SroLEN OF CoURsE.--On Wednesday of
last week rather seedy looking party
offered for sale in this town several ar
ticles of clothing, among the lot very
fine overcoat. Elias W. Heilbrun, a
sheeny clothing drummer from Cincin-
natl quickly traded for the coat, pay
ing four dollars-the garment was
worth six or eight times that amount.
Other articles were purchased by some
of our citizens. That evening Heilbrun
started east, and on the same train
was the man who had sold the coat.
The movements of one or both parties
seem to have been observed, judging
from the following account of the mat
ter which appeared in Neosho paper,
and tells from whence came the clothing
"0n Sunday night last, the mere hant
tailoring establishment Of ID. d. Bry-
ant, west side Of square was broken in
to through a back window aud nine
pieces of piece goods, one fine oyercoat,
one fine suit of clothes, and two pair Of
pants taken; value in all about $500.
On Wednesday MIR. Bryant got tele-
gram from Vinita stating that a strang-
or had sold an oyercoat TO jew drum
mer for four dollars, at that place, and
that the drummer would come up on
the evening train. Mr.. Bryant, his
son, the marshal and MIR. Doerr went
over to the train and found the drum
mer, Elias w. Heilbrun, with tho over
coat on. lie demurred strongly to Civ
ing up the coat unless he was paid his
four dollars, and said that he would
show the man that he bought the coat
of; that he was on the train. He com
menced 20 rush around on the train TO
see the man, and finally pointed TO the
man who was pulling OIL up the track
at a good rate, and exclaimed, ,"there he
goes" The marshal and Eugene pursued

WHAT RICHARDSON SAYs.-That vail
ant executor Of the United States laws
who cut such a wide, deep and long
cash in matters and things around this
town on Christmas day, was here
again last week. Richardson is his
name and judging from the tenor Of
his remarks, and statements made,
this name has, in days gone by, been
holy-terror to the law-breakers on
Texas frontier, where its owner was the
rangiest kind OF a ranger. This party,
on his recent trip, took occasion to pro-
mulgate some very queer doctrine--do-
cidedly queer to come from a deputy
marshal. Judge Parker, Of Fort smith,
has either inaugurated radical change
in his construction and rulings on the
whisky law, or else his deputy marshal
is both liar and tool. Mr.. Richard
son stated in the hearing Of the report
that to introduce a gallon of whisky
for ones own use was mot a case. :"
Also, that to sell three half pints of
whisky was mot a case" That "to
make case it must be shown that a
quart or upwards had been sold, and
in addition it must be shown that the
party had previously been known as a
whisky seller" While these were the
declarations Of deputy United States
marshal of the Fort Smith court, we
advise our friends not to place too much
reliance. in them. A man in the posi-
tion who would make such statements
deserves prompt discharge and If he
had an idea anyone here could be de-
ceived by him he deserves admission to
the asylum FOR imbecils.
