One Of the witnesses for the defendant
in the case of the state against Jones,
change of venue from Carroll county call
ed in the criminal court here Tuesday was
a young man who had been summoned
n failed to appear, n for whom a writ
OF attachment was issued. His parents
were brought into court upon similar
writs, and when the Judge asked the
mother why her son was not present, she
replied,
81 don't know, jedge, deed l don't. He
left home Sunday morning to go and see
his gal, and he haint got back yit."
The court suggested that that was not
the first instance on record of where a
young mans girl had caused him trouble.

Another Killing,


A man named Blagg, a farm hand in the
employ of Samuel Reeves, near Bates City,
was locked up Tuesday night, charged
with the murder of his employer at 8
O'Clock that morning. Reeves was a
bachelor, some IS or 40 years of age, small
of stature, and of rather a quiet DISPOSE
ton. Blagg is younger and u much larger
man. There was no witness to the kill
ing, and only Blagg knows the truth of
the matter.
DR.. j. II. Straughn, county coroner, was
notified of the killing early Tuesday fore
noon, but for some reason did not share
his knowledge, even with County Attor-
ney Aull, until late that evening. The
next day the two went to Bates City and
held an inquest over the remains of the
murdered man.
1t seems, from the best information OBJ
tainable, which is furnished almost ex-
clusively by Blagg, that the two men who
were blowing corn, went to a spring about
8 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, to get a drink.
They had been quarreling about blowing
in a certain field, and Blagg says that
when they started back, he in front of
Reeves, the latter began cutting at him
with a pocket knife, cutting him once on
the cheek. Blagg then threw one arm
about Reeves neck, at the same time grab
bling him by h hand which held the
knife. The hired hand then drew his own
knife from his breeches pocket and opened
the larger blade with his teeth. Before he
could use this knife he dropped it to the
ground. Freeing Reeves knife from his
hand the Infatuated man almost severed
the farmers head from his body, still
holding him with his left arm. He then
plunged the blade three times into his
employers abdomen and twice in his
bosom, near the heart. Reeves fell to the
ground dead.
Blagg went at once and gave himself ur
to Constable A. II. Gillespie, and was by
that officer turned over to Sheriff Mitchell
at the Jail. He is now pretending to bt
insane, and can remember very few Of thu
circumstances surrounding the killing
He refuses to talk, and will no doubt keeJ
his mouth shut for a while.
The cOroner's jury found that Reeve
came TO his death from wounds inficte,
with a knife in the hands of one And,
Blagg. CountyIAttorney Aull and Coro
ner Straughn found the people in tina
neighborhood quiet and willing to let tn
law take its course. They returned t,
town Wednesday afternoon.

DATE of Tho Eyecutiou.

A doubt seemed to exist In Sheriff MitchellS
mind yesterday, aS to how he should proceed,
no formal order having come to him
from the supreme court. He was of the
opinion that sentence would have to be again
stayed, as the supreme court had taken Il
lengthy recess. An INTE~LLIGENCER reporter
asked Judge Ryland's opinion in the premises
and that official at once said nothing further
need be expected from the supreme court, and
that its mandate would be found attached to
the opinion filed i'm the criminal clerks office
u day or two ago. That mandate is as follows:

TIMELY -SuaaEsTIoNs.

The following letter, addressed to the
editor of the INTBLLIaENCER by the Mid
land Elevator Company, of Kansas City,
under date of Saturday, will prove timely:
We are now on the eve of a new wheat
crop, which is probably the best ever
grown in the West. We expect To handle
a good proportion Of this crop, and are in
terested with the producer and yourselves
in securing it in the best possible condi-
ton.
Our observation has been in years past,
that wheat properly stacked after harvest,
and allowed to go through the nat ural
curing process, is more m~erchantable
than when threshed and shipped to mark
etdirectly after cutting. We believe il will
be to the interest of all concerned that
wheat be stacked, as unquestionably, il
threshed from the shock it will sell at Il
heavy discount under old wheat, as it will
not be in export condition.
With this end in view, we address our
selves to you, hoping that II agreeable to
your views, you will advise with the mer-
chants and farmers in your neighborhood
to further this course.
Kindly give all possible publicity to
these suggestions. The early crop move
ment will be heavy, and the prospects are
that the off grades of the new product
will be sacrificed in the leading consump-
tive centers because of poor condition.
