Some of the young girls Of the town
have organized themselves into soci-
ETY. for the study, during the summer,
of the celebrities of the United States.
The name of the society is the M. I.
and ]. G. T." We might "spell it
out" in full, but life is too short. Be
sides we might be mistaken. In refer
ing to the society hereafter we shall
simply call it 1.-THE Celebrities"
In communication to our last weeks
issue, our correspondent Facts" in re-
ferring to a remark made by someLeag-
uers to our ex-sheriff to the effect that
since they had voted for him, he ought
to favor them, left the inference, by an
improper construction of the sentence,
that that remark or similar one had
been made by Mr.. Boyle, while de-
Tending one of these land cases in open
court. We are sure that our cores
pondent had no intention to cast
any slur whatever upon Mr.. Dogle's
conduct as an attorney or as a gentle
man. In the first place, Boyle is the
last man to display any impudence
toward judge on the bench, and in
the second place, Judge Stillwell is
the last man to permit any thing of
that kind.
Last Monday, Mr.. John Beckley
had his trunk shipped to him from
Fort Scott, it arriving here by the
evening freight. Two young men Ply
the name of McCoole were on the same
train, and when they got off here they
claimed the trunk as theirs aud had 1t
taken to the Leland Hotel. They
then procured a team and taking the
trunk with them, drove out to Mr..
John Meade's, about 8 miles north of
town. On Wednesday Mr.. Beckley
came here in search Of his trunk and
easily tracing it to Mr.. Meade's, he got
Mr.. Griffith to drive him out to the
place after it. Arriving at the house
he identified the trunk and was just
taking it out of the house when the
McCoole boys entered and one of
them struck him on the head with a
club, almost knocking him senseless.
They attempted to continue their as
sault upon him but with the aid of
Mr.. Meade and Mr.. Griffith, he was
taken to the buggy. Griffith jumped
in and drove off as rapidly as possible
followed for quarter Of mile by the
McCoole's who threw number of
stones after the buggy. Mr.. Beckley
was brought to town and DR.. Fulton
called to dress his wounds, which, al
though very serious, are not thought
to be dangerous. A warrant was
sworn out for the McCoole's and they
were arrested and brought in yester-
day to answer to the charge of grand
and assault and battery.
THE BEST!
