A Queer Case.

Justice Marvin was occupied yes
terday in hearing a somewhat pecu-
liar case Last July Mr.. Scally, the
East Sedalia grocer, brought suit and
attachment against Henry Willie, a
Missouri Pacific brakeman, to recover
the amount of a grocery bill. Some
ten days after the attachment Willie
married and then attempted 10 abate
the attachment on the ground of be-
ing householder. Failing in this he
signed his pay roll to Mr.. Scally and
the attachment was removed, the as
signment was hOnored by the pay
master and the debt and costs liquida-
ted. Shortly after Willie deserted his
wife and skipped for parts unknown
and his wife Of few days, Mrs.
Annie Willie, brought suit against
Constable Carnes claiming return of
the amount on the goound that as a
man of family his wages or property
were not subject to attachment. The
evidence disclosed that Willie was not
married at the time of the attachment
and that his settlement Of the count
waived any right he might have had,
if he had have been, and any right of
his wife through him to plead the
household act. Judgment was given
in favor of the defendant.

Death of Mrs. HardcasIIe.

The announcement of the decth of
Mrs. Adelaide Case Hardcastle, wife
of Mr.. George t. Hardcastle, will be
received with regret by friends of the
deceased in this city. Her death
took place in Chicago last
Tuesday and her funeral took place
yeste rday from Grace church, North
st. Louis. She was inferred in Belle
fontaine by the side of her son George,
who was much beloved here and who
died some five or six years ago. Mrs,
Hardcastle was born at Sackett's Har-
Dor, n. Y, but much of her early life
was spent in St. Louis, where she
was subsequently married to Mr..
Hardcastle. She came with her fam
lily from Boonville to this city and re
sided here a number of years. Since
the death of her son George, to whom
she was deeply and tenderly attached,
she has been an invalid, and when
the family left this city for Chicago
little over month ago, it was pre-
dicted that her death was not far off.
She leaves husband and four chill
dren, G. c., Frank, Della and Lille,
to mourn her loss.

COwarClly Coleman.

Richard Coleman was before his
honor, Justice Fisher yesterday eharg-
ell with assault and battery on Sarah
Aldred. The particulars as addueed
on the evidence of the witnesses are
that Coleman was riding mare up
the road near where Mrs. Aldred
lives, the animal got away from him
and declined to allow him to recapture
it, knowing doubtless from experience
that a beating would follow, seeing
the animal loose Mrs. Aldred kindly
caught it and held it until Cole
man came up very angry
and swearing vengeance against
the animal. Mrs. Aldred remenstra-
ted with him. He replied with an
oath that he would kill the
and rudely seized hold OF the
reins. In order to save the dunn
brute punishment, Mrs. Aldred still
continued to demonstrate with Cole
man and chung TO the reins. This on
" increased COleman's brutal pas
sions and he turned upon Mrs. Aldred
and began to kick and beat her. Like
most brutes, who mistreat women,
Coleman is mainly dependent upon
woman for his support, his mother.
She. ofcourse, was in court to inter-
cede for her ungallant son. She is
moor woman, and she alone, must
stand between him and the Jail door.
Hinder these circumstances Justice
Fisher was compelled to forego his de-
sire to punish so brutal criminal as
he deserved. and after severe lect
let him off with a fine of SO and
costs, and Coleman's mother went
out to raise the amount.

WHITES WAGON.
How a DefauIting Debtor Got
Ahead of Constable Carnes.

EX-Constable Carnes was a mad
man yesterday, but had to acknowl-
edge himself badly beaten all the
same. Sometime since suit was
brought against NJ. G. White, who re-
sides fourteen miles distant from the
city. Mr.. White failed 10 pay up the
cost and Wednesday Constable Carnes
procured horse and facing the severe
blizzard rode to Whites armed with
an attachment for wagon belonging
to the latter. Arrived at Whites
Monte was cordially invited to warm.
He was sufficiently chilled to cause
him TO accept the invitation and so
cordial host did Mr.. White prove,
that it was some time before the hard
eued legal limb could find with all his
cheek sufficient courage to state
his errand. He did so at
last, however, with due apologies.
Don't say word" said White, at
is all right and no apology Is needed
come right along and l will show you,
the vehicle The two sailed out
into the bleak, chilly barn yard where
the wagon stood. Monte soon had his
team hitched TO it and bidding White
good bye started for the gate. He
had not gone ten feet, however, until
a wheel came off, the axle dropped
and so did Monte and the saddle he
had thrown into the wagon. The
horses were frightened and started to
run, but they had gone but little dis
lance until another wheel came off,
then another and finally the fourth
and the vehicle was converted into
drag. Investigation showed that
every nut had been removed from the
wheels while Monte had been enter

Mr.. White declared he knew nothing
of them and in turn apologized to the

DEATHS D0INGS
Two Old Citizens of SedaIia
Called by the Dread Mes
Senger.

A telegram was received in this
sity yesterday bearing the sad Intelli-
gence of The death of Mrs. l.. NJ.
Maltby, at Santa Fe, n. NJ A lew
weeks ago Mrs. bMalty, accompanied
by her daughter, Miss Mary, and her
daughter and ,son-in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Thornton, left for the
home of the letter at Santa Fe, where
she expected to remain at least during
the winter. From letters received it
was discovered that the change of eli;
mate had not proved TO be rs benef.
cial to Mrs. Malbv's health as it was
suppo ell it would be, and she was
taken sick with Il malarial attack.
She, however, seemed to rally. and
Mrs. Thornton wrote that the physi-
clan in attendance deemed her out of
danger, but had decided that o. ing
to the altitude of Santa Fe it would
be better for the invalid to return
here. Letters were sent in response
by her children here asking that she
at once be sent to them, and many
plans were made for her comfort.
Before these could have reached her,
however, the dread messenger came,
and on December 1st, just ten years
from the time of her husbands death,
the gentle spirit passed away. Mrs.
Lavinia NJ. Maltby was a native of
Utica, n. Y, and with her husband,
Norman Maltby, came TO this city
In 1857. She was very devoted
member of the Episcopal church.
and in every detail of her daily life
proved her claim to the title of chris
tian. Pure in heart, tender mother
and loving friend she was indeed,
worthy of all love and respect during
her life and will long be sincerely
mourned. She leaves FIVE children,
Mrs. Thornton, Mr.. Will Maltby Mr..
Arthur Maltby Miss Mary Maltby and
Mrs. Lucy Powell, of Rome New
Yoik. The remains will be sent here
for burial and the services will proba-
bly, take place from the Episcopal
church.

Vm. G.. FreeIand,

Last Sunday the BAzOo made note
of letter from w. G.. Freeland to
Mr.. Let's, one of his bilked creditors
in this city. The publication of the
letter revealed Freeland's whereabouts
to other parties, who ara very anxious
to see him, and the chances are that
Mr.. Freeland will have numerous
calls from his Sedalia friends. among
them the county sheriff. As stated,
Freeland, though not in the shop
departments, was very Jealous in
taking up the cause Of the dynamite
strikers, leaving his position and
actively engaging in tine disturbances
incident to the strike. 1t was this
activity that lost him a good position
and brought him to grief. The au-
thorlties were some time In securing
his arrest, as one of the rioters, and it
was not until after the special term of
court that they were able to come up
with him. After considerable of
buster, he gave bond, but at the late
court, true to his instinct, left his
bondsmen with the bag to hold. a
capias was issued for him, but his
whereabouts was not known until he
wrote his silly letter. If he will come
down to the sale of his property next
Monday, the sheriff will be glad to see
him, provided he brings along enough
funds to pay his fine and costs.

WAR HISTORY.
An Interesting Incident i'm the
Life OF the Late Colonel
MaGOf1in.

In connec ion with the death of
Col. Elijah Magoffin, the postal CLERK
who was killed in the collision at
Greenwood Saturday, and who was
not only well known here but had
several relatives, Mrs. L. L. Major
being cousin, the following will be
read with interest: Colontl Magoffin
removed to Independence from Saline
county six years ago, and upon the
election of President Cleveland was
appointed a clerk in the railway mail
service. He entered the confederate
army at the age of 10, and served
under General Price for several
years. At the close Of the
war he was in General Shelby's
division. In 1862 his father,
Colonel Ebenezer Magoffin was ar
rested for disobeying orders, court
martialed and condemned to death.
He was taken to Alton and lodged in
prison pending the execution of the
sentence. Colonel Magoffin and his
brother, Beriah. tunneled under
the walls of the prison and gaining
access to the interior at night, found
the keys of the prison and liberating
their father took him to St. Louis in
a skif: Later Colonel Magoffin,
ST., went to Arkansas where he was
killed by a deserter. His son aveng
ed his death by taking a squad of
mounted men and securing the
country until he found the murderer,
whom he summarily hanged.
Colonel Magoffin was nephew of
Ex-Governor Magofin, of Kentucky.
His most devoted friend was Senator
Vest, who secured him the appoint
ment of superintendent of Yellowstone
Park, but which by mistake was not
made efectual. Although an unas-
Stunning man, there was scarcely a
prominent man In the state with
whom he was not well acquaint-
ed and could claim as friend.
His wife is daughter of Mr.. George
Fackler, who has lived in California
for the last few years, but who visited
friends here and in the vicinity Of
LOngwOOd last summer for sometime,
and who is well known and esteemed
throughout the state.
The remains of Colonel Magoffin
were laid to rest, Sunday afternoon
in the city cemetery at independence
with Masonic honors. The funeral
services were held at the Christian
church at 2:30 O'Clock p. m. and were
CO.. Quoted by Elder A. f. Higgason,
who took for the text of the funeral
sermon, Il die daily" / Corinthians
XIV: 81. The chuch was filled on the
occasion of the funeral, with those
who deeply sympathized with the
wife and four children, in their be.
reavement. The funeral was indeed
a sad one.

THE MARROW GAUGE.
The Preparations for ITS Widen
ing and Extension Being
Pushed.

The announcement Of the proposed
widening Of the narrow gauge and its
extension 10 Springfield published in
the BAzoo last Saturday, seems to have
been a complete surprise TO even the rail
road projectors OF Thu city AMI reach
ed them as an unexpected piece of good
news. The announcement, however,
Is no less fact for all that, and if it
will serve TO put little of the snap
and push which have made JAY Gould
what he Is, and Is sure to keep him
where he Is, az the head and front of
the railroad interests of America,
II will serve to every
purpose aud add much to Sedalia's
future prosperity and growth. All
around SedalIa, but especially south
OF her, lies i country whose mine raj
and timber wealth is unsurpassed, if
indeed, equaled by any Other equal
extent Of territory in the world. That
such vast resources should have been
allowed to lie - long idle is mystery;
that JAY Gould should determine to
develope them when he had gained
knowledge of it, is but characteristic of
the nap, and that iii doing so he may
reap fair profit for his enterprise is
bur right, and the sincere wish Of the
Bazoo. That in doing so he tindsit nee
essary, or convenient, to make nse Of
Seda!ia as Il central point is but natur-
al and fortunate for Sedalia, and it
becomes the interest of Sedalians to
further the project and give it such
encouragement as Is necessary to it's
success. For long time it has been
one of the ambitions Of Sedalia TO Sc
cure southern connection via
Springfield. Much wind and some
money Was expended to that end, but
the mobile order succeeded in killing
the enterprise as dead as a Holland
herring and sucking it about as dry.
Now that Mr.. Gould has taken mold
of 1T, however, means that it will be a
fixed fact i'll short order, and no mat
ter how much fogies may carp
anu IdulI Huu, Tic NOTIu
will move on just as serenely. Mr..
Gould will reap his reward and doubt
less Sedalia will find this road quite as
well managed and quite as profitable
as though some one else had control of
it.
AS an earnest of the rapidity with
which this work, now necessity, will
be pushed, and as an evidence of the
quiet but business manner in which
the preparatory work has been per-
formed, it is Only necessary TO state
that the distribution of broad gauge
ties was commenced yesterday, five
car loads being scattered between War
saw and Lincoln For the past six
weeks 10 ties have been shipped off the
road and there is now at the different
stations sufficient ties to lay a broad
gauge track from Sedalia to Warsaw,
and more constantly coming in. The
Springfield Herald states that the
right of way for the road through
Springfield has been secured, and
that it is stated there that work on
the extension will begin at once.

In the above tables it will be seen that
Los Angeles leads all the State in abso-
Lutte growth excepting San Francisco;
that al the southern tier of counties are
growing ght along by her side with the
same astonishing rapidity, that no south
ern county shows any falling of, but on
the contrary each and all Of them are
increasing wonderfully. l will also be
seen that when relative growth is con-
sidered, comparing the present with six
years ago. all the southern counties lead
in the ratios in the second table. The
big neighborirg county Of San BernAr-
dino leads the whole State, while Los
Angeles Is second in this respect. San
Francisco falls to the 18th place, and
Alameda, with the big city of Oakland,
the only county outside Of San Francisco
TO be usmed in the sane day with Los
Angeles In growth il only l4th in ratio
Of growth. Both Of these take place
long after all the counties in the south
tier. Sacramento, Colusa and Others of
the counties in the Colder Californi., -
or frosty citrus belt, either are at =
practical standsiill, or have actually lost
place.
Kern, really fine county, is kept
back by the cursed water controversies
going on there for years past. The other
counties that have actually gone back
are for the most part mining counties.
This is in violent contrast to South Cali
fornia, where the mining interest has
awakened TO most vigorous existence
after Rip Van WInkle sleep of years.
Why Marin has fallen back is little
Obscure. She is dairy county, an inter-
est Of great promise and profit in Cali
fornia. 1t is probably because men like
McShaftsr own great leagues of the
land. and have rented this to the dairy
men for years. These renters have
grown rich sven at exorbitant rents, aud
now have gone to Mendocino and other
northern counties where they have tax
en- up all the good, cheap lands and set
up for themselves. Others have come
down to San Luis Obispo, Monterey. and
further south to do the same
thing. Butter and cheese are sold
much cheaper off these lands owned by
the dairymen in fee simple than they
could be of the high rents Of Marin.
Hence. Judge asShaftsr and the others
find themselves with lands thrown back
on their hands They will now be
forced to subdivids the great tracts and
sell them to settlers who will make them
profitable again. But that will be af-
ter while, when the more attractive
regions Of Southern California are all
filled up.
