Major VIM. Gentry.

We are always pleased TO publish to the
world something telling of the thrift and
enterprise of our public spirited citizens
and trust our doing so may be the means
of not only advancing their individual in
terests, but rebound to thesgood of every
body generally.
The gentleman whose name heads this
article perhaps deserves more credit than
any other one citizen of Central Missouri,
for having established in our midst mar
ket for blooded stock, his magnificent
Locust Grove stock farm, containing, some
two thousand acres, and located near
Hughesville, this county, being thorough
ly advertised among the stock men of the
distant west, as well as throughout the
length and breadth of the "sun swept"
prairies of Texas and New Mexico. We
have often, from time to time, noticed in
our columns his large sales of short-horns,
Herefords and other fashionable breeds,
and now have the pleasure of again an
nouncing the extraordinary sale, recently,
to parties in the Lone Star" state, of
single animal for $500 cash, this belonging
to The jack and iennet department of the
majors splendid ranch, and was consid
cred the finest animal of its kind ever ex-
ported from this state, being l5l hands
high and less than two years old. Long
may you be with us, major, and enjoy your
broad acres and numerous herds, for, of
you, and such, all are proud.

The detective and the gentleman &C.
companying him were arrested by
Bailey on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Another gentleman, who is In an
excellent position to know the history
of Bailey, the dynamiter, gives corr
robOrative testimony of other wit
nesses, as to the robbing Of the
church. He says that Bailey is a
eovardly rascal and will do anything
to accomplish his purpose. When
the strike was in progress in the
Hooking valley Bailey in his capac-
ity of city marshal wonld be
at the depot and search every stranger
arriving, pretending to be looking for
concealed weapons, and would ex-
anime their letters and papers to see
if they were detectives. Things grew
worse in Shawnee. The house Of

the Catholic church was robbed, also
a store. While investigating the
Hugh Kinney case for the citizens

upon appearing on the streets were
yelled at by the mob, who acted like
demons, throwing stones at them and
anything they could get their hands
on, breaking the panels out of the
door of the Justices office.
Bailey was arrested at the instiga-
ton of a detective for stealing a re-
volver from the latter, and held in
bond in the sum of $500 to answer to
the charge of larceny. He was also
arrested for carrying concealed
weapons.
1t is charged that Bailey is not a
citizen of the United States, but is a
crafty, bigoted Englishman, and that
outside OF certain clique, he hasn't
a friend in the Hooking valley.
This, readers of the BAzoo, is one
of the leaders of the "noble order"
