A Queer RumOr.

1t is currently reported on the
streets that the nephew of Geo. S.
Sugden, to whom the miserable miser
willed his property disinheriting bis
daughter, is about to marry his cousin
Mary in order to make sure of the
estate. In Missouri first cousins are
not allowed to marry, but it is stated
he proposes to take her elsewhere to
have the ceremony performed. The
rumor it is to be hoped is untrue but
it is given for what it is worth.

donna preferred to remain first lady to
playing second violin to an ad-
venturer, though he had charming
daughter. At the same time, as she
is not averse to a little gamble now
and then, she thinks it better to pay
for her own chips than to provide them
for her partner, who, it is well known
in Paris, has mixed much with the
Kings and Queens of Baccarat.

Another Chapter From the
Knight-AnderSOn En-
brOgliO.
A. Knight Who Proves Cruel
Enough to Strike His Own
Sister.

The readers of the BAZOo will not
have forgotten the sensation created
Tuesday, the 18th of this month, by
the uDbecoming antics of a young
man named J. NJ. Knight, on the oc-
casion of the marriage of his sister,
Miss Annie 7. Knight to Geo. NJ. An
derson, a son of County Judge w. IL.
Anderson, full account of which
appeared in the BAzoo at the time.
Young knight at that time excused
his hasty action on the ground that
there was remaining undivided share
of his fathers real estate which he
was fearful of losing his interest in
unless a deed was made before the
marriage OF his sister. While his ac-
tons at that time were looked upon as
UNBECoMING ANY GENTLMAN.
much less a ''Knight" he was excused
on account of this explanation and the
public at best voted him a simple fel-
low, but harmless.
Another chapter to the history of
this ease came to the knowledge of
the BAzoo yesterday which if correctly
stated puts an entirely different face
upon the matter and stamps young
Knight as one of the most contempt.
BILE ours of modern times and unwor-
thy the name of manhood. The story
as told the BAzoo is as follows:
Since the marriage of Miss knight
she has not been to her former home,
the residence of her brother, fearing
to 90 there, nor has she removed her
own property from the premises. A
few days since Knight sent word to
his sister to come and get her things.
Last Saturday she accordingly
went to Knights for that
purpose accompanied by her
husband who remained outside
with the team. Not finding her
brother Miss Anderson proceeded to
her room and packed all her things.
Just as she completed her task her
brother
KNIGHT CAME IN
and remarked in a very rude manner
that she seemed in a great hurry since
she could not await his arrival. She
replied that she had nothing but her
own property and invited him to I'M
pack and examine = em if he doubted
her word. Miss Jordon who was also
present verified her statement. This
only seemed to anger Knight the
more and in a loud an angry voice he
babe them "shut up" at the same
time attempting TO strike MS sister,
who warded off the blow. The noise
created attracted the attention of Mr..
Anderson who left the team and en-
tered the house just as Knight slapped
Mrs. Anderson knight seeing An
derson enter sprang to a rack and
Selling a shot gun snapped it at his
brother-in-law but it failed to fire.
Anderson promptly drew a revolver
and fired at Knight, the ball passed
up his coat sleeve but did not pene-
trate the flesh and Knight dropped his
gun and fed. Yesterday young An
derson came to the city and filed a
complaint against Knight charging
him with an assault to kill. The con-
stable went after him and will proba-
bly bring the ungallant Knight before
the court to-day to answer, when the
true inwardness of the whole affair
will probably be developed.

The excitement of the hour yester-
day was the express robbery on the
Frisco. This fact was more interest
ing, locally, on account of young
rockingham having formerly resided
ia Sedalia and ran between Sedalia
and Denison, Texas, for the Adams
express company.
d. s. FROTHINGHAM
The chief actor in this robbery, besides
the man who did the robbing, came
to Sedalia in the latter part Of 1884,
and while working for the Adams
roomed and part of the time boarded
at w. III. Wallace's house, Mr.. Wal
lace being at that time agent of the
Adams at Sedalia. rockingham left
here last May, when the Adams COM
pany withdrew from the M. K. d T.
He then went to the Frisco where he
has since been running as a messen-
ger. His stepfather, G. F. Root,
who formerly was one of the proprie-
tors of the Sedalia Republican, a
printer by trade, now resides with
young Frothlngham's mother at
Mansfield, Wright county, Mo. Mr..
Wallace was seen yesterday and inter
rogated by BAzoo reporter regard
ing the robbery and rockingham.
''I THINK THE BOY is STRAIGHT"
Said Mr.. Wallace, "and they will
have to have very direct proof of his
completely before l will believe that
he is crooked" continued the old
agent of the company with considera-
BILE emphasis.
Other expressmen and messengers
were seen and they all expressed their
entire confidence in the messenger and
are positive that it was a veritable
robbery as stated.
AN OLD EXPRESS MAN TALKS.
G. L. Faulhaber, an old express
man, now treasurer of the Missouri
Trust Company, was seen and asked
what he thought of the robbery.
"There are some very damaging
circumstances to rockingham con-
Rected with the robbery" said Mr..
Faulhaber.
''The Adams people" continued
Mr.. Faulhaber, ''have very strict
rules in the east about allowing any
one in the car with the messenger on
any pretence whatever, but / do not
know that they are as vigilant in the
west as they are in the east regarding
this,ibut to say the least robbery
could be cleverly committed in the
manner this Frisco business was trans
acted"
NO ORDERS TAKEN HERE.
Mr.. Faulhaber then related an in
cident as follows, which brought
about this vigilance in the East:
at was perhaps ten years ago, a
messenger was handed telegram at
Pennsylvania town, saying: Turn
over your run to --, and re-
turn to Pittsburg by first train 1t
was duly signed by the superinten-
dent and the rum was turned over to
the man handing him the telegram,
who had free access to everything and
perfected the robbery in the highest
style of the art.
''From this robbery" continued Mr..
Faulhaber, "The custom had grown
up not to recognize written orders
under any circumstances, regardless
of their origin. and hence l think from
this, that perhaps the company may
look little suspicious on Frothing-
ham, if that custom had been brought
to the West"
1t is hoped by all his acquaintance
that he will come out unaccused and
his honesty dOubly proven by the
arrest and conviction of the guilty
party to the robbery.

Fishersville Hay Market,

1t may not be generally known that
more hay is shipped from Fishersvllle than
from any other depot on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad. Such IS said to be fact, and
we think it Is true. Certainly very large
quantities are loaded there and forwarded
to Richmond and Southern points. Just
now there are three balers at work in that
section owned respectively by Messrs.
Burch q Turner, of Albemarle; John W.
Ellison. of Waynesboro and Jno. W.Todd
of Staunton. the last named managed by
Messrs. McCue & Kemper, of Fishersville.
The section of county known as ssThe
Long Meadows" the natural depot for
which is Fishersville, is great for grass. A
fine wheat country, it seems pre-eminent-
ly suited for hay. No part of the county
is better for timothy and clover. It is no
uncommon thing for some farmers there
to bale from 100 to $50 tons on moderate
size farms. This year the crop is very
large, but unfortunately very little of it
is choice quality, owing to the continued
rains after harvest. Coming in competi.
ton with the bright green-looking West
ern timothy, it doesn't show to advantage
and can be sold only at reduced price,
The nett price to farmers is So per ton in
the field when sold to the balers, which.
though low. is considered satisfactory. and
regarded as much better than shipping on
the farmers own account on the open
market. VIM. A. Freed has just disposed
of his crop, a very fine one, at this price;
so have the Hamilton brothers, Jake. John
Ed and Hugh. Capt. G. Benton Coiner
raised three kinds of timothy, clover and
mixed, and sold separately at prices rang
Ing from Sc to IS. Among the other crops
just going into market we notice John D.
Miller's, W. G. Gilkeson, Henry c. Carter,
John H. Stump, John Paul, DR.. Watson,
and Mr.. Fifer. Besides the hay, the surplus
straw is being baled and shipped, but at
prices which would seem Improbable. We
hear of sales at $500 for wheat straw and
300 for rye. And we understand there
Is no money in it for the shipper even at
these low figures.
