TODD TOOK EN- in.
A Pretended Wealthy English
mans Fine Game Played on
PettiS County Farmers.

About the middle of July, an Eng
lishman, apparently over forty years
of age, put in an appearance at the
real estate office of J. NJ. Byler, of
this city, saying that he wanted to
purchase a farm of about 120 acres.
He gave bis name as Joseph Todd,
and his residence London, England.
He pretended that he had with him
$40, 900, and that he had in England
plenty more, and brother who was
millionaire.
When a fellow shows up in Sedalia
with that sized pile, and says he
wants to invest it In farms, he is quite
likely to run across some one to ac-
commodate him. In this case Todd
had no difficulty in interesting sever
al real estate men and a number of
farmers, who desired to sell their
farms. He was taken hither and thith-
er in buggies and carriages, fed on the
best of the land and daily sat down to
a dinner fit for the gods.
He made his headquarters with
James and Nathan Pine, who occupy
the VIM. Lowry farm, two miles and
a half northeast Of Hughesville. The
boys toasted and feted him, and rode
him around for months or more. He
seemed hard to sui, in the way OF a
farm, and from the modest 12O acre
farm first inquired for, he aspired
to broad domain and finally settled
upon buying the farm of MeNinch
brothers. This il a very fine farm and
the Englishman agreed TO pay the
usual sum of 1000, for it. Time
passed. according to a way it has, and
Todd delayed the consumation Of the
trade, by one excuse and another I'M
til yesterday, when he owned up
that he had no money, and that the
millionaire brother was myth. To
say that the McNinch brothers, and
the Pine boys, and j. NJ. Byler, and
several Others were disguised, would
be putting it mild. The Pine broth
ers are out about 800 for board and
other etceteras. Byler is out trip
and day showing farms, and out Of
humor that the trade "was so near
and yet so far" The McNinch boys
are mad and will probably..make it red
hot for the next "blarsted bloody
bOoger of an Englishman" that goes
! fooling around their farm.

A Collision.

A collision occurred yesterday at
the tank on the K. 81 A. branch OF
the Missouri Pacific, half a mile from
Holden, between freight east bound
and an engine which was taking wa
ter at the tank. Two cars were
wrecked and the engines somewhat
used up but the damage was slight.
Will Hoffman of Sedalia who was on
the caboose had his finger somewhat
cut by the shock but beyond this no
one was hurt.

Dumpville is not very big place,
but like all other places in central
Missouri, it is loud. Dumpville has
base ball club; it is loud, too, and
the way it has made record the past
season among the neighboring rival

they are champions. They have laid
out everything they have tackled,
and yesterday they wiped up the
Cole Camp team, with a score of "a

A Very Narrow Escape.

An item comes to the lSTER-OCEAN
which is not very now in the vicinity of
its occurrence, but there are strange
features about il which make it none tho
less interesting. About three weeks ago
party of hunters stopped at the well of
T.. Seward. in Poplar Grove town, to get
water, and left the bucket up and the
top open. The little thrco-ycar-old bov
Of MIR. and Mrs. Seward, knowing that
the bucket should be down and the we'll
closed, undertook to perform the task.
Losing his balance the little fellow went
head first into the well, which is ~ feet
deep. The mother being informed of
the situation rushed to the well to see
her child sink beneath the surface. He
was soon up again, and the mother cried
out to him to grasp the rope. He did so
and held on to it until the father, who
was at work halfa mile away, came to
his rescue. Mr.. Seward went down tho
rough stone walls, and tax ing the child
in his arms brought him to the surface.
The first thing the little fellow said was,
"Pa, got my coat wet He was not
injured Il particle.

A Little Off.

Speaking of the recent decision con-
cernlng our homestead entry cancella-
ton, the Cando Tribune says: "The
secretary is certainly a "ittle Off IN this
matter. At the time the entry was made,
and for some time subsequently, the
delivery of the Office extended for ten
to fifteen miles beyond the claim, al
though there were perhaps one or two
Offices. supplied by semi-weekly mails,
in the neighborhood. Down in the
states, ten or twelve miles might seem
some distance to travel to ones business
in the morning; but in this country Of
"magnifcent distances and sparse
population, it is about the measure of a
neighborly call.
