W. A. Lippincott. who has been
visiting friends in Mexico, will
leave tonight for Ray, Colorado.
Mr.. L%ippincott has q good ranch in
that section and has been spend
ing the winter with relatives and
friends in Audrain county. He
says this Is a fine county, but,it
suit him like Colorado. The
reason he gave mostly for spending
the winter in Audrain was on &C
count of the hard winter anticipat-
ed on the ranges last fall and thinks
he struck it about right, as the
weather has been quite severe in
that country and he understands
a great many cattle have been lost.
Tns county Mr.. Lippincott lives
in is ever 125 miles long and the
sherif7s salary is 100000 per year,
SIC, 600 more than the President of
the United States. Of course he
has a'large number of deputies to
pay, but it isa valuable Office and
creates great interest when 1t is

Councilman R. M White at the
meeting OF the Council last night
read the following letter :
To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 3O.-DEAR
SIR: l would like for you to make
arrangements with the proper Of
fcers to not allow any teams to
be hitched on the east side of the
Square next Saturday. If it is a
nice day there will be a large
crowd of people and a great many
horses in town, and I think it will
be a good plan to appoint two
special police to allow no hitehing
on the east side of the Square, so
it will give US room to show our
stock. A saddle horse will have
to be shown under the saddle, and
if teams are hitched all along the
hitching rack, together with the
crowd of people there will be very
little room to make much show
with our stock, and this can be ar
ranged without very little trouble.
l don't know of anybody that is
more likely to attend to this matter
than yourself, SO I write you.
Yours Truly,
CHAs. HILL.
White then moved that no horses
be hitched on the east side of the
Square. The Council all favored
the move, and on motion of Coun-
Gilman c. R. Lupton the matter
was referred to Councilman White,
who was authorized to appoint
two extra policemen to enforce the
order. The City Council Is willing
and anxious to do anything in its
power to forward the horse inter.
ests of this county.

note off.

The lawyers for the State are Prose
cutting Attorney F. r. Jesse and
Geo. Robertson. For the defense
w. W. Fry and Messrs. Cupp and
Todd, of Centralia.
The trial will likely last three
or four days. VIM. Richie was
on the stand Tuesday and testi-
fies as he did in the civil suit,
that the ote had never been paid.
There will likely be some sensa-
tons during the trial, as "Hick"
Logston will testify that Stephen
son did not pay the note ,as he testi-
fes, but that he (Logston), found
it and gave it to him. The defense
says it will prove that Richie was
to pay Logston $500 for this evil
dencs, and that 500 of the money
has been paid. Some tall swear
ing is to be done by somebody.
Richie says there Is no foundation
for the statement that he paid any
body any money to swear to any
thing. What money has been
paid by the bank was for detective
services.
The evidence for the State in the
Stephenson forgery case was con
tinued to-day. A great deal hal
been said about a contract existing
between Richie and Logston, the
prosecuting witness. The contrac,
was offered in evidence by the
State and is as follows:
In consideration that s. H. Logs
ston shall make affidavit to the truth
of his knowledge concerning the find
ing of q certain note involved in the
suit of NJ. F. Stephenson vs.. the Stur
geon Savings Bank to hereby agree moi
voluntarily to use information derived
therefroIl to prosecute said Logston
and further agree to defend hin
against any prosecution from any
souree arising on account of said aft
davit.

Sylvester (''Hick") Logston, o.

who claims to have found the note
which he says he gave to Stephen.
son, was put on the stand late this
this afternoon. He swore that on
the 18th of June, 1889, he found
some notes in front of Harris drug
store in Sturgeon. He said there
were two notes, and he said he saw
Mrs. Long there that day. The
theory of the State is that Mrs,
Long lost the notes. Logston says
one of the notes was signed by M,
F. Stephenson and made payable
to the Sturgeon bank. He says he
gave them to his brother, John,
He says Mr.. Gibson was also with
him and his brother when they
found the note. He says after

envelope and he gave it to M. F.
Stephenson as directed by hi

Stephenson came to him and asked
him "How about $3.50 TO keep you,
