Associated Press.
Denver, Colo, Feb. 21.-The
crime of burglary was the ofense for
which Charles @. Lockwood was ar
raigned for trial before Judge Allen
tnis morning. Lockwood is accused
of having burglarized A. Littleton's
store ON September 80, taking a guam
tity of tobacco and jewelry amOnnt-
ing to $500. Lockwood has wife in
Johustown, Ohio, but he nevertheless
paid court to Miss Anna Cahill in Sc
dalia, Missouri. He fell into a trap
when he presented his best girl with
portion of the jewelry stolen in Col
orado. Detective Howe, of Denver,
finally traced Lockwood to Sedalia,
and telegraphed the marshal of Soda
liza to arrest the man. The request
wss refused, because the girl Lock
wood was counting was the marshal's
sister-in-law, and Lockwood getting
wind of the fact that he was wanted in
Denver, fled to Adair, |. L. He was
traced from there to Columb is, Ohio,
having previously shipped the jewelry
there TO DR.. Thrall, with instruction
to forward to him at Taylor, Texas,
snder the name of Harry Ladd.
Here Lockwood was arrested and
brought to Denver by Detective
Howe, and the jewelry was recovered
at Columbus. The prisoner claims
that he bought the jewelry of two
men at Bitches garden here for s25.

Restored hts stock.

Sheriff Ellis r. Smith received a
telegram early this morning from H.

farm, belonging to Mrs. VIII EstilI,
about seven miles north of this city
was burned TO the ground last night,
and all the household furniture, with
the exception of the organ and a small
portion Of the bedding, was destroyed.
Mrs. Ferguson had gone to a neigh
boris for a visit and in the evening
when Mr.. Ferguson came home he
made up a fire so that the house
might be thoroughly warm by
the time his wife reached home. He
then started after her, but had only
gone short distance when his atten.
ton was called to a fire which proved
to be his own residence and which by
the time he was able to reach was be-
yond extinguishment. Mrs. Fer,
guson in addition to losing all her
clothes, lost some valuable peices Of
jewelry one of them being handsome
gold watch which had been presented
to her when she graduated. There
was small insurance on the furni-
ture, but it is not known at the
present time whether the house was
insured or not. Mr.. and Mrs. Fer.
guson are at present stopping with
relatives in this city.

NAY CHANGE THEN.
The Effect of President En0s'
Death on NJ, IL. L. Il. Plans.

The Fansas City Times of to-day
contains the following relative to the
removal of the general offices from this
city to Parsons:
at Is expected that the death OF
President Enos OF the Missouri, Kan
sas d. Texas road, will have the effect
of changing several of Ina. company S
plans. For instance, it is said that
the general Offices of the road will not
be removed from Sedalia, Mo-, TO
Parsons, Kan. If they ere moved at
all they will in all probability be
brought to Kansas City.
President Euos represented the
Holland bondholders of the company,
who had a controlling voice in tie
management of the removal at the
Offices to Parsons from a business
standpoint. He was NV 70 K
banker, though, and conld hardly
have been expected 10 he thoroughly
familiar with the western situation
Along the piece Of road from Pa2ia
TO Coffeyville, Kan, tina: the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas Company

cradle amount of property,
Mr.. EnOs thought that 1t would
enchance the value of this lan,i
if the general offices were established
at Parsons, that point being about in
the center of the company's interests.
The citizens at parsons have voled
$50, 900 worth Of bonds toward tire
erection Of 100000 building for the
"Katy" company, but it is said that
this hes all been done in vain. The
officials who will probably conduct the
affairs of the company in the future
are inclined to the opinion that II
would be q bad stroke of policy to
bury the headquarters of the road
UP at Parsons, and in addition
to this it would be one of the
most inconyenieut selections
that could be msde. The head traffic
officials have to be in Chicago, Kansas
City or st. Louis great deal Of their
time ami they wOnld have to wake up
in the middle of the night to get q

week aud il is said he will probably

of course the Holland stockholders
will have the say about this"

OUR NEW ROAD.

John E. Phelps, of Springfield,
No.. was at the Lindell hotel, st.
Louis last evening. To a reporter for
the Globe-Democrat, be said: eve
are all interested in a new railroa
which is to be built between Sedalia
and Springfield. We have raised
several thousand dollars in our town
to assist in completing the surveys,
etc., and understand that work has
already commenced on the right of
way. All the towns through which
the new road will pass are raising sub
scriptions for it, and probably enough
will be raised to insure its success. 1t
will greatly increase the facilities for
shipping the products Of Springfield
and vicinity to the markets in the
larger cities, and the merchants and
business men look forward to its COM
pletion with the greatest p ssible in
terest."

LIEUTENANT L. Ii. FULLER.
A Member Of the Famous { eyeUth
Cavalry Visiting in Sedalia.

Seated in the rotunda al Sichers'
hotel this morning, reading the
GlObe-Democrat, was an officer OF the
famous Seventh Cavalry, u. S. A.
The officer was Lieutenant +. b.
Fuller, brother OF Sam Fuller, a well
known Sedsl al.
The lieutenant had just returned
from St. Louis, where he bad been to
attend the Sherman ceremonies. Be
ing regimental quartermaster, it be-
came his duty 10 see to the transpOr-
ting of bis regiment out of the city,
and this delayed him day.
81 stopped of in Sedalia to-day to
visit my relatives, not having been
here for abyut two years" Said tie
officer.
You were in the late Indian cam
paign, w;re you no, lieutenant ?"
asked The BAZoO representative.
Eyes, sir; but you may think it
little strange when tell you that |
was the only cfficer in my command
who did not par icipate in the bloody
battle of Wounded Knee creek. The
reason was that | was regimeDtal
quartermas,er, and was left some dis
lance In the rear to look after The
trains.
Captain Wallace, who met an un-
timely but heroic death, was an inli-
mate friend of mine and | assisted in
putting him into his coffin. Among
the many various reports concerning
the manner of his death, that con-
tanned in the Chicago Inter-Ocean was
the only correct one.
at has been stated that Wallace
WIS killed by a war club Ia the hands
of an Indian, but this is not true.
There was bruise across bis forehead,
which led to this belief, but when it
was washed and examined it was found
to have been caused by a grazing bullet.
wallace was standing at the door
offs tepee which he had just searched,
when be was killed. He had
three gun-shot wounds, one in the leg,
one In the abdomen and one through
the heart.
Lieutenant Casey, who was treach-
erously killed short time atterward,
by a Sioux scout had been dear
friend of mine for many years and we
were not only classmates at West
Point, but had seen much service to-
gether in the Northwest.
casey had command of a troop
of indian scouts and
was an excellent officer, but daring
and sometimes reckless. The day he
was killed one of his scouts, a
Brule Sioux. came TO me with mes
sage about the feeding of some stock.
/ sat down. wrote a brief note of re-
ply and forwarded it to Casey, but by
the time the courier would have de-
livered it, the brave lieutenant was
dead, having been shot an hour pre-
yiously.
The Seventh Cavalry is now quar-
tered at Fort Riley. The Indians are
still very much dissatisfied and it
would not greatly surprise me
were hostilities to open again
in the spring. American Horse is, in
my opinion, the leading Sioux chief
since Sitting Bulls death"
Lieut.. Fuller was in the volunteer
service from 1864 to 1869. He then
went from Rockford, ILL.,, to West
Point and graduated there in 1873.
He has wife and four children eft
Fort Riley; has experienced great
deal of hard army service is proud
of the great record his regiment has
made, and is modest and most en-
tertaining gentleman.

The following beautiful extract is
taken from the farewell address of the
Rev. Cyrus T. Brady, the new rector
of Calvary Episcopal church in Sc
dalia, delivered upon the occasion of
his recent departure from Crete, Ne
braska:
Lo! these many times have / taken
my pen to write what must be written.
and many spoiled sheet of paper in
the basket bears evidence to the diff
cult nature of my undertaking. Some
thing holds my band, just as some
thing chokes my voice when / think
Of he parting, and / can not write
nor speak Of it with the old familiar
fuency. 1t is no use to try. / can
not preach farewell sermons. like
not to say farewell words. The poe
try of life fails before the rugged in
exorable prose of farewells. Are
there any harder words to say tdan
good bye? Very | kuow not any. So
many memories hold my heart in this
place. How thick they crowd upon
me as | think Of parting. The fair
est face If ali the world to me, To- ks
down upon me as | write, from the
frame around, which a loving hand
has ,wined the evergreen Of immortal
lite, but can close my eyes and the
pictured face takes the hue of health
before me, can almost feel a hand
upon my shoulder. | can almost
hear whisper in my ear, saying
"Still-still in thy right hand carry
gentle peace" how keen a pang to
break away from memory like that,
my friends. How hard to turn my
back upon the grave, upon the hill
top, to leave the little rectory where
one life ceased while another began.
How sad to sly no more in the little
church, "The Lord is in His Holy
Temple, oh this is what it means
to say good bye. Do you wonder
that the words do not come as is their
wont. Something drags upon my
pen, something clutches at my heart.
remember my first confirmation
class, a goodly army, and some of
them have fallen by TIE wayside, and
some most of them-have kept the
faith and still will keep it. / remem-
Der the first time | preached in the
church and the last time. | know that
never in any church again will one
listen to my preaching who will give
me the bel p and encouragement used
to draw from her upturned face-and
yet | needs must go away. You do
not know how hard the parting. nor
what an effort it requires to say fare
well. We have not been SO long to-
gether, but Row we'll | have come to
know you and how truly learned
to love you. Can | ever forget one
friend in this little parish, will ever
one face vanish from my memory.
Shall forget one kind word from
any one, even the youngest child.
Not /, beloved. / shall remember
and think of you all, and the little
prayer of parting the Mizpah of the
old dispensatiOn, shall be my prayer.
Good bye and may the Lord watch
between me and thee when we are
