At the April, 1890, term of the Char
iton circuit court indictments were
found against two young men in
Keytesville for running gambling
den. At subsequent term both
pleaded guilty, by their attorney,
and were fined $50 and costs. Only
one of these fines has ever been paid,
while the other stands charged on
the books against Sheriff Anderson.
AS to who is at fault for the fines
never having been collected we do
not know, but it ought to be paid
and the proper authorities ought to
see that it is paid. The imposition
of fines in Charlton county for gamb-
ling, running gaming devices and for
the illicit selling of liquor, are al
ready the laughing stock of many
other counties in the state, and it is
unquestionably the duty of officers
to see that small fines that are i'm
posed are collected. Neither of the
parties, or at least the one who has
never paid his fine, were in court when
the plea ofguilty was entered by their
attorney, and therefore could not be
placed.in the custody of Sheriff An
derson. Mr. Anderson says that he
is ready and willing to do his duty in
the premises as soon as the proper
capias execution is issued. Now, let
the officer, whose duty it is to do SO,
issue the capias execution and the
enforcement of the law take its
course.

A remarkably strange surgical
case, resulting from the swallowing
of needle, is reported by a physi-
clan who performed an operation up
on the left arm of Miss Clara Chestnut,
a young lady who resides with her
parents, some eighteen miles south
east of st. Joseph. Some six years
ago Miss Chestnut accidently swal-
lowed q medium-sizedn needle. At the
time the young lady swallowed the
needle it caused very little pain, and
since the occurrence she experienced
no annoyance until last Thursday
night, when she was seized with dis
tressing pains in the fieshy part un-
der the left arm, between the elbow
and shoulder blade. So severe did
the pains become that q physician
was called i'll to examine the arm,
and, il possible, to determine the
cause. The arm was greatly swollen
and the muscles throbbed almost
enough to be witnessed with the ma
ked eye. The physician was unable
to determine the nature OF the case
until the flesh had been cut away.
When this was done he discovered a
needle two inches long lodged in the
flesh of the arm. Itwas as black as
charcoal. The point of the needle,
which lay in the direction OF the
shoulder, had just pierced muscle
of the arm, and no doubt caused the
severe pain. The Physician believes
that the needless the same one that
Miss Chestnut swallowed six years
ago. 1t had worked its way down
through the body and into the right
shoulder.

The Lucky Ones.

Commencing with ourissue of Nov.
27th, the COURIER offered three pres
eats: AS50 solid gold watch; a $25
swinging silver water pitcher and
SO in gold to all new subscribers,
and all old subscribers who renewed
their subscription during the month
of Decmeber, 1891, the presents to
be presented to three persons guess
ing nearest the total number of
navy beans and grains of field corn
III Mason's quart fruit jar.
The contents of jar were count
ed on the morning of January 1st
by C. P. Vandiver, editor of the
COURIER; W. C. CASTOR, Keytesville's
postmaster, and c. A. Chapman, a
prominent young business man, of
Keytesville, while "tally" was kept
by J. NJ. Collins, the COURIER senior.
The plan adopted was for Vandi-
yer to count 100, and this number
was then counted by Mr. CASTOR
and then by Mr.. Chapman, and af-
Ter being verified, as it passed
from one of the counters to the 9TH
er, Mr.. Collins ''tallied" 100, which
was kept up until the entire number
was counted.
The jar was found to contain
3,0S4. The nearest guess to the to-
tai number was 3,071, made by G..
K. Adams, of Indian Grove, who can
now tell you the time by his hand
some new watch; the second nearest
guess, 3, ,10O, was made by j. M. Bust
er, who lives in the extreme northeast
part of the county, whose post office
is Barryville, Macon county, and
who captures the elegant swinging
silver pitcher; the third nearest
guess, 3,101, was made by Henry
Coll, of near Dalton, who gets the
SO gold piece.
There were $40 guesses in all, and
of this number 160 were made by
parties who get their mail at Keytes-
vile.
The jar contained 2,150 beans and
934 grains of corn.
The persons guessing the two ex-
tremes were Al. Wright, of Missouri
townehip, who gaessed 800, and
Frank P. Pherson, of Triplett, who
guessed 1865. To Mr.. Wright and
Mr.. Pherson We offer, each, ,as balm
of consolation, BOBBY prize of one
years subscription to the COURIER,
and we will send the paper one year
to any address they desire.
We extend congratulations to the
lucky guessers, and hope that the
others will meet with better luck
next time.
May all be happy and prosperous
during the New Year, and their ap-
probation of the COURIER grow
stronger with each succeeding issue.

KEYTESvILE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8. 1892.
Marshal Veatch Reoonstders.

In the recent tilt between Mayor
Scott and Marshal Veatch over Capt.
Seott's failure to sustain Mr.. Veatch
in making certain arrests, after hav-
ing ordered him to do so, of parties
for shooting fire-crackers and throw
ing torpedoes on the streets, Mr..
Veatch, on the spur of the moment,
told Mayor Scott that he would re-
sign, but after reconsideration and
the advice of some of his friends, Mr..
Veatch declined to hand in his resig-
nation at the meeting of the council
Monday night, and therefore is still
marshal The best of feeling has not
existed between Keytesville's mayor
and city marshal for some time, and,
as consequence, the interests of the
city have suffered.
Mr.. Veatch claims that Capt. Scott
has not sustained him in making ar
rests for open violations of the city
ordinances, while his honor asserts
that the marshal has been derelict in
making arrests that good govern
ment demanded he should have
made.
Be this as it may, the shortcom-
ings of the one are certainly no excuse
for the neglect of duty of the other.
In regard to fines that have never
been collected, Mr.. Veatch says that
Mayor Scott has not issued commit
ments in cases where he has made re-
ports of his inability to collect fines
while Mayor Scott claims that Mar
shall Veatch has not reported, in some
instances at least, that hewa unable
to collect, and that offenders have
been given their liberty without ever
paying their fines, or even the costs,
and. as a result, number of fines
that have been assessed still stand
on the mayors books unpaid.
Whoever may be at fault for this
state of affairs, the present order ol
things is proving entirely too ex
pensive to the taxpayers, and entire
ly too Inexpensive to those who vio-
late the city's ordinances.
An administration, the criminal
costs of.which exceed the fines collect
ed by $1O1 in years time, is not
conducive to the upbuilding of our
town, but, on the contrary, will lead
to still wider breaches of the law and
still more rickety sidewalks.
| Capt. Scott and MIR. Veatch should
inter the tomahawk, kiss and make
up, and, shoulder to shoulder, enforce
the city's laws more vigorously in
1892 than ever before.
Let us have peace.

AS a COURIER representative pass
ed dowr the street the other morn
ing we noticed "Uncle Jim" Myers
making some angry gesters at a bar
relof salt which was lying in the gutter
Just off the sidewalk. Some sneak
had ended iG over off of,sthe walk in
front of Mr.. Myers store the night
before, and "Uncle Jim was ssretf-
hot" at the vandalism of the party
who did it. We helped him to place the
barrel back on the walk, and the lift
seemed to make him more angry
than before, and with clenched
fist, flashing eyes and a face as red
as scarlet, he vowed ''he would pay
$5 for the escaped convict who roll
ed that barrel of salt into the street" !"
We hope that the dirty sneak, who
is guilty, may be brought to Justice,
as contemplate acts of this kind are
becoming entirely too frequent in
Keytesville.

Although the weather was rather
disagreeable, the county F. & l.. o.
was well attended Tuesday.
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1892-01-08

We understand from a reliable
source that the amount of fines col
lected in Mayor Scott's court in 1891
was $S1, and that the costs in cases
in which the city was multced amount
to $182, making the costs exceed
the fines collected by $101. Such an
exhibit of the city's affairs is largely
pue to minimum fines. Again we say
our municipal affairs, in the matter
of the imposition of fines, should be
run on a higher plane.
The case of 0. Il. Jaco against VIM.
Dawkins, tried in Squire Ewing's
court last Saturday, resulted III a
verdict for the plaintiff for $100, the
amount sued for, together with the
costs. The suit grew out Of the sale
OF a horse by Dawkins to Jaeo for
500 some time ago, Dawkins repre-
senting that the animal was a good
work horse. Jaco, however, found
that the horse would not work, and
took the equine back to Dawkins,
but he refused to return the money
paid for it, which led to the suit. at
the trial Saturday W. w. Rueker ap-
peared for Jaco, and O. F. Smith
for Dawkins. Dawkins, we under
stand, has taken an appeal.

of p. I. Smith, with G. W. Rucker as
alternate, as delegate to the district
meeting, composed of the counties OF
the Second congressional district,
to be held at Brunswick the LIST
Tuesday in February, the following
resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, the axe manufacturers
of the United States have formed a
trust for the purpose of raising the
prices of their axes, except the Kel-
ley Axe company, of Louisville, KY,
and as he has appealed to the farm
ers of the United States to stay with
him.
Resolved, that we, as the Farmers
and Laborers' union, of Charlton
county, do endorse the Kelley Axe
company, and ask our merchants to
handle them, or we will cease to
trade with them.
The above was adopted after in
cluding all other axe companies that
are not in the trust.
Adjournment until the next quar-.
terly meeting in April.
Part of a human skeleton was
found on Tuesday under the house
of George Potter, at Otterville, in
Cooper county, and is supposed to
throw some light upon the myste-
rious disappearance of man named
Reed about ten years ago, when a
dissipated family named Southerlin
lived in the house. Reed disappear.
ed suddenly and was never heard oi
afterward. The family said he had
left in the night. A few weeks after.
ward Southerlin died, it is said, in
great distress and agony of mind as
though he had committed some
great crime, and said he was going
"straight to o." While the neigh.
bors were sittingdp with the corpse
they could scarcely bear the stencil
that seemed to come from under the
old part of the house, where the
bones were found. This odor was
explained as being from poisoned
rats, but is now believed to have
been from the dead body of Reed.

A few days ago two young women
went to Springfield from Sedalia and
registered at a hotel as May Morton
and Mollie Parlew, but their real
names were Mollie and Livia Blue.
The next day they hired 3, horse and
buggy and left to visit relatives near
Brighton, Polk county. Friday the
two started on their return to
Springfield, but when attempting to
ford Little Sac creek, which was
greatly swollen by the rains, they
were both thrown into the water and
carried down the stream and drown
ed. The body of one of the young
women was found the same day, but
the other was not recovered until
several days afterwards. Both were.
buried near their grandfather's
grave in that locality.

Joplin, Sarcoxie and Carl Junction,
in that county, did not appear in

school book commission for use in
the public schools in this state, has

copies of the map which is correct,

Mrs. Callie G. Orr, of Audrain
county, held a note for $50 against
Dewitt Shoots. Monday Shoots en-
tered her rooms and demanded the
note or her brains. She told him
she preferred to give him the note,
and went to dresser on the opposite
side of the room ostensibly to get it.
She opened the drawer, but instead
of taking out the note, she secured a
3S calibre revolver and opened fire.
Two shots were fired. The first
struck the shoulder-blade and glanc-
ed off, and the second struck the
buckle of strap in Shoots hip
pocket. Neither did any particular
damage. A few years ago Shoots
had difficulty with Bob Muir, when
the latter shot him squarely in the
breast. The ball passed through
Shoots clothes just over the heart,
but struck a silk handkerchief and
did not break the skin.
