A LIVELY BLAZE.
The Residence of Lee HazletOn
and Store of G. vi. HOI-
land Burned.

About 1920 last night an alarm of
fire was turned III from North MOni-
teau street Occasioned by flames being
discovered issuing from the residence
of Lee Lakewood opposite the Frank
lin school house. By some means the
call got mixed and went to East Sc
dial a snd those laddies turned out
with their usual vim, beating the
downtown engine to the fire, some
distance, though the downtown boys
claim not to have received the call.
Be that as it may, however, there is
no denying they were very
slow to turn out even after
their bell rang and as the same thing
has occurred once or twice lately. 1t
would be well tor the mayor to look a
little after their discipline. When the
engines arrived however it was found
no pressure had been put on from the
water works. Because the keeper of
the central office was absent from his
past or asleep which fact needs little
investigation from manager Baker.
By the time all these blunders had
been got over with the fire had nearly
completed the destruction of Hazeltons
house and ignited the
adjoining grocery and dwelling
of Charles H. Holland which was also
completely consumed with nearly It's
entire contents. Mr.. and Mrs. Holland
both beingovercome with the heat be-
fore they were able to remove any
considerable amount of goods
Mrs. Holland falling in the
in the bnrning building and having
no recollection of how she got
out. Mr.. Holland was Frustrated
in the yard and had to be carried to
Mr.. Goes residence near by where he
was placed under medical treatment,
and though seriously iii last night,
was not believed to be dangerous. A
few household articles wei e carried out
by Mr.. Hollands brother. But moth
ing whatever was saved from Hazel
toms residence, that gentle
man with his family being
absent at Ell Dorado Springs,
the house being left in charge of his
brother-in-law, Will COdding, who
processes to know nothing about how
the fire originated, though he was seen
at the dwelling about p. M, and for
time it was feared that he had been
burned in it. Mr.. II. has a policy of
$500 on his building but nothing on
his stock. His Loss including stables,
etc., is about 5000. Mr.. Hazelton's
loss is about 81, 900, but it could not
be learned if he held any insurance.

Want a Road.

Mr.. w. G. Hoffman, a prominent
stock dealer at Marshall, Mo-, was in
the city yesterday looking after the
transfer of four car loads of cattle
which he had bought at Mora station.
Mr.. Hoffman was much discouraged
over the cost and trouble incident TO
getting his cattle home, and expressed
it as his determination not to make
another deal in this section until a
northern extension was built.
81 tell you" he said "Our
people were never so anxious for a
rail connection anywhere, as we now
are for one with Sedalia, and We could
make it interesting to your people as
well as to ourselves, if We could Sc
cure it.
Speaking of the congressional fight,
Mr.. Hoffman stated it as his belief
that Cosgrove would carry the county
by large majority, as the people
were not only indignant, but thor
oughly aroused in his section at the
trickery and bulldozing practiced at
the late primaries, in brder to elect
Yeaman delegates.

MOnagan's Mistake.

Joe Monagan, an ex-machinist and
resident Of east Sedalia, aged so years,
met with an adventure last Sunday
which came near winding up his
earthly career. For some time this
old man has shown disposition to fits
of alteration of mind, superinduced
by his extreme age, and his people
watch him closely. Not long since he
wandered away to Flat creek, but be-
ing missed, was followed
and brought back. Last Sunday,
however, he managed to again get
away and the first news heard from
him was a message which came TO
Sheriff Murray from the neighbOrhoOd
of the Donohue graveyard, FIVE miles
west of the city, stating that naked
and unknown man was dying in the
graveyard. The sheriff took some
clothes and q buggy and went to the
scene where he found Monagan speech
less and unconscious. He had him
removed to the nearest house, occu-
pied bya colored man named Jackson
where restoratives were applied and it
was ascertained who be was. Mon
agan was unable to give any account
of himself or how he came to be where
found, or what he did with his pants,
which were missing. He was yes
terday able to return to the city, and
his friends think he wandered away
while demented and became over
heated.

A Heavy Damage Suit.

Mrs. Lucy Fry, of Greenridge,
whose suit against DR.. Chas. W.LeabO,
of that place, for assault, which created
such a sensation some time since, again
stepped to the front yesterday by filing
in the circuit court of Pettis county a
double damage suit aggregating the
snug sum of s13, 900. The suits are
based upon two commits of iibelOus
SANDER, for one of which she claims
SO, 900 damages and for the other S..
900. while the second suit embraces a
charge of breach of promise to marry,
for which another $4,000 damages is
claimed.
Mrs. Fry seems disposed to throw
Mr.. Leabo from the frying pan into
the fire, and if the allegations she
makes be true he certainly deserves
the rod she has picked for him.

Mrs. Anna Doyle Leaves her
Husband to Follow Lille
o. BanniOn.

The name of Lille o. Bannion, who
though but a girl has already become
familiar to the public through the
criminal records of the daily press,
and IT is indeed unfortunate that there
is no law adequate to deal with such
cases and if not reform this class OF
waits, at least prevent their evil infu.
ence from dragging others into the net
they voluntarily enter.
More than once have the police dealt
with Lille as far as municipal law
would reach her, but apparently with
no more effect than to render her still
more confirmed in her vicious ways.
Of late, however, she has
evaded them by keeping out of the
city most of the time, but it seems she
has not remained so far away as to be
unable to reach her latest inamerato,
an East Main street liveryman, and last
Saturday the pair left the city, grips
in hand, going in southerly direc-
ton. Had they have gone alone they
would have the best wishes of every
body for long journey before they
returned, but they took with them
Mrs. Anna Doyle, the wife of John
Doyle, a hard-working, sober man,
who. though poor, has used every
effort to supply the needs of his wife.
Fortunately he has had no children,
and when seen by reporter yesterday
stated that he should make no efforts
to bring back his wife, as he would
never under any circumstances live
with her again, as he deemed her CON
duct such as he could not overlook,
and if she again returned to Sedalia
he proposed 10 see she served term
upon the rock pile.

STEVENS SWINDLED.
An Alleged Horse Thief Gets the
Drop on Sedalia's Cham
piOn Thief Catcher.

Captain Ed. Stevens, Sedalia's
worthy mayor, was not little put
out yesterday by a slick teutOn in
mule trade which happened about as
follows
Pretty early yesterday morning
Henry Wolf, a German hailiDg from
Benton county and who speaks but
little english, rode up to Capt Ste
vens stables on q mule leading another
of the same species of animal and pro-
posed to trade them to Mr.. Stevens.
Wolf was accompanied by a son of
Joe Miller, who resides fourteen miles
south of the city who acted as
interpreter for the teuto-. Never
susPecting anything wrong under the
circumstances Captain Stevens
bought the span of mules paving
Wolf $50 for them and turning them
in the pen with his other stock.
Shortly after noon the Captain had
another visitor In the person of
Clement Hess of Benton county who
informed him that he a had prior claim
npon the animals in the shape Of an
unsatisfed chattel mortgage. That
Wolf was a tenant Of his and had
absconded with the stock.
Captain Stevens informed Mr.. Hess
that he would have TO prove up his
claim before he got the ''critters" and
Mr.. Hess visited attorney Cliff Heard
to get out a writ Of replevin,
but found that he would have
to produce his chattel mortgage before
he could get his team and Mr.. Hess
returned to Benton county for the
document. In the meantime Captain
Stevens began TO hustle in search of
the crooked wolf in Sleeps clothes
who had swindled him. Miller was
soon overhauled but at first denied
being at Stevens stables or knowing
anything about the transaction. Find
ing this no 90, however, Miller owned
up to being the party, acknowledged
that Wolf had paid him s1O.75 of
the money and given him the saddle
and that Wolf had bought ticket to
Lexington aud left on the train. A
telegram was forwarded to that point,
and the chances are Wolf will pay
second visit to Sedalia to-day accom-
panied by sheriff, and thus the mat
ter stands.

Loves Treachery.

A well-known tailor of Sedalia who
is nos In his sixties, was the victim
of good deal of fun on the part of
some of his brother knights of the
goose last Sunday. 1t seems that
the venerable gray beard has of late
been paying such marked attention
to giddy specimen of sweet sixteen
as proved distasteful to her, and in
order to get rid OF him she sought the
advice of friends who advised her to
treat him to a cold water bath. Last
Sunday he asked her company to a
little picnic at Flat creek and think
ing the opportunity good one to ap-
ply the suggested remedy, she accept
ed the invitation. The happy lover
rugged himself in his best and when
they arrived at Flat Creek his girl
wanted to 90 boat riding. They were
soon tossing on Flat Creeks billOwy
waves, and it was not long before he
found himself tossing beneath them,
as the deceltful maiden sought the
first opportunity TO capsize him. He
took it in good part until he learned
it was not an accident, and then he
grew wrathy indeed.

For Yeaman.

A patron of the BAzoo from
Green Ridge sends a long let
ter saying that the people in that
section propose to vote for Yeaman
solid. He says they are tired of this
campaign and are not willing to sup
port Mr.. Heard with his Knights of
Labor record. Of course the people
in that section are perfectly right in
supporting whom they please and are
certainly right in opposing Johnnie
Trim, but the BAzoo as in the past
favors Hon. John Cosgrove.

Wednesday was yesterday reported to
be quite i'll and his physicians say that
he is troubled with some kind of brain

A HARD CITIZEN.
X. f. Jones, of LamOnte, at Last
Manages to Get Himself
Into Very Hot Water.
He is Landed i'm the Sedalia Jail
After Making a Sure Record
For the Penitentiary.

Constable j. r. Baldwin, of La
monte, accompanied by Messrs C.. A.
Rogers, Chug Carton and James
SwOpe, of the same place, arrived in
the city last night, having in charge
+. f. Jones whom they turned ovSf
to the tender care of Sheriff Murray
for a twenty-one days stay under a
sentence from Justice Higginbotham's
court for having obtained from c. A.
Rogers a horse under false pre-
lenses.
The particulars of the case
are as follows. Last Saturday
Jones hired at Mr.. Rogers stable, a
horse, which he rode so hard and
treated so badly that when 1t was
returned Mr.. Rogers gave orders not
to allow Jones to have any more
horses. Last Tuesday Jones again
called upon Rogers for a horse, buU
that gentleman politely informed h&~
that he could not have any more
horses from his stables. Not at all
discouraged Jones waited until Rogers
was out of the way and then, secured
the animal from an emplOye by stat
ing that Mr.. Rogers had ordered it
given him. Once on the road the
poor beast was even worse treated
than before and was returned to the
stable minus hoo and so badly used
up as to be ruined for life. This was
too much for Mr.. Rogers to stand.
Hence Jones arrest and fine.
JONES HAS A HISTORY.
This, however is by no means the only
or the most serious predicament
into which Jones has managed f.
push himself since his arrival at Lax
monte, where he came about one year
ago from Highsville, where his
parents reside. Being naturally a
hard citizen he has ever since man.
aged to make it decidedly uncOmfort-
able for the good folks of the locality
and has more than once been cOmpell-
ed to pay fine for his frolics. Not
long since he got on spree and visit
ing the county line church proceeded
to break up the meeting. For this
he was arrested and taken before the
Justice and fined heavily.
Yesterday as Constable Baldwin
was about to leave with his prisoner
for Sedalia warrent was presented
from KnObnOster, johnson county,
charging Jones with having
OBTAINED BY FALSE PRETENsE,
two hundred and eighty dollars,
worth of goods from parties in Knob
noster. The warrant was duly
but as Jones was under sen
tence, the johnson county authorities
ere compelled to 90 back without
him, but were assured that he should
be at their service as soon as his term
expired. On the arrival of the party
in Sedalia they were met by Consta-
BILE G.. K. Robinson Of Brownsville,
who thrust under their noses another
warrant for the much wanted Jones.
This last warrant charges the said
r. E. Jones with having stolen from
James McKeever of Saline county,
one mare valued at S175.
When told of the engagements al
ready entered into by Jones, Mr.. Rob-
inson looked little disappointed but
accepting the situation informed Jones
that when he got through with Pettis
and johnson counties, he would be
pleased to have him play a star en-
in Saline.
