Attempted Robbery.

A gentleman who came In from the
south, this morning, informed BAzoo re-
porter that the residence of Opt. Harry
Z. Moore, the merchant prince of Nevada,
was entered by thieves between IL and l
o'clock Monday night. They entered by a
rear window in bed room. on the ground
floor, going through the parlor and into
the sleeping apartment of Mr.. Moore and
wife. When they entered the room the
noise awakened Mrs. More, and she began
TO shrek for her husband, which aroused
him. He at once arose and rushed after
the person, who made exit, but only got a
glimpse of one man, and could not tell who
he was in the dark Mr.. Moore then dress
ed himself and went up town and called
Marshal Duren, and the officer spent the
remainder of the night looking for tie
thief, but up to the present time there is no
clue to the guilty party.

the ponies were missing, and for time he
was at loss to know in which direction
they had gone He finally tracked them
to Ohio street, and thence south for quite
u distance, when they went west aud struck

The ANIMALS must have reached the rail-
way crossing just as the south-beund pass

was found dead by the side OF the track a
short time thereafter. The other animal
escaped without scratch. but the buggy

SILKS SIN.
He Passed Through Sedalia This
Morning, On His Way to
St. Louis.

Detective Browning, of ST. Louis, passed
through Sedalia. this morning, having in
charge Arthur Silk. alias Reynolds, alias
Bend, a young man who was, some weeks
ago, sent to the work house in Kansas City
on fine Of $500 for vagrancy.
1t seems that the prisoner is q very hard
character. though only twenty-five years
old. Some time ago be was jailed in the
st. Louis city prison on q charge of burg
larry, but about five months ago he led a
gang in an attempt to break Jail, and SO
successful were they that five escaped,
among he number being a man named
Shea, who vas under sentence of death.
Reynolds made his way to Kansas City,
and a few weeks ago he made, as it is be-
lieved, an attempt to burglarize the pawn
shop of j. N. Smith, On Main street, in
that city. There was not evidence suffi-
Client against him, however, to make cut a
case, and so he was Simply tried on a
charge of vagrsncy, and the recorder found
him guilty and gave him fine of $500.
Last Saturday Reynolds made an escape
from the workhouse guards, but was re-
captured after few hours, and then the
st. Louis authorities found he was the man
that they had been looking for, for some
time, and as a result Detective Browning
was sent after him. He will now have the
opportunity of answering to the double
charge OF burglary and Jail breaking.

He Was Crooked.

Joe Howard is comedian. His speci-
atty is the personation of Cinnamon. He
seems to possess some moral defects of a
Chinese sort. He was dropped from a
travelling company in Chicago for DRINK
enness. One OF the actresses met him in
the street, and he told her that he was hum
gry and shelterless. She refused to give
i'm money, fearing that he would spend il
for whiskey. but bought him meal tickets
and lodgings at a first-clsss hotel After
thus living on her bounty FOR few DAYS,
he went to her room, ostensibly to thask
her for her generosity; but when she
turned her back for a moment he slipped
her jewel case and wallet into his pocket,
and was afterwards caught pawning the
jewelry.

SEDALIA'S POPULATION.
Simmons, the Directory Man,
Sets it at Between 1900
and 1900.
A Bazoo Reporter Cleaned Some
Interesting Facts This
Morning.

A BAZoo reporter was shown, this morn
ing, the advance sheets OF the directory OF
Sedalia and Pettis county, now being got
ten out by Simmons d kernodle. 1t will
certainly be an invaluable work, as it
will contain a complete directory Of the
city, giving the names of all its inhabitants,
| their occupation, residence, etc, and in ad-
dition complete business directory Of each
town in Petlis county, giving the names
and postofice address OF all the farmers,
together with the number Of acres owned
or rented by each
slow many names will the city por tion
of the directory contain. Mr.. Simmons?"
asked the BAzoO man.

the exact number vet.
"This would give Sedalia population
of how many"
"MOst western directory were, in count
of names obtained bv 81, but my expert

ton of very nearly $4,000"
"This, of course. includes the floating
population"

''Can you give me the number of firms
engaged i'm business in the city,"
"NOt exactly. The different branches of
business, including mercantile establish
ments, manufacturing interests and prOfes-
sions will reach probably over 7O0-not
under that number, anyhsw. Ten years
ago they footed up 209, and four years ago,
about 400. This shows how Sedalia has
improved"
"The business directory of the county
will contain how many names?"
"AbOut 200, should Judge"
"And the general directory OF the
county"
"In the neighborhood of 1000 names.

"Not less than 10000"
"How many copies OF the book will you

I've have contracted for 500, but we
should have received a patronage that
would have enabled us to print loo. Sc

man to acquire wealth in"
