Efforts are being made to secure the
pardon or n communication of sentence OF
CIuverius. who was condemned to be
hanged on the 10th of December, for the
murder of Miss Madison, by citizens of
Virginia. There seems to be a settled
belief that he will get respite, at least.
But before he is pardoned the strongest
reasons will have to be forthcoming.
The supreme court of Virginia has de
clined to give him new trial, and, in
the end, the governor will, no doubt, let
the law takes its course.

y special from Fargo, Dakota, says.
AT the late election the town of La
Mature secured small ajority in favor
of removing the comfy seat from Its 10
cation at the rival town of Grand Rapids
10 La Mature. 4 few nights later, in pur
suance of the usual practice IN such
cases, the mob went to capture the
county records by force. They found the
courthouse in possession of the sheriff
and posse of twenty armed men, but
the latter fled before fierce assault, and
the doors were beaten down and the ar
chives captured. This was done know
ing that United States Judge Francis, of
that district, had granted an Injunction
restraining the removal, which had not
been served. 1t is learned now that
Judge Francis regards La Mature as in
contempt of court, and gives them ten
days to get the records back to Grand
Rapids and purge themselves of contempt
He refuses TO hear their attorneys. 1t is
one of the bitterest of county-seat fights
for which Dakota is noted, and there is
danger of further violence.

Missouri. The melon crop is now lust,
at its height, and this delicious fruit is

One Of the stations from which much
Of this fruit is Skipped is Bertrand.
which is on the Cairo branch. It is not
an uncommon sight to see as many as
fifteen or eighteen cars on the siding
waiting to be filled with melons. The
country around Bertrand is rich
sandy bottom, md melons oftentimes
grow to half the size Of men. All the
farmers of that locality raise more or
less melons, and all Of them invariably
do well with the crop. All the melons
shipped from that station go out in car !.
load lots. "A car usually holds 1900
melons, and the growers sell them to.
middle-men, or dealers, at from $50 70
1925 per carload. The first fruit that
is put in the market sells at about S125.
or q little less than 10 cents each, while
later in the season it drops until some
times they even sell as low as $40 per
car, or 5 cents each. The freight on
carload Of melons between Bertrand
and st. Louis is upward Of $50, or in
the neighbo rhood Of 2 cents a melon.
Dealers from all parts Of the country
flock around the local lily where melons
are sold at this season. Spectators
out of q job. try TO make a few dollars
out Of the crop BY buying up the fruit
in carload lots and selling 1t along tho
road. From Bertrand tho melon crop.
is shipped by local freight The spec
ulator, for instance, starts out Of Ber-
trand with two cars of melons en- route
to ST. Louis via Poplar Bluff. The
train stops at every station for i've
minutes to half m hour to load and I'M.
load freight Dealers at all the small
stations understand the kink, and are
at the depots as the local comes in.
Perhaps tho melon-car is back q quar-
ter Of milo from the station: But
they rush back and are not long in {
finding the man in charge. If a deal
is made at all it is made mighty quick.
