CATTLE STEALING COONS,
Arrest Of Two Negroes for Driving
OF and Selling q Farmers
Steer.

Last 1nursuay MI. n. II. Ewar
of the firm of Ewart & Co
butchers of East Sedalia, was returnin,
from the vicinity of Georgetown, drivin,
some cattle which he had purchased. HI
was overtaken on the road by. a colore.
man by the mans OF Ed. Morton, who vol
unteered his assistance il
driving the stock to town. On tn,
way, Morton told Mr.. Ewart that he
had yesrling steer and heifer which HI
would like to sell, as he was going L
move away from that part of the country
After the cattle had been driven to III.
slaughter kouse Mr.. Ewart agreed to rid.
back with Morton and look at his cattle
Accordingly, they returned to the vicinity
OF Georgetown, but after looking around
in that locality for some time tailed to find
the cattle.
MIR. Ewart returned to the city, Morton
promising to bring the cattle in next day
True 10 his agreement, the negro called at
Ewart Il Co.'s shop on Friday and in
formed Mr.. Ewart that he had not been
able to find the heller, but he had brought
the steer. After looking at the animal,
the butchers made an offer of els for him,
which was accepted by the alleged owner
and the steer driven to the pasture Of his
new owners, who did not propose to kill
him for several days.
Monday afternoon Mr.. A. 7 Henderson,
farmer living a short distance north OF
Georgetown, called upon Ewart & Co. and
inquired OF Mr.. Hickman, one of the firm,
if they had bought any young steers recent
ly, stating that be had lost one. Mr.. Rick
man described the steer he had purchased
OF Morton. Mr.. Henderson, after hearing
the description, was quite certain that the
animal was the one which he had lost, and
visit to the pasture proved that he was
correct.
Monday evening Messrs Hickman and Hen
derSon went before Justice Halstead and
swore out warrant for Morton, charging
him with grand larceny. This was placei
in the hands of Constable Carnes, who,
starting for the negro's residence at an early
hour yesterday morning, soon corralled
his man. Morton made state
ment, duplicating in the trans
action young negro by the name
of Clay, residing in the neighborhood, and
the constable brought him along also.
arraigned before Justice Halstead yester-
day afternoon, and pleaded not guilty TO
to the charge Of grand larcenv preferred
against them, and on their motion, the case
was continued until next Friday. Morton
was held to bail in the aum of $500, and
Clay's bond was fixed at 500, which he
succeeded in giving. Morton was not So
fortunate, and was committed to Jail.
Young Clay claims that he was hired By
Morton to assist him in driving the steer to
town, and did not know that there was
crooked in the transaction.

CROOKED COCKRELL.
How He Swindled the Citizens
Bank Out Of $50 on q
Forged Check.

Burr Cockrell is wanted by Constable
Carnes, but the chances of securing him, a:
least for the present. are not considered
good. For three months past Cockrell has
been in the employ of Mr. George Menifee,
working on farm nine miles northeast OF
Sedalia. On Tuesday he threw up his
job, and Mr.. Menifee, who is brother OF
John Menifee, esq, paid him of, giving
him check for 1886 on the Citizens Ma
tional bank of this city.
Not having pen and ink at hand, Mr..
Menifee used lead pencil in filling out
the check, which he gave to Cockreil, who
at once left for Sedalia. At what hour he
arrived here, is not known; but after bank
ing hours, Tuesday afternoon, he entered
the Citizens bank and presented q check
for $50. written with pen and ink, to which
Mr.. Meniiee's name was attached
OF course the bank oficia suspected moth
ing crooked, consequently cashed the check,
and Cockrell took his departure, which is
the last that has been seen of him in Sc
dalia.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Menifee came to
town and dropped in 1T the Citizens bank,
where he had some business to attend to.
While conversing with the cashier, the $50
check was referred to, when Mr.. Menifee
remarked that he had given no check for
that amount, and expressed not a little
surprise.
The paper bearing his signature was
shown him, hen he at once pronounced it a
forgery, and signi6ed his intention of prose-
cutting Cockrell to the full extent OF the
law, i'm case he was able to find him
With that intention he went before jls-
tice and had warrant issued for the forg-
er's arrest. which was placed in the hands
of Constable Carnes, but thorough search
failed to disclose the fellows wher. abouts.
1t is thought he took a night train out OF
Sedalia, and will undoubtedly give the
town q wide berth in future.

attacked was Sichers' soda fountain.
Well, now, If that party did not nearly
exhaust all the wind and sweetened fizz

strain on what was in store. and the ma
chine looked weary, as the rollicking, cute,
cunning and candid lassies walked away,
apparently satisfied with what they had
partaken of.
Appetite was their best grip. They sup
pered at the Garrison and the hotel forces

The young ladies were all from Texas,
and had been attending Hamilton college,
at Lexington. They were, in appearance,

lectual bearing and lady like appearance
They left on the night train for the Lone
Star state.

alley way between the county Offices, and
resolved that they would circulate petit
