Col. Charl.s L. Hunt, one Of St. Louis
most prominent and wealthiest citi-

accompanied BY his son, Col. Hunt, pur-
ch: sed some valuable real estate in our
city at a partition sale, he being one of the
parties interested, He speaks of building
dwelling houses, for rent, on his property.
A portion Of his purchase is what is
known as the tucker pasture" being the
grounds just above the railroad bridge,
L. IL hon
the Sedalia road. He thinks Of placing
brick-makirg machine on this ground to
convert the hills into building material
and level the land so that il will be more
suitable for the location of houses. This
would be ? paying enterprise. as it would
greatly enhance the value Of the land, and
the millions of brick that could be made
from it would find ready sale at good
price.

Sometime ago, Mrs. Elizabeth Scally,
of Illinois, obtained . judgement against
Cooper county on detached interest cupons
of T. & n. bonds for the sum of s., $3.50.
The county court, last week, ordered
warrant for the sum to be drawn on the
railroad interest fund. John HI. Stevens,
of California, had judgment on similar
coupons for the sum iof $S,563.S4, for
which a warrant was drawn on the same
funds. John r. Snyder, of Illinois had
Judgment on same account for 1854 so,
which the court offered to compromise at
eighty-6ve cents on the dollar of the prin-
cipal, which the plaintiff refused to accept.
Mr.. Snyder also has judgment on Boon
willie township bonds for 81 1882, for the
payment of which the court has been or
dered to levy tax. The court replied to
the mandamus, stating that compromise
ON these bonds had been offered ard &C
cepted for more than half of them that
the court thought that it ought not now,
i'm Justice In our people TO paw the tax.
