A NEAT CAPTURE.
Of Thieving Hood
lums

Several days ago the police obtained in
formation tn The wholesale boot and shoe
house of w. S. Msckey, on West Main
street, bad been robbed OF several pairs of
boots and shoes. The matter WIS placed in
the hands of Officer Jim G0sssge, vino soon
succeeded in obtaining clue 10 the thiev. 8.
and yesterday he succeeded in arresting the
leader of the gang, a young cclored hood
lum named James Riley, ali Williams
On beiag taken before Chief Barnett,
the young man 'squealed" aud
furnished information which will
lead to The recovery of some OF the
stolen property aud the arrest of other
members OF the gang. According to Ri
ley's confession, the hoodlums would keep
watch on the back door OF the store and
when they found the clerks absent in other
portions of the building, they would sneak
IN and steal one or two pSirs OF boo's or
shoes and make their escape. If the sto-
len boots would not FL, the thieves would
take them 10 the retail establishment kept
by the same firm ana exchange them, tell
ing The clerk that he hat purchased them
the d ~ before of another clerk.
The prisoner was sent 10 the county jill
in default of b.il to await an -xlninatlon
which will be- held this morning. Other
arrests will follow.

St Joe, Mo-, Dec. 20-[SpecisL IA
series of crimes which, for hendishness,
have no parallel in the history of North
westers Missouri came 10 light here to-day,
owing to the arrest of an iDhuman brother,
who figures as the principal. The party
referred to is Joseph Rattle, bachelor,
who came to Missouri from Illinois thir cen
years ago and located on farm FIVE miles
east of King City, Gentry county. There
accompanied him two sisters, one aged 80
and the other 20 ,ars. The eldest was q
widow with two children, and the youngest
unmarried. Several years ago the lunar
ried sister gave birth TO an illegitimaie
child, the paternity of which was laid at
the door of joseph Rattle, the brother. The
babe ~as born dead, and proof has been adj
duced to show that IT was
THROWN TO THE HOGS
and deycured. Two years after this cir
camstaDce a second ilIegi innate child was
born, then third still later, and in both
instances the bodies were fed 10 the hogs.
On the 2lst OF Dec mber, 1884, a fourth
babe was born, and is supposed 10 have
been similarly disposed OF, which | to
such startling revelation that on Sunday
the Dist, Louis Richie, a neiE hbor,
saw Joseph Rattle leave the house hur-
riedly, carrying some object in his
hands. SurmisiDg something was wrong,
Richie, accompanied by his wife and
Eliza Darby, proceeded 10 Rsttie's resi-
dence and fornd the sister above referred
to, dead in bed. An examination revealed
the .act that she had died from childbirth.
While the visitors were investie ating Jos.
Rattle returned to the house and claimed
that his sister had ed from fever. He
stated that she took sick on Saturday The
20 b, and died on the Dist. Mr.. Richie
several reighbors. and after
copsultstion DIR. Alexander, of King CITY,
gave childbirth as the cause of death, but
The child could not b. found, and there is
no doubt but that
RATTLE THREW 1T TO THE Hogs.
the matter was reported 10 the officials of
Gt n:ry county, aud for the past few days
they have BEEN investigatingi. thoroughly,
which disclosed even more than is relsted
above. Rattle was taken in custody to-day,
and he will be fortunate, indeed, if he
escapes lynchipg. 1t is seid nephew Of
Rattle, sg, d about eight years, son of his !
sister, died under suspicious cir
some six years ago, and it is |
now thought he was foully dsslt with.
The theory OF the officers is that the lad |
became coguizant OF the Illicit relation sus-
lsiIed by his uncle aud aunt. and fearing
ne would divulge the same, the uncle made
way with him. Rattle has acquired con-
siderable property since coming to this
'ec'ioB, and will undoubtedly fight hard
or his life, provided a mob does no; make
hort work OF him.

A VIGOROUS HUGGER.
Trials and Tribulations of a Newly

A couple who had evidently Just been

a classic-faced, giddy looking creature OF
ihirty-6ve ummersand as many very hard
winters,w while be appeared TO be son OF toll
about ten ears her junior. Their baggage
consisted of probably dom paper bags
filled with balf-eaten oranges, sickly-!ook-
ing banna nss and fifteen or twenty pounds
of tsffy and stick candy. On entering the
coach they squstted down on the first seat
they came to and nestled up as close to
each other rs possible. Before the train
bad left the corporate limits of the future
great, the seedy-fooking groom gently slid
his arm sround the vast OF the blusking
bride and in this position they remained
uumolested until their arrival al this point
The stopping of the train on lis arrival
there failed 10 disengage the ''spoODy"
couple. The conductor shouted "oedalia"
at them, but they needed him not
John, the forter, put MS head between
them and screamed "Sedalia," aud one or
two passengers who had enjoyed the show
all the way from ST. Louis, yelled at them
awhile, all 10 no eff, ct. Finally the depot
police were called in and the couple came
boldly out of the car. The hugling still
being in progress, span of carriage horses
were hiiched 10 each one of the badly
mashed couple and driven in op osite di-
