BADLY BITTEN.
A Couple of Railroad Surveyor
Have an Exciting Experience
With TarantulaS.

The following from the Denisor
Gazetteer will be of interest to all
railroad men, and especially the EN-.
pIOyes of the NJ, K. & 7: While
w. r Heagler. an instrument man OF
the NJ, K. Il T. civil engineering
corps was engaged upon some work al
Red river bridge Saturday, be had
occasion to turn over a board that
cover, d couple of reference stakes.
end called uuOn Bert" line man to
help him. The beard was picked up.
when instantly there rushed out a
whole colony of young tarantulas,
which distributed themselves about
among the cross ties and the persons
of the surveyors Ike wild fire. One
ran up Heagler's coat and bit him
on the lower lip so quick that he
thought somebody had stuck knife
into him. He clapped his hand up
to the sore spot and it dropped into
hio ooat slceve and sunk on bis arm
above the elbow in a way that filed
him with eager surprise and caused
him to drop the instrument be was
holding and jump about six feet into
the air. When be came down, how
ever, be held the poisonous insect
tightly gripped in the folds of his
SHIRT sleeve, and when it was taken
out it was NO longer recogniz BILE as
tarantula, or in fact nything else.
A couple of the horrible things got
inside Berr's shirt and when be got
them dispatched and tore the shirt
open, his breast looked like ii had
been walked over by couple of red
hot branding irons. Both parties
started in hot haste for Colbert where
medical attention W, s given them and
where Bert, short time later, took
the north bound train for Sedalia.
We are not aware that Heagler has
ever been charged with having the
"big head" but he certainly was
guilty of it Sunday He had an I'M
der lip on him that looked like Still
well Fam and his right eve was sur
rounded by a profusion of distended
flesh that shut it out of sight ss well
as rendering vision impossible. He
didn't play the cornet with the Phil
harmonic orchestra last Monday, as
he would have required a mOuth-piece
about the size of saucer to admit
his lower lip.

Do You Want n Baby?

Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. Sedec, who reside
on Moniteau street, ARE the parents of a
bright three-weeks-old boy baby.
Last night a report was circulated
that MIR. Sedec had threatened to kill,
or wanted to kill the infant to get rid
oft. The report was without a par
ticle of foundation and how such
rumor happened to be started is mex
plsinable. The fact of the whole
matter is, that for good and substan-
tial reasons, the parents concluded to
allow the little fellow to be adopted
and raised by some one who would
take good care of him. The child was
given to a man and wife to bring up,
and, after they had had the infant
over one night, returned him to the
parents. That is all there is in the
stories afioat. Mr.. and Mrs. Sedec
have now decided to keep the child
themselves, unless some couple, who
are childless aud amply able to pro-
vide for the boy and raise and educate
him as their own, desire to adopt it.

further investigations carried on by
me in conjunction with DIR. c. b.

uIbre k of disease among cat lie in
several col mites in this STATE. We
find by observation and careful in

that by no possibility can
the case be identical with Euro
pean foot and mouth disease. We
are also led to believe that this disease
is not contagious, but it is due to like
causes or conditions that are now
operating quite generally through the
state. The foods, grasses, etc, may
probably be affected with some form
of fungi that is producing this trouble.
This, however, is not definitely ascer-
tanned as yet. We are united upon
the following facts:

not foot and mouth disease."

A BAD SCRAPE.
A Young Man Insults a Young
Lady and Then Deserts Her
When His Horse Runs
Away.

A very bad runaway took place
south of town last night on the old
road to Flat creek, in which Lena
Vesduky, q young girl who is en-
ployed as domestic in a family resid-
ing on West Sixth street. was very
badly bruised up. The young lady
was out riding with a boy who is very
well known in the city and an EN-.
ploye in the general Offices of the NJ,
K & I. Ry. The girl says the boy
commenced to talk bad to her and
she asked him to take her home i'm
mediately, but he refused to do so,
and for some reason or other, she did
not know why, the horse became
frightened at something and COM
menced jumping. As soon as the boy
saw that the horse was running be
jumped off the cart on which they were
riding, leaving The girl to take
care of herself the best she could. She
grabbed the reins and attempted to
stop the horse which was at that
time running at full speed, but the
cart turned over dragging her some
distance, scratching her face aud
bruising her body in several places.
The girl was brought to the city
and her wounds were dressed by DR..
E. c. Evans. This morning the
young girl is the possessor of a pair of
black eyes, ole very nearly closed,
and face that is pretty badly
scratched up.
Such actions on the part of any
young man, as are reported in this
article do not become
a gentleman in the least, and if not
tor himself, he should droop his head
in shame for respected mother and
fsther.
The horse which is the property of
Farnham, Collins IL Co., ran into a
barbwire fence and was very badly
cut in several rlaces, the harness was
broken to pieces ami the cart smashed
up generally.
