t viduals might have been seen moving
e with the crowd, and making their
o way towards the entrance to the
!, coaches. When the train came to a
stop, from one OF the middle coaches
there alighted, a handsome and neat
ly dressed young lady of nineteen. She
! was slightly on the blonde order with
large blue eyes, petite form and grace
full carriage. She was Immediately
surrounded by several of the excited
E individuals before spoken of. To one
E of them, young man dressed in So
Der black, with spOtless linen and
newly shined shoes, she consigned
moderately sized "grip" and basket;
to another she commenced an earnest
and excited conversation. The CONVEX
satiOn lasted but minute, when the
young lady exclaimed and loud enough
for BAzooITE to hear, 81 am going to
Morey u Crawfords office first to fix
up them papers" She was then led
off by tall young man, placed in
hack and taken to Morey & Craw-
fords Office. The young man dressed
in sober black..was left behind with the
grip" and basket. The sequel to
this prelude is told as follows: The
young lady was Miss Annie I. Knight;
the tall young man her brother, j.
NJ. knight; the young man in sober
black was Mr.. George NJ. Anderson,
the young l4dy's intended husband,
and son of Hon. w. III. Anderson,
county judge of Pettis county.
Miss Annie and her brother are
orphans. When her father died
He left them six hundred acres of
land. Five hundred and twenty acres
of this land has heretofore been divid-
ed. Yesterday j. NJ. knight wanted
the balance to be divided before An
ME married. This is all that he
claims he wanted done, yet the friends
of young Mr.. Anderson seemed to
have the idea that he wished to de-
fraud his sister out of her PROF erty. in
some way. Mr.. knight admitted to
a BAzoO reporter that he was opposed
to the marriage, because, as he said,
"He has nothing and is uneducated. S
All of my people, except myself, are !
But to 60 back a little with the G
story. Miss Annie has been visiting t
at her unele's at Fulton and arrived !
here direct from there. At MOrey q 1
office, she executed a quit =
claim deed to part of twenty acres in o
this county to her brother. b
Before the arrival of the train which <
was to bring the bride, her brother v
and w. E. Crawford, a merchant \
Of Green Ridge, met at the depot. 81
They quarrelled about something and e
,ame to blows, for which they were u
Irrested by Officer Fifer and released y
IN bond. They will have hearing n
O-day before Recorder Levens. This
ight and the subsequent actions of
he party in and around the depot -
lad attracted the usual large crowd of \,
Interested spectators to anything that -
a sensation. The crowd =,
Ook up the wild and interesting idea =
hat two young men were fighting for 60
be same girl, and they surrounded e
be hack that contained the young :.
ldy and her brother and followed it -
p Ohio street to Morey & Crswford's A.
flee where they gathered in such ~,
umbers as to make one imagine that -,
murder was being committed =.
ithin. -
After the deed had been signed and -,
'knowledged by Miss knight, the -.
other held out his hand and said.
Good bye, Annie" She took his -
md and he clasped her in his arms, ~,
if to give her last embrace. She -
id, "Pm not going far, I'll soon be =.
OK" He replied, you'll never IL
me back to me-" And thus they
rted.
