BURGLARIzED.
S. P. Johns Lumber Office
Visited by Robbers Yes
terday Morning.
Four Boys Taken in on Suspicion
and More Constantly
Arriving.

Another robbery has been add to the
list which have been committed Ia Sedalis
of late, but this one is a little the boldess
that has v, ben committed.
Yesterday morning a number of youths
were seen lettering arc und 5. Z. Johns
lumber yard on East Second street, but no
one paid any particular attention to them.
Mr. John and his son had occasion to be
out of the Office for few moments and
never once thought of locking the safe.
Your John was the first TO return, and as
he stepped into the Office he saw a number
OF boys running away. Looking around
be discovered that The safe door stood open
and at once suspicioned that il
had been gone through. A hasty examina-
ton was made when his suspicious were
confirmed, and $42 In silver aud paper
money was missing. Besides this money
there was a large sum OF postal notes
in the safe, but these the thieves did not
touch, doubtless being prof; ssionals and
knowing they could not get them cashed.
The police were at once informed OF
what bad occurred, and before long Officers
Prentice, Gossage and Parker had four of
the youthful burglars behind the bars OF
Hotel de Barnett. They were searched
inside and S2O.60 of the stolen money found
on ones person and some small change on
she other.
What became of the balance of the
money is not known, but the officers are Of
the opinion that these four either had &C.
complies or else, eng that they were be-
ing hard pushed, either threw the money
away or hid it, rather than have it found
on their persons.
81 6 L. l.
q set of criminals IS ever the sun shone up
on. They came here osten,ibly to attend
the fair, but really TO attend the back
doors and windows of residences and bust
ness honses.
They doubtless think they are slick
enough to sack the townan carry IL away,
but here they are mistaken. The police
force are not asleep, and many OF these
crooks will play checkers with their noses
behind the bars. Ali day yesterday the
police were adding to the four.
All that are arrested should be kept
locked up until after the fair, that visitors
may not be robbed and perhaps murdered
by the 6ends, for they would doubtless
stop at nothing, not even murder, il it
would further their ends snd help them to
get dollar or two.
! Once more the BAzoo cautions the citi.
lens and visitors tG be On the watch for
these thieves and pickpockets. If one of
them shows up around your house treat
him to dose of cold lead. The country
can well afford to disp, nse with their SER
vices.
One of these arrested yesterday morning
was nearly dead with a disease, and smelled
so badly that the officers deemed il sdvis-
able to get rid of him. He was accord
ingly arraigned ON the charge of
vsgrancy and fined S25, after which he
was given stay Of execution to leave the
city, which he promised to do within eff.
teen minutes. II is without doubt an or
gsnized gang, and should be broken up.

The trial of Hopkirk, young man
charged with murder, is now in prog
ress at Clinton, Henry county, this
state. Judge CAN'T occupies the
bench, and some of the best legal tai
ent in Central Missouri is engaged in
the case. The trial excites widespread
interest, people from near and far be-
ing in daily attendance. This muir
der, which was committed the night
of the 2Sth of last February, was as
cold-blooded and diabolical as any
that has ever stained the fair name of
a civilized community, and whoever
are guilty of it, deserve the full pen
atty of the law. 1t was without one
scintilla of justification; deliberate,
premeditated and for robbery. An
old man ripe for the harvesting
by the peaceful sickle of
death. seated at his table, in his quiet
country home, is suddenly assailed
and shot down like dog. His terror
stricken wife flies to a place of shelter
and the murderous villains ransack
the deserted house for booty. But it
is not necessary at this time to re-
count the CHASTITY details of that
nights bloody work. The BAzoo is
daily doing this in its full report of the
trial. 1t is fortunate that the offend
ed law has 80 fearless, able and digni-
fled a minister to obey its behests as
is Judge CAN'T. He recognizes his
solemn position, and the responsible
titles resting on him, and watches with
trained eye every development of the
case. Quick to perceive every minute
detail; familiar with every technical
ity of the most technical profession
known mentally equipped to CRAP
pie with every knotty and reconcile
question, this judge will see to it that
justice shall be meted out alike to the
prisoner and the people. Missouri is
proud of such judges.

The race course was nearly as bright as
day last night under the light of the twen-
~ electric lamps, and truly looked lovely.
The attendance, however, was small, not
one-third as large IS the enterprise OF the
entertainment deserved. Captain Stevens

tendance and the late hour at which the
performance commenced the entertain
ment would be curt lied, but that the full
combination would be showed to-day with
out fail. There were two races as follows:
FIRST RACE.

SECOND RACE.
Running, half mile dash. The entrisc
were Lillian White, Sprinkler and Hear

White second and Heartless third.

Indians aud recapture by cowboys, which
was heartily received. The CHI ering was
so loud and prolonged that the combination
was compelled to come before the smpi-
