LADDONIA LACONICS.
Correspondence of the Ledger.

LAppoNIA, Mo-, Nov. 23.-The
Literary Society met last Friday
and with but few exceptions,
the programme was carried out. AS
it had been sometime since the society
met, it took some ykirmishing to get
ready for work. Finally all things
were settled and the society opened
by little Media johnson reading o
good selection, containing good ad-
vice to all. Jimmie Calhoun failed
having a defamation and Miss L..
Muldrow did not read. The question
of Laddonia having a $4,000 school
house was then discussed. DIR. Cox
was the first speaker; said he was not
much interested, but thought a
school house was need, and thst the
public park would be a good place
for it. Henry Beal then said Lad
donna could we'll afford a better
school house that he was ashamed
of the one we had. VIM. johnson
thought a new house was needed, but
they would not decide that night on
the place to put it ; thought the public
park not a good place, as the school
children, would destroy the trees
trees and children did not grow wei
together. Willard Barton was IL
favor of a new school house. j. z.
Smith thought the house should be
built. but opposed the public park al
the place. Mr.. Medley was in favoI
of a new house costing about $4,000
E. G. Kennen thought a house cost
ing $4,000 would be the best w
could do; said it could not be bull
in the park, as the park was givel
the town for a different purpose
said that sprouts from young tree
and young children went we'll togeth
err, Eve presume he spoke from ex
perience.) G. Beal said he was no
going to say anything foolish, that
good school house was necessary t.
Laddonia's future growth. Tha
religion was better preceded b.
education. A Myers was in favo
of a good house. j. Myers though
a 81, 900 house was not needed, tina
it would be like having a thousan'
dollar pig-pen, with one pig in it an
nothing to feed it on ; that we coul
mot hire teachers now for more tina
90 pupils. +. NJ. Shell thought
$4,000 house hardly large enough
that people would build fine churche
| to go to once a week to show thei
fine clothes, but have a poor schoe
house to send their children to. E
e. Kennen asked him if he went
church for that purpose, as he sa'
him going early every Sunday mor1
ling. We think a new scnool hous
will soon be built. A good pre-
lgramme for next Friday night.
4. Thanksgiving will be observed i
t Laddonia. Preaching by Rev. Y
F. Graves. Supper given at nigl
l by the members of the Rebecca degre
= of I. o. o. F. Ball at Browns hal
We have a new society in tow
which will meet at the Laddon:
s hotel tomorrow night. The fir.
;. one speaks while there has I
pay 5 cents. The money goes to IL
Christian church. We have not heal
s from the W. A. club for sometim
but presume they are at work {
some good effort. We wish the
would get more lamps.
9 The organ in the church has bee
e trouble to a few, very few; they can
j. feel like worshiping God while th
q thing sits there. We presume thu
n will get used to it by degrees, and
their spiritual devotion come back

PRISON DELIVERY.

Thursday afternoon, about , clock three Mexican prisoners of the peni tentiary, made their escape by des- perate and successful attack on Guard O'Brien. O'Brien was guarding them on the east side of the prison, where they were engaged in handling rock for the east wall of the prison, when one of the conyicts hit him in the mouth with large rock which knock ed him down, when all three piled on him, but in spite of the manful resis- tance made by Mr. O'Brien, they took his gun and pistol from him and start ed on a run up the Gila river toward the thick heavy underbrush about a half mile away, and as they passed over the hill one of them stopped and took 9 couple of shots at Capt. White who retuned his fire, but neither was hurt. By thIs time the entire prison force were aroused and great many shots were fired at the escaped con- victs, the Gatling gun was turned loose and in about minute got in 600 shots. During the miscellaneous firing one the fleeing men was shot through the body and rccaptured the other two escaped. Although vigorous pursuit was immediatly commenced they are still at large The leader is tie Mexi- can who tried to kill Chief Buttner, of Tucson. The wounded man is still alive.
