REMINISCENT OF REDNOND.
w. W. McNulty Relates o Story
of John M0rgan's Raid.

"Aboat a year ago while down in
Oklahoma" remarked w. W. Nc.
NuIty to q BALoo representative yes.
terday afternoon, 81 received a letter
from my wife in which she stated,
among other things, that an old friend
and chum of mine had called at my
residence in Sedalia and that he gave
his name as John t. Redmond. Upon
my return soon afterward, / had the
pleasure of meeting and renew
ing my acquaintance with him,
and We have had many a talk Of
old times together since then"
Colonel Redmond is popular and
genial gentleman, and is now employ
ed as claim agent in the NJ. X. Il T.,
freight department.
Everybody who has reld the hiss
tory of the late civil war, will readily
remember General John Morgan's
famous but i'll fated raid into Ohio in
the fall of 1853. Well. Col Redmond
ana L had q thrilling experience on
that mOmentous occasion particularly
Redmond. He was engineer of an
express train which left Morrow, in
that state, at five o'clock on
q certain memorable morning, bound
for Cincinnati, thirty-fve miles away.
The train was composed of several
coaches filed with passengers, and
baggage and express cars. Morgan
and his men were on the outlook for
this particular train, expecting to
make big haul of treasure from it..
An hour after leaving Morrow Engi.
neer Redmond saw some one ahead
flag him, and knowing that the great
Rebel raider and his rough riders
were in the Deighborhood,
he suspected the ruse and pulled the
throttle wide open. He and his fire
man then lodged down in the cab
just in time TO escape a shower of
bullets from either side of the track.
A moment later, a rail haviog been
removed, the whole train plunged
into the adjoining meadow. The en-
CINE was overturned, the brave
engineer was buried beneath il
and the faithful fireman
was cut squarely in two. The Rebels
then approached the train, took out
the wounded engineer and dead fire.
man and burned every car. Morgan
and Redmond were old acquaintance
and the general burned to him, made
himself known, passed a few words
and then had him removed to a house
near by, where he was we'll cared
for"
"But for an order OBTAINING my
accommodation train that same
morning" said Mr.. McNulty, who wa.
the engineer, 81 ehould have faller
into the hands of the famous Kentucky
raider, who, a few days later, wai
himself captured in Ohio and confined
for a while in the state penitentiary
from which he and q number OF hi.
comrades made their celebrated
escape"

BOWERS WILL CONTEST.
Sheriff Smith Returns From
Kansas City-Seen Bya
BazOo Representative.

Friday afternoon at ) o'clock,
notice to the effect that Jos, A.
Bowers, the democratic candidate in
the last election for sheriff of Pettis
county, would contest the election of
the present incumbent of the office,
was posted In the circuit clerks office
Two attempts were made on that
afternoon to serve the notice on some
member of Sheriff Smiths family over
the age of Is years. but the attempts
were not successful, as Mr.. Smith had
left the day previous for western
Kansas where he was going to attend
to some business. and Mrs. Smith on
that afternoon was visiting with some
friends, and the last resort to make
a legal service was 10 post the notice
in the circuit clerks Office which was
done by Coroner Meuhl as stated
above.
The petition is quite lengthy and
among other things alleges that 400
votes were fraudulently cast for
Smith. 1t also alleges that errors
were made in the footing of the diff
erent tally sheets, and wound up by
saying that on these grounds the
contest will be presented and urged in
the January term of court Of Pettis
county.
Sheriff Smith was in Kansas City
Friday and a telephone mes
sage was sent advising him Of what
had been done, and advised him to
return at once. In consequence
thereof he returned home on the
noon train yesterday. Shortly after
the arrival of the train he was found
in his Office in the court house and
when questioned about the contest
did not appear to be very much
worked up over it. He displayed his
certificate of election which was dated
Nov. 9TH. but had nothing TO say as
to the course he would take, from his
actions which undoubtedly speak
louder than words in case of this
kind, one would think he had the
best of the bargain.
Mr.. Smith stated that he had re-
served Messrs. Sangree d Lamm and
w. s. Shirk as his council but at that
time he had not seen them.
The law requires that notice be
given the contestee in person twenty
DAYS after the official count of the
ballots has been made that his cleo ion
will be contested.
The official returns of the elections
were given to the newspapers as being
made OIL the 9th and the sheriff's
commission was dated on the 9TH and
unless Thanksgiving, which is a holi-
day, is not counted the service of the
notice is not legal. A prom
inent Sedslia attorney in conversa.
ton with a BAzoo representative
said "I do not see how that ser.
vice can be legal unless the official
count was made on the Sth. which is
one day after his certificate of election
was made out. The law regarding
holidays only specifies that notes can
not be protested nor drafts accepted,
but it does not consider Thanksgiving
as it would Sunday because writs can
be issued and judgements can be
taken on Thanksgiving, consequently
in my mind there is no reason why
Thanksgiving can not be counted in
the twenty days.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOOLS.
What Duties are Required of It-other
Meetings.

meeting OF the Committee on Schools
was held last evening. A discussion AROSE
n as TO the duties OF the committee. Mr.
Crenshaw said that all he could see that the
committee was required to do was TO re-
commend the payment OF claims from the
Mechanics Institute.
Mr. Cary said that If a new school build.
ing was proposed the committee would have
10 look into IL; that there was matters con.
stantly arising that needed the attention OF
the Committee on Schools.
Mr.. Guigon said that he thought the COM
mittee should only meet at the call of the
chairman.
Colonel Cary brought up the matter that
the law provides that three members OF the
Council shall be members of the School
Board; that the present school Board con-
tains four members. Mr.. Turpin was "A
member OF the Board before he was elected
10 the Council. thus making -four member .
Mir. Christian, speaking in reference o.
the bills Of the Mechanics Institute, said
that when the ordinance was passed re-
curing the School Committee 10 pay the
bills, II was the object of the Council 10
have the money properly spent; that at the
present time the Institute was on solid
basis, and the yearly appropriation should
be turned over 10 the officers Of the Insti-
tute, and for them TO spend IL as they see
nj, just as IL Is done With the military and
other organizations.
MIR. Guigon stated that he could see no rea-
son for making the committee meet every
month just 70 pay the bills; that the officers
OF the Institute made the debts, and the
committee could do nothing else but order
the bills 10 be paid.
Mr.. Carter read from the Code Ok Viz
GINA, section 1927, that the members OF the
Council on a school board shall not exceed
one-third OF the entire board. There are
nine members Of the School Board, oonse-
quently there Is on the Board one member
more than IL allowed by law. The four
