AGAINST AN OFFICER.
j. G. Wharton Prefers a Long
List Of Charges Against
Officer Gossage.

Joe Wharton, through his attorney, w.
w. s. Snoddy, appeared before NJ yor
Hickman yesterday, ana fled complaints
against Offer James Gossage, charging
hin. with having beaten, abused, NAL
treated, sni assault ed him (Whrton) in
q manner unbecoming an officer, and
striking him with q "huge" club,
breaking and frscturing his arm, and
asking that said Officer James Gossage be
discharged forthwith.
The mayor has taken the matter under
advisement and called q specia al meeting Of
the city council for Monday afternoon, az
which time the matter will be thoroughly
ventilated. A large number of witnesses
have been summoned on both sides, and
livelv times are expected.
Officer Gosssge is one Of
the most efficient officers Sedslia
has ever had and has always done his duty
without fear or favor as every cue can tes-
tify, and before he IS discharged from duty
stroag evidence that he has been Guilty of
anything unbscoming an officer will have
to be introduced.
IL assisting brother officer In the dis
charge of his duty is against the law, then
Mr.. Gosssge has certainly been guilty
o. tue tu-usSj put VI tue OeAci hon0
If it was right then he is not guilty and
will be so adjudged by the council at its
meeting.
Officer Fifer arrested Joe Wharton's
brother and was taking him to the cala-
bose when Joe and another young man
interfered and swore he should not lock
him up. Officer Gossage came up at this
time and attempted to arrest Joe wnen he
(Joe) struck the officer in t2e breast.
Then. and not uatil then, did the officer
use his club, and tnis be certainly had
right to do.

Something He Would Eat.

Heard good story on West End min
lister one day last week. He is 'vegeta-
risn of the stric,est order and in the course
of bis pastorisl career he was invited out
10 Sunday dinner by one of the sisters of
his flock, whose name for the nounce shall
be Brown. Old man Brown didn't 60 TO
church that morning. His wife to d him
to expect her to bring some company to
dine, and he with the cook. laid the foun-
dation for a superb repast. Mrs. Brown
came home, but all the company she
brought was the minister. They were
seated at the table when this sort OF con-
versation ensued:
"Mr. Jones'" meaning the minister,
"what part of the chicken do you like
best?"
Really, Mr.. Brown, 1 don't care about
any chicken"
well, here is some extra fine rosst
beef"
Excuse me. Mr.. Brown, i will torego
the beef"
"I have some tender lamb-how will
that suit ?"
"I never eat lamb"
"Well now know you can't refuse this
boiled ham,"
"Pardon me, but ham never touch"
During all this time Browns father, an
old gray-haired sinner, had been seated
near him watching operations, and stand
ing it as long as he could, he squeaked out
in a piping voice:
"John, mabe the - food will suck q
raw egg"
The enjoyment of that dinner was
spoiled. -Cincinuah Enquirer.

POOR AND FRIENDLESS,
Patrick Kelly is Taken in and
Does His Benefactor Up.

Friday nisht poor, fcrlm I'm indiyidu J.,
that is, he claimed TO be, giving his name
as Patrick Kelly, took lodging with George
Leonard and Thomas Martin. He repre-
sented himself rs man without money and
without friends. Mr.. Leonard took pity
on him and offered to share his room with
him, which offer Kelly grst-iully accepted.
Before retiring for the night Mr.. Leon
ard placed his money, amounting 70 S4S,
in his shoe, thinking that there il wUDld
be perfectly safe. The trio th:n went TO
sleep.
When Leonard arose yesterday morning
and put on his clothes he msd-
the discovery that his money and
silver watch were missing SO was Kelly,
the man Who had been without MONEY aud
without friends. He suppC sed he ~ould
never see Kelly sgain and made up his
mind that he was out ju-t S4S and q watch.
Not so with Mr.. Martin, his room mate.
That gentleman was mad and determined
to find the thief and bring MIN
to Justice if he had TO huut
the state of Missouri over. With this object
in view he started out, and rot long after
ward was rewarded by seeing his man III
:he Pacific Bar. Mr.. Martin waited for no
more, he thought only OF how ne and
Leonard had been duEed. Going into The
room he informed Kelly that he wanted
him fer robbery, but Kelly was not 10 BE-
taken so easily and showed fight Martin
was pretty good at this business himself
and few shoulder hits convinced Kelly o.
that fact.
An officer was called in and before many
more minutes ELAPSED the rCbber was
Lodged behind the calaboose bars. SDbse-
quently a state warrant was issues for bIm
and he was conveyed TO the county jai!
WHERE now is.
When searched by the officers al the
cslaboose only part OF the S4S was found,
Kelly: having spent the remainder al
Chaney's for a suit of clothes, which he
had on at the time OF his arrest. The
watch was found in his possession.
His preliminary examination is set r
next Monday, but as he has already COZ
ie-sed the crime it is hardly worth while
for him to have preliminary exanina-
ton. All that remsins is for The criminal
court to fix The length of time for which lie
will stop at Jefferson City, for he already
has ticket for there aud rooms engaged
with iron bars al The Windows.
Ii was about as cheeky robbery as has
ever been perpe!rated in this city, and If
the thief had received his just deserts he
would doubtless have been al The state
