Martin Irons has taken his depart
ure, and left as quietly as he came
He took passage ON west-bound
Missouri Pacific train No. 8 yesterday
morning, but his destination is NOT
known to the BAzoo. That he in
tended to tarry awhile, there is nc
question but Wednesday afternoon
he was informed by body of striker:
that his presence was not desirable,
and hence he sought other fields
without delay.
When it became known that the
sawed-off chairman was in the city,
numerous creditors began searching
for him, with a view of collecting
what he owed them. That they were
not successful, the result shows con-
clusively. He ran the gauntlet like
an old thoroughbred, and only one OF
the many men whom he owes sue
ceeded in locating him. This one in
dividual was Pat Connors, to whom
Irons owes 800 for rent. Mr.. Con.
nors asked for the amount due him,
but it was not forthcoming, nor is it
likely it ever will be.
Knowing that Irons tool chest was
at the Pacific shops, Mr.. Connors en-
deavored to levy upon it, but was in
formed that under the law this could
not be done. Not to be left in the
lurch, though, Mr.. Connors Instituted
suit before Justice Marvin, and the
case is set for hearing on the 18th
proximo.
Mr.. Boatwright, the East Sedalia
grocer, patiently awaited the coming
of Irons to lieuidate bill incurred by
the purchase of paper collars, etc.,
but this, too, remains unsettled, the
chairman never even gazing into the
store as he passed by the door. Other
creditors had a similar experience,
and if Irons left dollar in the city,
other than what he expended for
liquor, history does not record it.
As to how the dy ,amiter spent the
entire day, no one appears to know.
Many of the men who had formerly
worked with him sought to locate
him. but to no purpose. They were
loud in their denunciation of him, and
the longer they discussed his conduct
the angrier they became. BY night
they were worked up to fever heat,
and it was at this time that commit
tee of thirteen, all strikers, determin-
ed to rid the. city of his presence.
They had received an intimation that
he would leave on the midnight train
for the east, and they decided to be
present and witness his departure and
deliver unto him a farewell message.
Half an hour before train time the
committee visited the depot, but Mar
tin failed to materialize, hence the
commissioner then made a
trip to East Sedalia, where
they sought high and low for the OBJ
ject of their wrath. but their mission
proved futile.
eIt is not our fault that we did not
find him" said one of the searchers
to the BAzoo last evening. "What
did we intend to dos Well, We would
have made first-class item for you;
of that you can rest assured"
"You don't mean that there would
have been hanging BEEF" Il 80
"Well, l cannot say as to that; but
Sedalians would not have been an
noyed with him in the future" i
p In various quarters this information
was corroborated, and there is scarcely
a doubt bat that Irons would have
