" with a flush hand of money.
They bounced npOn HIM for their money
and got most of it. They expressed their
opinion in the matter very freely.
One P. Black, topper and gambler, who
has kept his family on short rations for
several months, was winning this money
from Draper, and be got very angry when
the marshal arrested Draper, sprineing TO
the door, with billiard cue in hand. He
threatened to demoiish anyone attempt
ing to take Draper from the hall. Fists
and cudgels were used quite lively, but
finally the offenders was taken into custody
and their hearing will be tomorrow morn
ing. There were SEVERAL others Knocked
down at the hall. This has been . place
of great annoyance to the good citizens of
Windsor, and surrounding country. They
have had several of their bows to find their
way to this place. which has proved the
starting point on the road to ruin.

Death of Mrs. Bette McCullou9h-

Again is the BAZOO called upon to note
the ravages of the grim reaper, Death,
whereby another light has gone out and
another home has been made desolate.
Mrs. Bette Mccullough, who returned
from the state Of CalifOrnia about ten DAYS
ago, accompanied BY her husband. died At
$50 o'clock yesterday morning, at the resi-
dence of her mother, Mrs Sarah NJ. Rog-
ers, No. GIG West Sixth street, of consump--
ton. surrounded by sorrowing relatives
and friends.
Mrs. Mccullough. nee Miss Rogers, wax
born May Goth, 1856, and her childhood
days were spent in Sedalia. For several
years she was q teacher in the public
schools, and when she r, signed, In 1882, the
board of directors realized that a vacancy
existed which it would be difficult to gil.
On the 18th day Of July, 1882, Miss
Rogers wa, married TO Mr.. Mccullough,
and soon thereafter they proceeded 70 the
Pacific coast, the indulgent husband
thinking a change of climate would prove
beneficial to his wife's health
>uch was rot the case, however, for instead
of improving she slowly but surely grew
worse, until she realized that death wa
near. About three weeks ago she signifed
her desire to return to Sedalia to die, and
the journey was undertaken, although
with many misgiviSgs. The seeds were too
deeply sown for even hope of recovery, and
both husband and wife were prepared for,
the blow which came yesterday morning
The funeral will take place from the
Christian church at 2 p m. to-day, Elder
Duncan officiating. The pupils of Broad
way school. where Mrs. Mccullough for
merly taught, will be dismissed and viii
attend the services in body, thus paying
the last sad tribute to her whom they
loved SO we'll. Friends of the family an
invited to attend.

DEATH IN THE DEPTHS
OF q Well Which Drained q Pig
Sly and Privy at the Rob-
inson Place.

For the past four or Eve weeks cases of
typhus fever, extraordinarily malignant
and unusually fatal, have appeared in
neighborhood three miles west of this city.
which naturally excited a great deal of
apprehension at the time, especially among
physicians. who by their experience have
learned to dread an epidemic OF this nature
as they would that of Asistic cholera or
small pox, for typhus is a fever which is
very contagious and very destructive to
adults, and in times past great cities have
uttered from il to an awful degree.
The fever first broke out in the family
of well.:o do cOIOred man, named johnson
residing three miles due west of here, at the
forks of the road The head Of the family
member barely escaped with life. A white
man who lived some miles beyond and vho,
while passing by the house on his way
home from the city, was in the habit OF
stopping at Robinson's we'll and drinking
of The water was also seized with the fever
and in the course of time died.
These facts caused DR.. Ed. Small, who
attended the Robinsous in their sickness,
to investigate the cause, and he found that
the we'll referred to drained not only pig
sly but privy, both of which we're in close
proximity to the we'll. The doctor imme-
diaiely ordered the RobinsOns to cease
using the water from the we'll, and since
that time no new cases Of the fever have
appeared.
Now, as there are . number of wells and
cisterns in this city which are said to be in
the same condition as that of the Robin
son family, would it not be good idea for
the sanitary policeman, who will soon COM
mence tour of inspection, to pay especial
attention to this matter, and report such
generators of disease to the board of health

A New Definition.

"Ma, what is grass widow ?" asked q
Harlem youth, who had been reading in
the papers about person of that descrip-

"Why, my boy, 1 can't explain it exact

"l'll bet l know, anyhow" said the
smart youngster.
"Well, tell me-"
"a grass widow is female woman
whose husband died of hay fever" he ex-

SCARED STEEDS.
O. j. Farley and James II. Curran
Thrown from q Buggy Yes
terday Evening.

There was considerable excitement on
East Third street little before five O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, caused by q runaway
horse. Mr.. James II. Curran, the restau-
rauteur, and Nh. o. J. Farley, the cigar
ia an, facturer, were returning from East
Sedalia in one of Farnham & Gilman's
buggies, and when nearly opposite Pat
SuIlivan's saloon the horse became fright
em.d at passing engine and ran away.
The occupants of the vehicle did their
best 10 check the animals speed, but to
no purpose, and as it kept going west on
Third street, dozens Of pedestrians stopped
to await Developments.
In front of Mike Sullivan's saloon stood
a buggy belonging to Mr.. James Glass, and
as the runaway horse was making directly
for it, collision was noticed 10 be newt
able. 1t came, too, q mirute later and both
hind wheels of Mr.. Glass vehicle we're
demolished, and the animal attached there
to would probably have wrecked the re-
msinder had bystander not caught him.
Still the livery horse kept on going, his
speed undated, until nearly to the rail-
road crossing, where Messrs. Curran and
Farley were both thrown out, slighting in
the street. The runaway horse. relieved Of
a portion of its load, then wheeled around
and started east, but vas caught a short
distance from the scene of accident and
taken to Farnham & Gilmsn's stable.
Psssers-by at once FASTENED to the assist
ance of Messrs. Curran and Farley, and it
was found that the latter gentleman was
quite badly hurt, while Mr.. Curran had es-
caped with slight bruises and a cut on his
nose.
Both were assisted into the store-room at
the railroad crossing, and soon DR.. Soils
arrived, when he examined Mr.. Farley
and found that no bones wele broken,
although his back was hurt
and he complained OF great pain.
So great wss his agony that il
was almost impossible for him to move
any portion of his body, and not until DIR,
Soils administered hyperdermic injec-
ton of morphine did he obtain even partial
relief. He remained at the store until a
carriage was secured, when he was taken 70
his room, where he was reported as resting
easy last night.
DR.. Soils is of the opinion that Mr.
Farley is not dangerously hurt, although
he may have sustained internal injuries
which will develop later.
