OUTRAGEOUS Proceeding.

II was reported to this office yesterday
that man, whose name cannot be learned,
met Frank Monroe on the street while he
was selling the BAZoo Saturday morning,
and told the lad that if he caught him
selling copies of the BAzoo in the future
that they would be tax from him and
destroyed. Frank is great support to q
widowed mother and q very worthy boy
about twelve years of age.
Is this the result of the attempted per-
secution of the BAzoo by the topographic
al urion? Can it be that members OF the
typographical union, backed by competing
papers, take this method to suppress a
newspaper that dares TO manage its bust
ness In Its own way?
How long will the people countenance
such outrsges to be committed upon boy
who dares 10 try to make little money to
afsist in the support of widowed mother ?

rallied in the yards at East Hannibal Thurs
day by broken rail. Sixteen cars were
scattered promiscuously along the track for
some distance. An engine went on side
track to pull one of the wrecked cars away
fro n the track when il struck q broken

BAD BILL.
How William Simons Was
Caught and Not Caught.
The Exploits Of a Desperate
Who L. Wanted in
Sedalia.

The following from the Nevada Mail will
be read with interest by those who renem-
Der the man Bill Simons therein mentioned
Within the past few we ks Bill Simons
has made for himself record as one of the
most daring horse thieves on record. He
was raised near Clayton, where he bears
the reputstiou OF desperate character.
On the 11th Bill went to the house Of q
maa named Snow, who lives near Clayton,
go. his dinner, and late in the evening ne
mounted one of Mr.. Shows horses and
rode of in the direction of Kansas. Men
were sent in search OF Simon, and notice of
his depreciation sent broadcast over the
country.
SUNDAY evening telegram was received
at Clayton from Chautauqus, Kansas, say
ing that Simon hsd been captured there,
and Squire Weyand started at once for that
place, out when he got there the man who
was 80 much wanted had gon,.
Simon was making for the Indian nation,
and had beea warned that the authorities
we're In pursuit of hun. He had stopped
for the night, at q cabin some distance from
town. The officers knew where to find
him, and being so confident of his cspture
teleeraphed that he was secured, so that
no time would be lost in returning him to
Missouri, but their plans failed TO work IS
we'll as they expected.
About midnight the cabin vas surround
ed, aud sure enough, Bill Simon was there.
de was dressed in "cow boy" style, with
two big navy revolvers 10 his belt. The
navies we're turned over to his czptors, and
he was put on horse, and with the party
star ed for town. Some of the guards were
walking, to keep themselves warm. and
when skiIt of timber was reached oimon
drew q revolver from one of his leggins
and dsshed of. In the darkness ard UNDER
brush he was soon hid from view OF his
guards.
A short distance from where he made
his soaps Simon left the horse be was rid
log and stole another one from an Indian
woman named Mrs. Silver. IL is thought
he came back TO Missouri, and search has
been made for hin about Clayton fJr the
Mr.. Shows horse was returned TO him
Bill Simon is about % years cid. DR..
Holmes, who called on the Mail Thursday,
says it is reported about Clayton that
Simon il wanted at Sedalia to answer to a
charge Of murder, committed come time
ago. Also that there is about $500 offered
for him. The doctor also thought that the
climate around Clayton would not be very
healthy for Simon u this time.

A Colored Crank.

The sheriff of johnson county yesterday
brought to Sedslia a crazy coon named
Robert Ousley, whom he claimed was cit
izen of Pettis county, and demanded of
Sheriff Murray to take chsrge of him. AS
Ousley's family are now residing in War
rensburg, and the Johnson county suthori-
ties failed to send the necessary documents
and proofs, Sheriff Murray very properly
declined 10 assume the responsibility. and
told the johnson county parties to take
HIM back home. This they did not do
however, but removed bin to LincolDyille,
doubtless with the intention of abandoning
him there. Should they do 80, however,
the probabilities are there will be further
notice of the case required.
