Officer Bodie,s Share.

Officers Mcbride and Bodie were before
the mayor yesterday to settle trifling diff
ference between them. 1t seems that last
June Officer Mcbride captured horse thief
with the assistance of Officer Bode but as
the former was the man who first detected
the thief, he claimed that he was entitled
to the largest portion of the reward, which
amounted to $3.50. Officer Bodie asked S25
for his portion, but Mcbride refused to pay
that amount and they took the matter before
Mayor Rice to settle. After hearing the
story the mayor concluded that Bodie should
be given S25.

To day the cases Of Babe Hunt, Maggie
Williams and Nellie Green are to come uI
10 the justice courts Tor hearing, snd it is
with DO little interest that the good people
OF Sedalia are awaiting the result.
For the past year these houses of i'll
lame have been allowed to disgrace the
whole city by their open and notorious
presence In the very business center, and
the plea has been put up by the city au-
thorltles that 1t was impossible to convict
them, and for the sake OF revenue, in the
form of hush money, paid by th5ir unfor-
tunate inmates into the city treasury, they
have been permitted to thrive and tester 10

man. Finding that this laxne IS was like

by the mutterings and pleas of the Hcen-

No evil is necessary, AID this one OF all
