THE OLD MANS STORY.
Giroux, the Ranchman, Gives
His Version of the Horse
Embezziement.

Gilbert Giroux, the Idaho ranch
man who had Ed Evans, Of Upton,
arrested for ENLIGHTENMENT, Is stopping
at the Riley hotel, and gives his YER
sion of the case. He saws that Ed
Evans had been in his employee about
ten days before they left for the east.
The other man who also went by the
name of Evans wished to work for
Giroux but the latter would not have
him because he had bad reputation
in Idaho.
They started east with horses,
Giroux and Evans and by some means
the other fellow was worked in by
Evans. GirOux made this bar
gain with Evans, to pay his
fare and s1.50 a day. In
addition to this he was to receive SO
head for breaking the horses and 81
head for haltering and leading
them.
The old man states that when they
arrived in Pettis county, Evans told
him that his father was very prOml-
nent man here, was worth S4O, OOO, and
that if Giroux did not pay him the
full amount, $50, at once, he would
fix it So that not horse could he sold.
This, GirOux saws, 80 frightened him
that he paid Evans $3.50.
He then went to Sweet Spring and
told Evans to bring the three horses
he had to that place if he could not
sell them. Instead he took them to
Upton and afterward to Versailles. In
a letter to his employer he stated
that he had traded the
two mares for Il horse and $40. After
ward he said that he had sold them for
800 cash AMI given the money to
this other fellow 10 hand over tn
GirOuX.
GirouX is a Canadian Frenchman
who has been in Idaho for years. He
OWNS 300 acres OF land and has 100
head of horses there still.
1t seems odd that the man should
sell Is horses here in Pettis county
and be left broke even if he did pay
Evans the $50 lalleged. 1t is also
strange that he would allow man
whom he had refused employment to
get mixed up in business.
Evans trial is set for Nov. II. He
is now out on bail. His family are
highly respected in Upton.

Found Dead.

The body Of John Nation, well known to
a majority OF the people OF the city and
surrounding community, was found in the
cold embrace ri death on the roadside,
near the residence on the Wesson farm,
one mile and a half due south Of town,
early Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Nation, it seems, had been to mill ut
Montro>e and was returning home some
time during the the night, when the wagon
wheels dropped into ditch on the road
side. between four and five feet deep. and
the vehicle overturned. When found by a
man by the name Of Powell, who was pass
ing along the road, the front axle Of the
wagon was resting upon the breast and
abdomen of the body, which was cold and
dead. The horses were still attached TO
the wagon and were piled ON each other in

came up as usual early in the after

him. She was about to make visit
to his father and mother at Sedalia,
No., and young Highleyman saw her
safely on the train at 6 o'clock. In the
meantime he had taken his payroll to
G. G. Wade's office, but owing to a
press of business it was decided to send
the money by a trusted employee on
Wednesday morning.
Highleyman left the office whistling
merrily. strolled down to the depot
and took the limited express on the
Grand Trunk road which leaves at

at Evergreen Park, so the young man
had decided to leave the cars at Clark

LUMBER FAMINE,
But SedaIia Dealers Say They
Will Answer All Demands.

The current rumor which has been
aAoat for the past few weeks regarding
lumber famine in Sedalia and sur
rounding country, was traced down by
a BAzoo reporter yesterday and found
to he without foundation.
The lumber supply in Missouri es-
pecially, is very small, while the de-
mand is unusually large. This strict
" applies to the yellow pine, which is
purchased from the south. The supply
is rather small in Sedalia As is the
same in Springfield, Mo-, and is due
to the scarcity Of cars, of the different
roads operating in the south, while in
the transportation of cotton every ear
Is in constant Use.
The different lumber merchants OF
this city have numerous orders on
hand for yellow pine which cannot be
filled but they hope in the future to
be supplied more readily than in the
mast

OUR SCHOOL BOOKS.
A Representative of Sheldon q
Co. Visits Our Schools.

Mr.. Hunt, the representative Of
Sheldon 4 Co, publishers of the New
Franklin series of school readers, was
in the city yesterday. He visited our
public schools and praised them very
highly, saying that their system COM
pared favorable with any school he
had visited.
With regard to the text book he in>
formed Superintendent Smith that his
firm was entirely satisfied with the
course Sedalia was pursuing. Our
city schookhave been using McGuffeys
readers and last year did not finish
them. The board passed resolution
that the next purchase they should
make would be the New Franklin.
But as the course of McGuffeys had
not been complied they decided to usa
the s,ld books for few months and
thus save an expense
to the pupils. This course.
Mr.. Hunt said was entirely satisfac-
tory to his firm.
Superintendent Smith stated to q
BAzOO reporter this morning that there
was considerable trouble in the smaller
towns of the state over the price
charged for the new books. There ara
no repositories except in cities Of TO-
600 inhabitants. and in other places
the dealers have combined to raise the
price of school books. In Nevada the
New Franklin reader which sell here
for Is cents is sold for 10 cents. He
had also received Il communication
from prominent educator at MOberly
stating that in Randolph county none
of the new books could be secured Al
publishers prices As in Sedalia.

THE OSSlFlED GIRL.
Her Manager Seems to Have
Been on the Confidence
Order.

j. f. Alderman, crook and
swinIler. well known to the police
department of the large cities, and
who has been in Sedalia Il number of
times, now languishes in the city prison
of Toledo, Ohio. with the crime of OBJ
tanning money under false preteases
booked against him.
1t will he remembered that Acker>
man was in Sedalia fair week. exhib-
iting an ossified girl on Ohio street.
He met the girls father at Spring
filled and there made contract with
him to take his daughter through
the country, paying all expenses, and
providing for her wants, besides Civ
ing them a portion of the daily door
receipts. The combination started on
the road, showing at every town Of
IL, 900 inhabitants or more.
Alderman, with his freak. done q
poor business in Sedalia, and. seeing
his money give out, made various pro-
positions to the father, by which he
could obtain the old mans money.
He readily fell into the snare
and would give the manager
from time to time numerous sums. as
he should demand. The show did \
very poor business through the eastern
states until it reached Toledo. The
old mans money was all gone, u board
bill was due and the landlord threat
ened to put them out He turned to
Alderman to pay the bill, who by this
time had found his partner lacking.
He put them of. That night he was
apprehended as he was leaving the
city, and locked up.
The old man lives in Southern Cali
ifornia and had sold his property to go
on the road.
Alderman got nothing short of S4,-
600 from him, IN about three months.
He has served terms in different
penitentiaries in the United States and
his last job will likely send him up for
another.

the proverbial long pole to reach the per
simmon, but she stepped to the front and
took il. All honor to her and to the men
who piIoted her cause and successfully
brought her into port. Now for the future.
1t is hardly probable that the good busi-
ness Judgment which has directed her
course thus far will fail now that success
has been won. And yet the same superior
skill! and business experience is as essential
to weather the storms Of the future as to
build the boat and launch 1t. For the time
being Sedalia is the mecca OF horsemen in

better places in the $1,000 square miles oil
