A Queer Case.

~ ANS" AOAN
The courts of Tiflis, Russia, have
a queer case before them in the
suit of a man to recover $165 from
a professional assassin. He had
hired the assassin to kill an enemy,
paying him S75 down and promis-
ing SIS more when the job was
done. The assassin was to bring
oIe of the murdered mans ears as
a proof of the death. He did so,
and received s75, with ar addition
al SIS as a tip. A few days after.
ward the man met his enemy alive
and with both ears intact. On in
vestigation he discovered that the
assassin had received 800 from
the intended victim to deceive his
employer by showing him a dead
pauper's ear.

FOR RECORDER.
e. III. Bruce is Well Qualified for
the Office, as is Shown
Below.

To the Voters of Audrain County:
AS you are aware that c. II.
Bruce is a candidate for Recorder
Of Deeds, and having heard it hint
ed hat he is not competent to fill
said Office, l will say, al one who
knows, tlis is all a mistake. He
is a very fair scholar, and writes a
very nice, plain hand. l have
been acquainted with Mr.. Bruce
ever since his father moved to the
county. Charles was quite a small
boy at the time. When the war
broke out, the old gentleman, being
an old Virginian, espoused the
Southern side and he and four of
his boys responded to old Pap
Prices call for help, but when that
memorable battle of Pea Ridge
came off the Bruce boys Jared
roughly. William was killed dead
on the field. Charles lost an arm.
Everett was severely wounded, but
recovered. TIE old gentleman,
having a large family, was not
able to send them to college, SO
their education was limited, but
| when Charles returned from the
army his uncle, Champ, sent him
to school until he obtained a very
fair education. Being raised on a
farm he went back to farming, and
has been farming ever since. 1 will
say 1 have known Mr.. Bruce ever
since the year 1858, and he is much
of a gentleman and if the Democ-
racy sees fit to give him the place
they will not regret it.
Yours, etc.,
