A ella Monster.

Under the above heading yesterday
81. Lruis POst-Dispatch contains the
following article which indicates that
the P.-D. also possesses reportorial
staff which for "snaik larnin'" is only
surpassed by that of the Globe.DemO-
GRAFT and one or two other hair-raising,
bung-starting publications in the un-
dOmesticated and hirsute west:
"Mr. Harry Hayward to-day presented
to the Fair Grounds gila monster, which
Mr.. Lon Hirschberg had sent in TO MIN
from Fort Thomas, Ariz., with request
that il be given to the geological gardens.
These reptiles, which are very rare even
out IN that country, are extremely poison
Gus. The specimen sent in by Mr.. Hirsch-
berg was caught by q negro cattleman and
is one OF the largest in captivity. The gila
monster attacks horses and cattle and kills
them"
The reporter was evidently not "on
to" the fact that when the gila monster
blew its breath in a mans face he went
off and kicked the bucket. He was
probably Aew man from Pike county
and wasn't "oD TO" all the variations.

A VILLAIN CAUGHT.
The AsSailant of Miss Nevada
DeakinS i'm the Clutches of
the Law.

Yesterdays BAZoo contained an
item tn the effect that Sheriff Fulks
and Marshal Garrett of California,
Mo. passed through Sedalia Yesterday
morning en- route to WaverIy, where
a man had been arrested who. IL was
thought was the villainous assailant
of Miss Nevad. Deakins, near Califor-
MA one day last week. The officers
got their man ut Waverly but re-
turned to California BY way of B ,on-
vile and Upton instead Of coming back
on the branch road. A, Boonville
upon the return Of the officers with
their prisoner, a reporter Cleaned the
following facts, which seem to leave
no doubt but that they have the
right man. The BoouviIle report,
sent in last night, says that about a
week ago the citizens Of Moniteau and
Cooper counties were startled by a re-
port that some tramp had assaulted
one of Moniteau county's most re
spectacle young ladies. The brute
had stopped Miss Nevada Deakin's
horse, upon which she was riding, in
an obscure place upon the highway,
pulled her from the saddle, and after
the young lady was exhausted he ac-
cOmplished his purpose.
Scores of citizens, upon hearing of
the occurrence, started Immediately
in pursuit of the villain.
UNTIL To-Day no definite clue was
found. Sheriff Fulks of Moniteau
county passed through here this eve
ming with man, taking him to Cali
FORMS. The prisoner refused to tax.
He was arrested at Waverly, Mo.
upon the description sent out on postal
cards by the youhg lsdy's father. He
answers the decription in every partic-
ular excepting his mustache. He
stOutly refuses to talk to anyone since
his arrest about the crime.
He is a typical tramp and admitted
that he came through Moniteau Coun-
ty last week. 1t is believed that there
will ne trouble in preventing a mob
from iynehing him when he reaches
California.

forego the conventional wedding tour.

ALL ABOUT A cow.
Three COlOred HOOdlums I'm the
Soup for Resisting an
Officer.

Cow policeman Louis Crockett found
a cow ON lhe commons on the North
Side yesterday and drove her to the
pound. On the road he was beset BY
two colored youths who tried to get
the beast away from him. Arriving
at the pound, the two boys, named
Albert and Lewis Ellis, were arrested
by City Marshal Prentice for resisting
an officer. In the recorders court
this morning Lewis Ellis plead guilty,
but Albert stood upon his rights. He
had another coon named Taylor Will
liams in court ready to swear him out
bnt somehow or other Taylor
was shown TO be one of
the gang himself aud was ordered
under arrest. The evidence showed
that the three boys had cursed and
abused the officer and had tried to
take the cow away from him. Re-
corder Brady fined the three prison
ers IS each. and they will break rock
for few days.
City Attorney Hoffman says he is
determined to enforce the cow ordin-
ance if it takes all summer.
