Miss Ridenour belongs to a highly
respectable family of Green Ridge,
and is rather pretty, being a pro-
nounced brunette.
The latest developments in the case
are that Officer Mooney returned the
money to Glasburn and further legal
proceedings were stopped.
1t also transpires that cousin of
Miss Ridenour was in town yesterday
en- the track of GIasburn and threat
ened to make him marry the girl.
Glasburn's mother was with him in
Sedalia yesterday, and while
the Green Ridge parties are reputed
to be quite respec able, there seems
TO be a mysteiy surrounding the rela-
lions between the young couple. That
they are not doing just the proper
thing is pretty plain. Their actions
in Sedalia were decidedly peculiar,
aud the fact of an irate relative of the
girl being ON the war path, goes to
show beyond a reasonable doubt tina;
there is something rotten in the land
of Denmark.

BLOOD AT BEAMAN.
But no Guns Used and the Soap
Man Still Survives.

Yesterday afternoon rumors were
rife on the streets of Sedalia that there
had been dreadful tragedy enacted
at Beaman, six miles north of here.
The report was that a man named
Harry Bunce, who sang and played
with soap concert companyin Soda
liza some months ago, had attempted
to shoot Constable Louis Lee, but
that the latter had knocked up the
gun, and had slain the soap artist
on the spot. A great
deal of excitement was created by
the rumor. 1t seemed to be reliable
and the police and reporters were
using their utmost energies and skill
to run down the news. A BAZoO
representative had even gone so far as
to select head for the CORY article.
Blood at Beaman. The item, how.
ever was as tricky and delusive as a
sprite in one of Shakespeare's plays or
an Irishman's flee. At length it
turned out that two farmers named
Lee and Bunce. residing in
tho Beaman neighborhood, had gone
out hunting on Christmas day, and
BUnce had fallen on a rock and cut
his head rather severely. This was
the sum and substlncs of bloody
tragedy that happened only in the
imagination of soma able.bodied
Beaman liar.

that of = negro woman eighty years

Rifles entertainment December 80.
The police are now engaged in selling
tickets, and the BAzoo would urge

The good story is told of an excellent

where his daughters and some young

from what he overheard. that they were
making too free with TIE characters OF

had departed. he gave his children a
lecture on the sinfulDess of scandal
They answered: But rather, what
shall we talk about? We must talk
of something " If YOU can
do nothing else" replied he,

will at least be innocent diversion. \
short time afterward an association OF
ministers met at his house, and during
the evening some discussions on points
of doctrine were earnest, and thelI
voices were go loud as to indicate the
danger of losing their Christian temper
when his eldest daughter, overhearine
them. procured pumpkin, and enter.

said: "There father, roll it about, rol
