Thieves CAPTURED.

City Marshal Joseph Murray and
Constable Willis johnson, Monday,
arrested Ed. and Newton Brown,
colored, who have been carrying IN a
series of systematic robberies in this
city for the past two or three years.
E.. Bennett, who lives just on the
edge of town, had reason to suspect
the Browns of robbing his premises
and accordingly had them arrested
and they Immediately began a search
of the Browns premises. The arti-
eles stolen from Bennett were found.
They were large quantities of lard,
meat, etc. A large trunk was found
also, containing silk dresses, ladies
and gentlemen's fine underwear and
silverware of all kinds and in other
parts of the house, various other art
icles, such as fine bed clothing, all
known to have been stolen. Newton
Brown is a hard case, having been
shot at three times by three different
parties, once in the eye, by the sher.
if of this county, while he, Brown
was under arrest for crookedness
The two are in Jail to await the actor
of the grand jury. There has been
good deal of stealing done in Mexic'
and it is thought this will break
up. Our officers deserve great credi
for the promptness with which the,
follow up every clue to any crooked
ness.

BASE BALL.
Mexico 5, Winchester 5.

ACAtCO - WAuChe8bEr ..
The game last Monday afternoon
between the Mexico "Browns'' and
Winchester "Scotts'' was the finest
ever witnessed in this city. A very
small crowd was in attendance.
The Mexicans won the toss and
sent the visitors to the bat, who were
retired in short order. W. Baldwin
reached first on balls and scored
on hits by L. Baldwin and Buckner.
The Browns made another run in the
Sd inning, while the visitors were
being credited with ciphers. In the
9th inning, on a muff of a long fly
and o lost ball the visitors tied the
score, to which they added another
in the 9th inning. In the last half o.
the ninth inning with two men ou'
and two strikes on Cardwell, th,
prospects were very gloomy for tn.
Browns. Cardwell reached LIST has,
on being hit by pitched ball. Ebe!
was substituted to run for Cardwel
and on catcher's attempt to throw
him out at second he was allowed t,
tie the score amid tremendous ap
plause. Game was then called O

CARMiNE CURRIE CAPTURED.
A Painter" From VandaI,a,
somewhat on the Marry, Visits
Mexico Recorder T~orreyson
Lands him in Jail-The Way
OF the Transgressing
Printer Is Hard.

Last Friday a gay young man from
Vandalia called on the LEDGER Office.
and said he was a printer. We knew
this was false because he was drunk.
As q painter of the town red" he was
a success. He appeared to he the
only artist that had a regular license
to paint Mexico red, whenever he
thought the town needed that style of
decoration. The boys acted as il
they had positive instructions not to
interfere with him when he was en-
gagged In spreading on the vermillion,
and the fidelity with which they car
ried out those instructions not to in
terfere with the gifted artist, excited
much comment. When it comes to
imparting a lurid aspect to the town,
this first-elass artist, whom everybody
respected, but those who are trying
to initiate his style of painting, are
mere daubers, and should be prompt
ly suppressed. His name is NJ. H.
Currie. He wanted to join the
Browns and claimed to be the ''finest
battery in the world" During the
day he called at Recorder Torreyson's
office and got a marriage license to
marry Miss M. Phillips, of vandalia.
who, he swore, was Of age. Satur-
day, Recorder Torreyson got a poin-
ter that the young man had made a
false affidavit. Joe Beshears was
sent to Vandalia and arrested the gay
young man and he is now On the in
side Of the Jail without his license,
liquor Or red paint. The parents OF
the young lady should rejoice at the
narrow escape she made.
LATER-Currie was yesterday fined
$500 for perjury. It costs money to
do good painting of the red hue.

Mexico Z, Winchester and Umpire 5.
Tuesdays game between Mexico
and Winchester and the umpire was
witnessed by a fair sized audience
who had assembled in anticipation
of witnessing a fine game Of ball. In
this they we're not disappointed as
the contest was as close and interest
ing as that Of the previous day. The
Browns had the game fairly won on
several occasions but the umpire al
ways came to the rescue of the Win
chester boys. In the 9TH inning
Frost reached third base in safety, as
q majority Of the spectators thought,
but the umpire, as usual, called him
out. He was loudly Kissed for this
decision. The Browns then asked
that a new umpire be substituted,
but the Winchester nine fatty re-
fused to do SO. Again in the ninth
inning when the third man was very
plainly out on home base the umpire
decided the runner safe and another
game was lost to Mexico on accoun,
Of a partial umpire.

NOTES.


The Mexico boys are "faded."
Mexico is fated to be done up by
umpires.
Bush and Cardwell make a very
effective battery.
Ladies don't seem to flock out ex-
cept on free day.
Ebey and Diggs both had their
hands split at Sedalia.
Every one interested should come
to the base ball meeting tonight.
The Sedalia boys are clever, gen.
tlemanly fellows and the Browns
enjoyed their trip.
The battery work Of the Baldwins
at Sedalia was as fine as was ever
witnessed on the grounds.
The public likes to see a good
game of base ball but 1t is becoming
rather expensive to a few.
Mexico has hard luck in getting
visiting mines to furnish good UNI.
pires-Louisiana and Winchester fol
instance.
1t seems that the ladies have quit
patronizing the game judging from
the attendance at the Mexico-W Win.
chester games.
On the way home from Sedalia the
Browns played two innings against
Moberly 2 to 0 in favor of Mexico,
Ram stopped the game.
The fellow who umpired the Mex
leo Winchester games would prove
a strong drawing card if placed OF
exhibition in some cline museum.
The Browns entered into the con.
test with Winchester in q crippled
condition but would undoubtedl,
have won the game if nj partialit,
had been shown in umpiring.
Mexico can beat such country club
as the Louisiana nine without mucl
trouble, but when it comes to fool
ing with Sedalia and st. Louis com
bined they are not SO successful.
Thorp. the pitcher Of the Lebanon
ILL.,, nine, and whom the St. Loui
Browns tried last year, occupied th'
box for Winchester. He was n
such pitcher as the Browns ''littl
man."
,, The first game at Sedalia stood l
to Is in favor of Sedalia. Both nine
played very loosely. On the secon
, day q great game was played. M,
/. leo lost the game by a very close d.
cision of the umpire. Score 4 to
Sedalia had three professionals br
the Browns kept them busy.
