MISSING MOXLEY.
The Termination of One of Sc.
dallas Most Astounding
Sensations.
Mrs. Mamie MOxley Asks to be
Divorced From Her Worth
less Husband,
Who Stands Charged With the
Double Crime of Murder
and Bigamy.

MIS-. Nduuie -hOAlc1, DcLleT knOWQ
to her many friends in Sedalia as Miss
Mamie King, has instituted a suit in
the circuit court of St. Louis to OBJ
tain divorce from Kendick p. Mox.
lev, whom she married in 1881 at her
home in Chamois.
AT the time of the marriage Mox.
lev was in the employ of the agent for
the Missouri Pacific company at Cha
mois. He subsequently removed to
this city, where he secured a clerical
position in the freight office. Their
married life was of the happiest, but
in February, 1882, Moxley was ar
rested here by officers from Ken
lucky, charged with having commit
ted murder in the Blue Grass state
seventeen years previous to their mar
riage.
On being taken in custody Monkey
was placed in the calaboose by Robert
j. Shy, then marshal of Sedalia, and
the devotion of the agonized wife to
her unfortunate husband was some
thing remarkable.
While only a girl in her teens, and
without the least experience in the
ways of the world, Mrs. Monkey in
sisted on occupying the prisoners
cell, and her request was finally
granted. Though Inundated and
broken hearted over her husbands
incarceration, she never gave way to
despair, and her devotion won for her
the sympathy of all who were cog
infant of. the facts in the case.
Monkey was finally taken back to
Kentucky, where he managed to es-
cape from the officers, and it was sub
sequently learned that he was
also guilty of bigamy, as he
had a wife living at the time of his
marriage with Miss King.
After his escape, wife No. 2 never
heard from or of him, and as she did
not care to return to her home in
Chamois, where her marriage was
contaminated, she secured employ
ment as type setter in the BAzoo
news room. She remained in this of
flee off and on until two years ago
last spring, when she went to st.
Louis and secured employment in the
Post-Dispatch news room, where she
at present is. There can be no ques-
ton about her being entitled to a di-
vorce, and a decree will undoubtedly
be granted her as soon as the law per-
mits.

Broke His Leg.

Thomas Sturgess, the 14-year-old
son of Mrs. G. A. Sturgess, residing
on Fifth street and Grand avenue,
while playing with some comrades at
the fair grounds yesterday, jumped
from the judges stand to the ground,
breaking the large bone of the left
leg, between the ankle and the knee
Joint. At the time the Sedalia base
ball club were practicing on the
grounds, and DR.. Hunlock was pres

to the young mans assistance, and
finding him seriously injured, had him
removed to his home, where, with the
assistance of DR.. Abel, the limb was
reset, and at last accounts the unfort-
innate boy was resting as well as could
be expected under the circumstances.
The accident caused the boys to close
their exercise game at once.

RIPE FOR THE ROPE.
An Unknown Negro Commits @
Criminal Assault on a Mar.
ried Woman.
The Crime Was Witnessed by a
Little Daughter of the Ag-
OniZed Victim.

From a gentleman who arrived
from California, Mo-, yesterday after.
noon, the BAzoo learns partial par.
ticulars of terrible crime committed
three miles north of that place Thurs.
day afternoon, the victim being Mrs.
Jobe, the wife of a well-to do farmer.
In company with little daughter,
Mrs. Jobe was attending to some work
out of doors, when an unknown ne
gro appeared and assaulted her in a
most brutal manner. Despite her
cries, he threw her to the ground, and
finally succeeded in accomplishing his
purpose.
The little daughter, as soon as her
mother was attacked, ran to the resi-
dence of their nearest neighbor, sew
eral hundred yards distant, and gave
the alarm, when assistance promptly
responded, but too late, as the negro
had made his escape.
As a matter of course, the news
spread with rapidity, and before night
fall the county was being secured in
every direction The excitement was
intense, and had the negro been cap
tured he would undoubtedly have
been swung from limb of tie near
est tree. Night came on, though, and
he thus managed to elude his pursuers
and is still at liberty.

If Ed. Miller, of the JEFF City club, did

If the Jefferson City Tribune has not
an elegant dish of crow to partake OF in
consequence of yesterdays ball game'
Why the JEFF Cities failed to mop up
the earth with the Sedalia boys, as promis-
ed, when they had their own rank umpire?
If "Dixie" Smith wasn't red hot yes
terday when he threw aside his mask and,
addressing JEFF Cityite, said he'd "be
id if he would stand it any longer ?"
Why a number of persons imagined
that City Marshal Smith, of Pilot Grove,
was in search of runaway girl, simply
because they noticed him calling at Mrs.
Dougherty's several times yesterday?
