f. w. Sinclair.

j. ID. Crawford yesterday received
a letter from ex-Alderman E. w.
Sinclair, who is now at Lyons. Colo
RADIO, saying that his health had SO
far failed him that he was no longer
able to attend to his business and was
confined to his room. He had IN
tended to go as far as Steamboat
Springs, but was now unable to go.
This will be sad news to Mr.. Sinclair's
friends, of whom no man has more IN
Sedalia. Although it has long been
known that Mr.. Sinclair was suffering
from consumption, 1t was hoped that
his trip west would bring about his
recovery, but from his own statement
it would seem otherwise.

HanDY Hunters.

Sedalia sportsmen are jubilent over
the reports of the plentifulness of
game in the hunting grounds and
anticipate a fine seasons sport this
winter. The bear story from Otter
vile and the reports of wolves in
Dade county have, however, set them
wild, and it is probable the woods
will soon be full of Sedslians and
guns. The great bear hunters held
an informal meeting yesterday, and
after canvassing the matter, scOn-
cluded that as the Otterville bear had
killed nobody and the Dade county
wolves had, that the latter was pref
cradle game on account of being the
most vicious and dangerous. 1t was
therefore decided to make an eXcur-
sion to Dade county with view to
exterminatidg the varmints. The
party will consist of A. Farnham,
Hanly Pilkington, Sam Rose and
DIR. White. 1t was also intended to
have secured the services of A. X.
Easton, but a prior engagement
with Mr.. Dempsey's party prevented.
Mr.. Farnham yesterday had the
breech of his gun well padded in
order to prevent. the recOil from its
discharge dislocating his shoulder, as
he proposed, he said, "to load her to
the muzzle." DR.. White engaged him.
self Frightening and sharpening up
his veterinary surgical instruments,
and says he proposes to give the boys
anatomical lectures and dissected les
sons on hydrophobia in wolves. Ham
lev Pilkington sent his hunting suit to
the tailor to have extra padding and
spring steel tenders placed on the vul-
nerable and salient parts. Sam REESE
invested in two dozen steel traps which
he is having fitted to a wire suit so as
to cover all portions of his body. He
claims that wolves will not modest a
steel trap under any circumstances
and that from behind such an ar.
mament he can proceed with impunity
into their midst and dispatch them
with revolvers. The boys got Bent
Ingram to dispatch Governor Mar
a request for one of the state
gatling guns which they ray they de-
sire to have to protect the camp at
night. They have not yet received
reply from him but expect to do so
to-day. The party will not be ready
to leave before Monday morning.
Another party left yesterday for a
ten days hunt in the Usage hills.
1t consisted of Messrs. A. b. Demp-
sey, George McClain, VIM. Campbell,
H. S. Dorsey of Gillispie, Illinois and
A. Il. EastOn. Charlie Roll declined
to go. he says he is willing to help
tackle the char" or the wolves, but
he don't want to be in any party of
which Mr.. Easton is a component
part, as he has strong antipathy to
the gun he carries.

Burglars About.

For a week past no little complaint
has been made in all parts of the city
of nightly visits made by prOwlers,
who enter houses and carry off almost
any thing they can lay their hands on
that is portable. In several instances
the burglaries have been of a rather
heavy character and the booty valua-
bic though in most cases petty thiev-
ing has constituted the depredatiOns.
So far operations have been mostly
confined to private residences. The
mode of procedure in gaining an en-
trance in almost every instance, how
ever, denotes the work of skilled
cracksmen. and forces the conclusion
that the town is infested with
a well organized gang of
dangerous and skilled craftsmen
who are liable at any time to extend
their operations on a much larger
scale. So prevalent has become this
belief that many persons have prepar-
ed for an inroad by purchasing re-
volvers. Mr.. Dempsy yesterday
stated to a reporter that he was SELL
ing more revolvers than he had ever
sold before. in the same length of time,
and said he, Everybody seems to
want the best and largest sizes The
police seem to have their own opinion
of the matter, but are inclined to be
close-mouthed though evidently on
the alert, and the chances are first
class sensation, with probably funer-
al or two, is on the eve of transporting.
The following depredations were re-
ported yesterday, and doubtless there
were others, but owing TO the fact that
there is an unaccountable disposition
on the part of the victims of such
affairs to keep them secret, they have
not come to light.
Between five and six o'clock Thurs
day evening, some one carried off two
fine hams from in front of McCOr-
macks grocery store.
About midnight thieves attempted
to enter the residence of Mrs. Love in
East Sedalia by priying open the rear
window, they succeeded in getting it
partly raised when it slipped and fell,
causing her to awake, she sprang
from the bed and called out, which so
frightened the would be burglars
that they fled, She stated that there
were two men, one Of whom she
thought was a white man and the
other very black negro, or a white
man with mask on.
Mrs. r. w. Gentry. residing at
90S Ohio street, yesterday morning
missed a very fine horse from her yard
which she feels confident was stolen,
as no trace of the animal could be
found yesterday.
An East End saloon keeper, who
did not desire his name mentioned,
stated to a reporter that some one had
entered his saloon by a back window
and helped themselves freely TO the
drinks, taking with them when they
LETT two boxes of cigars and two
quarts of whisky.
