and the show went on.
The stock of boots and shoes handled
by KeeZel s. Dimm has been levied up
ON by executions in the hands of Sher-
if Worster, WHO has closed the store.
The cause seems to be that the firm
failed to pay eastern dealers, who then
obtained executions. II is not known
yet what will be done with the stock.
The district court has been engaged
all day with the case against Geo. w.
Kidd, charged with obtaining money
under false preteDses. About eigh-
teen months ago he got loan of 81 200
from w. j. Jones of this city, or ''Bil-
ly" Jones, as every body knows him, by
furnishing mortgage on some land in
Greenwood county, which Kidd did
not own. He also presented himself
at the time under false name, call
ing himself Albert T. Slade. Albert
was pretty slick, and came it over
''Billy" in a way that would make a
Chinaman turn pale with envy. He
lived at Eureka, and keeping the in
terest paid up promptly, Mr.. Jones
did not know for year or so that the
loan was crooked. When he at last
learned the facts he reached for the
slick brother. but he was gone. A dill
igent search by Sheriff Worsrer was re-
w0rded six weeks ago by nabbing the
gentleman in a postoffice in South
western Missouri, when he called for
his mail. 1t is said that Kidd is no
novice in the business of raising the
wind by hypothecating other peoples
land, and that he did a similar thing in
Greenwood before trying it on in this
county.
