The first case for trial was No. 49,,
Abbie A. Wilson v. Joseph w. Bliss.
This was an action Of assumpsit to re-
cover on note for $3.50, signed by dos
fendand and payable to plaintiff or or
der. The defense claimed that plain
tiff and her husband, John T. Wilson,
agreed that this note might be offset
against note for $3.50 which the said
John 4. had given 10 Bliss. Two an
guments were put in Tuesday after
noon. Farnham and Smith for plain
tiff, Watson and Harvey for defend
ant.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. -.
The remaining arguments in No. 79
are put in this morning.
No. 70 was finished this morning
and given to the jury, who returned a
verdict for the defendant to recover
his costs. Farnham and Smith for the
plaintiff, Watson and Harvey for the
defendant.
No. SO. G. L. Stewart apt. v. Dana
L. MOI Sc was the next jury case for
trial. This was an action of assump-
sit to recover for the services of the
plaintiff, who is physician at West
Randolph for dressing the wound of
young Davis who was killed more than
a year ago by Cassius Morse the insane
son Of the defendant, and also for
making the necessary affidavit to send
young Morse to the Insane Asylum and
the certificate of the cause of death of
Davis so that his remains could be tax
en- on the cars. For all of which the
doctor charged 800. The defense was
that the defendant did not employ the
defendant. Two arguments are made
this afternoon. Nichols and Denison
for the plaintiff, Boyden and Harvey
for the defendant.
At the present time only three other
cases stand for trial by jury and they
are rather doubtful. 1t looks like
very short term.
The cases No. 116 G. G. Baglev v.
John Hartwell, apt. and No. III Eli
jah Clough v. John Hartwell, apt. are
settled, Dickey for plaintiff and Peck
EFT for defendant.

A Race War Pearea-Ten or
Twelve Men Killed and
Wounded.

WEST PetNF. Miss, Dec. is
News has just reached here of a
riot which took place Mt Wahalak,
Sunday. Il white constable under
took to arrest u darkey for beating
u boy, when the darkey refused,
to BIZ taken. The officer organized
a posse and in the evening went
after the colored man. The posse
consisted Of twelve men, and they
at once started for the negro's
house, located about three miles
from Wahalak. In the meantime
the negro had called upon many of
his friends To come to his assis-
lance, and had fortified himself in
his log hut, with some 80 or 40 of
his own color to help him. When
the Sheritt's posse approached
within gunshot of the house the
negroes opened fire upon them
with the most disastrous result, rs
10 out of II of the white men were
either killed or wounded.
Information was obtained from
the operator at Wahalak that three
dead bodies have been brought to
town. This atTray occurred late
Sunday evening, and news of it was
not distributed until yesterday
afternoon.

Saved by a Mere Accident.

SEDAL1A, Mo-, December IL
To-day an innocent looking country
girl arrived from Boonville and
asked Depot Master Carnes If he
could direct her to the residence of
Miss Jessie Browning. Carnes
asked the girl if she knew the rep
utation of the house and the char
acter of the Browning woman, and
the girl replied that she was a
stranger in the city, had no ac-
auaintance with Miss Browning
and had been engaged by a strange
woman at Boenville Saturday to
come to Sedalia and do plain sew
ing at s12 per week. Carnes in
formed the girl of the vile character
of the Browning place and she re-
turned to Boonville on the evening
train. The police are investigating
the case and hopes are entertained
that the procuress will be arrested
and severely punished.

IT Is becoming evident that the

are more schemes for spending it
than were ever known before, leav-

THE stories of eviction near Wat
erloo, Ia, are as sad as anything in
Irish history. These Polanders
paid for the houses they lived in,
and have raised the value of the
property from poverty to very high
money. 1t is shameful that the
law, which led them into their
difficulty, cannot provide away to
reimburse them for their great
losses.
