A BRAVE ACT.

a large heavy draft team Of Mr.. Slosser,
attached TO truck, while yesterday at the
Fort Scott depot, became frightened and
ran at a lively gait along Second street to
Main, where they turned south and as they
came tearing along where there were teams
hitched on either side and others filling the
highway everything was ripe for collisions
and disastrous results; when n brave colored
man, Isaac Myers. when they had gotten OPP
positc the marble works Of Zimincrle and
Adams, ran ont and caught up the lines that
were dragging on the ground and though he
was in the air n good part of the time, being
raised off his feet by their speed. he manag
ed to keep from going down, and by jerk
ing and pulling on the ines and the bits,
which he finally reached. he succeeded in
bringing them to halt before Ask and
Child's store. with nothing but triflng dam
aye TO the wagon. II WAS brave and we'll
executed act and one worthy of high COM
mendation as most people who attempt to
stop runaways only make them worse by
causing additional fright or by driving them
out of their course in the middle of the road
and being the means of having them collide
with teams and vehicles at the sides of the
streets. The clever act was witnessed by q
crowd of people who were loud in their
praises of Mr.. Myers tact and bravery.

ABDUCTED, MAYBE.

The family of Mr.. Hugh Former, south Of
the city, are distressed over the unaccounta-
bic disappearance of little girl they had
adopted as their own some nine years age,
she being child of Squire yance's formerly
of Derby. The little girl was about four
teen years of age. 1t was the day Of Sells
circus. The family had come to the show,
and on returning in the evening the girl was
missing, rs also were her clothes and two
valises. The most energetic search has
failed to give any clue to her whereabouts
or to develop any reasons for her fight.
Whether she was abducted, kidnapped or
left on her own accord, they have no idea or
other means of determining. She was a
bright girl and finely developed for her

Officer Henry C. Brasier reports having
had a lively little skirmish with a couple OF
big listed advocates of personal liberty"
over near the Santa Fe depot last night be-
tween seven and eight o'clock. 1t seems
that the fellows were bent on decorating that
part of town in scarlet When the officer
came upon them he made raid on them and
they made a stout resistance, but a brother
officer came to his assistance and after sun
dry hard knocks the succeeded in bringing
the boys to their senses and marching them
otto the cooler. We did not learn their
names but presume they will give some of
their best names in their interview with His
Honor this morning. Officer Brazier SAYS
that no big listed bullies are going to run
that part Of town.
