JAKE CUMBERLAND, FORMERLY
OF MEXICO, sEsTExcED TO
DIE FOR ANOTHER's
AWFUL CRIME.
His Aged and Respected Parents In
This City Thought he Was Hanged
Friday Until Informed Diff.
ferently by 9 Ledger Re-
porter--Particulars.

Al little cottage IN west Mexico
there reside two aged and respect
ed citizens who have lived here since
the second day of April, 1867. They
are devout members of the church
and no one dare say ought against
their walk through life. As the old
gray-haired gentleman remarked in
the presence of his good wife Satur-
day morning that he owed not living
soul nickel the tears fell from his
eyes. Though instead Of being hap
py they have been miserable and
grieved until life to them is hardly
worth the living. Saturday morning
was the first sign Of the heavy
cloud moving from over their weary
and troubled heads-it was when
LEDGER reporter impaired the tidings
to them that their son still lived and
had not died upon the scaffold Fri
day, as they thought. They were
almost overcome with Joy and moth
ing was too good for the newspaper
representative-they acted as if he
had been instrumental in saving
their son from an awful and dis
graceful death-were he guilty. The
old gentleman said: 81 dreamed
last night that the worst had come:
that our son was hanged yesterday
for a murder committed by his own
brother-in-law." These good old
people are Mr.. and Mrs. James
Cumberland, who live across the
street from j. w. Mason and John
w. Atchison, West Monroe street.
Their son, Jake Cumberland, was
sentenced to be hanged at Harlan,
Iowa, Friday, but at the last mo-
ment was granted rehearing. He is
well-known here, having teamed
around Mexico up till the time when
be went to Fulton. Jake left Full
ton and went to Iowa where he mar
ried Miss Josie Davidson. When
he lived in Mexico he was a mem
Der of the Christian church and
attended very regularly.
HIS FATE IN IOWA.
Mrs. George Boomer, sister OF
the doomed man, is authority for
the following story, verified by her
parents, which she obtained while
on a visit in Iowa a few months
since for the purpose of investigat-
ing and bringing the guilty party to
justice: 1t appears that after JAKE
Cumberland left Mexico for Fulton,
he accidentally met Bill Davidson
| and worked with him. They both
went to Iowa and there Mr.. Cumber-
land welded Davidson's sister,
| Miss Josie Davidson. They went
to keep house for James Robertson
on a farm near Harlan. Bill David
son hung around and~,tried every
| way to get money without working
for it, so the story is related land told
his sister, so she states, that he mus'
have it if somebody's life had to be
! taken. Later on James Robertson
sold his farm and was soon to move
| from the state and take his only
child, little son, his wife being de,
ceased. Mr.. and Mrs. Cumberland
went away on visit and left the olo
man and his son at the house alone
for few days. While they were
absent Bill Davidson and man
named Chistman went to the house
found Mr.. Robertson and his little
son there and

THE WooLwlNE CASE.
Henry ]. W0olwine Sentenced to the
Penitentiary for Term OF Six
Years.

The case of the State Of Missouri
VS.. Henry J. Woolwine, ,icharged With
assaulting little Miss Middleton, of
Rush Hill, attracted great deal of
attention in our Circuit Court. A
large number of witnesses we're ex-
amined and the attorneys on both
sides made strong fight. The
jury was composed of the following
gentlemen.
A. G. Hit, Ferris Middleton, g.
D. Phillips, Albert Martin, Horace
Mundy, Garland Lockridge, E.
Williamson. G. w. Pickett, F. w.
Wisdom, T. B. Hit, Henry Stuart
and ]. P. Goodpasture.
After the evidence was all in
speeches were made for the State by
F. R. Jesse, who spoke 25 minutes,
followed by VIM. Edmonston for
the defendant "a minutes; Mr..
Warden then spoke for the state 33
minutes followed by Mr.. Cullen for
the defendant in an hour and three
minutes speech. Mr.. Trimble closed
for the state talking 81 minutes.
The jury was out 45 minutes and
brought in verdict for six years in
the penitentiary. 1t is understood
that on the first ballot all voted that
the defendant was guilty. When it
came to assessing the penalty men,
bers of the jury differed ranging
from 5 to 80 years, two voting for
5 years and two for 80, others being
from 5 to 20 years finally the verdict
was agreed upon for 6 years. The
attorneys for the defendant viii
make a motion for a new trial and
! If that is overruled will appeal the
case to the Supreme Court. Mr..
Woolwine's wife and little children
were in the court during the trial
and attracted great deal of attention
and of course created large amount
of sympathy.

A Post Hole story.

J. R. Shell tells of an item he
saw in Kansas City paper about
a man in Cuivre stealing a wire
fence post, holes and all. Of course
it sounds incredible. The man
might have stolen the fence, posts
whole and all. But Dick explains in
this way: There was dispute over
the line of two farms. One man
built the fence, the other claimed it
was on his land and brought suit.
He proved it, consequently he had
the land and post holes, and OF
course took care of the fence. Post
hole stories are possible since the
time of cyclones and tales about
Arkansas. The case is that of Orr
VS.. Mcdonald, now before the cir
cult court. Both parties live in the
southeast corner Of the county,
near Middletown, and Mcdonald
was fined $15 in a justice OF the
peaee's court for appropriating the
post holes. The case was appealed.

Rush Hill, Mo-, creamery was sold
at public auction last Saturday for
