were unable TO pay for breaches of
the law in misdemeanor cases were
allowed to board at the jail and

So Mr.. McKann had to uDloosen
the strings of his wallet, and part

An eiopement occurred at GuthrIdge
Mills this week, in which Dan Clark,
a young married man, and a Miss

years; but it seems that he and his
wife did not get along well together

months ago. Clark went to Colorado

went TO Missouri township Tuesday
to try the case os the state against
James Allen, col, charged with
carrying concealed weapons.
The case was tried by Jury in
Squire Beeler's court and resulted

when Allen got there the hog had
gotten out, and managed to escape

Who viii Be Postmaster

This is n question that ia now agi-
tating the minds of Brunswick's citi-
asbss
CopgIessman Hall was there last
Tuesday and met with the Demo-
erateS post-ofiice aspirants in a
privfe room at the Brown house
that's evening. The aspirants are:;
John Knappenberger, John A.
Cason, George Ruckcr and Scott
Locke.
OF course the meeting was supposed
to be secret, but it has "leaked ont"
that Mr.. Hall stated that a petition
would not avail. and that the prime
qualities ton for his endorsement
would be Snowledge that the
applicant had supported him at the
Hall-Mansur primary in this county
last year.
1t is also reported that MIR. Hall
said. that he would not indicate his
choice as TO who should he
Brunswick's next postmaster until
the appointment was made, and that
the first and only intimation OF the
change would be the announcement
in the papers of the removal OF
Postmaster Luster, the p esent
Republican incumbent, and the
appointment of his successor, all of
which he hoped to accomplish within
60 days, although Mr.. Luster's time
does not expire for about two years.
but Mr.. Hall will endeavor to have
him bounced within the next two
months on the grounds of offensive
partisanship."
As TO why Mr.. Hall declines to
make his choice known until the
appointment is made is best known
to himself. Such a course will
prevent the disappointed applicants
from raising any protest against the
appointment of the successful
aspirant, except at time when a
kick will not avail for the appoint
ment will have then been made and
the empIy-banded would-be
postmasters must "take their
medicine"
Now, gentleman, go in and let Mr..
Halls warmest supporter knock the
Brunswick post-ottice persimmon.
As a matter of formality Mr.. Hall
took the claims of the various ap-
plicants "under advisement" for the
sake Of appearances.
The precedent at Brunswick for a
long time, at least, has been that
postmasters were allowed to serve
out their four years, but Mr.. Hall
proposes to establish a new order of
things and to run the Second con-
gressional to suit himself, and it is
even said that he claims to have such
an understanding and arrangement
with Postmaster-General Bissell
that he (HalD could made any
changes he pleased in the post Of
fees of the district within six
weeks.
Whatever may be said of Mr.. Hall
he is no Mugwump and the indica-
tions are that he will play the role of
boss and bouncer for all there is in it
to himself and his Democratic friends,
regardless of civil service or any
other kind of rules.

letter was received.
Howard called at the post office
the same afternoon and was handed
his letter, which he opened and
commenced to read in an uudertone
to himself. Sheriff Dempsey, who was
standing near. in this way learned
enough of the contents of Howard 6
letter TO know that the letter was
warning Howard to get out of the
way, aud said that the sheriff oi
Charlton county had written back
to Kentucky concerning Ben
Howard, as to what reward, il any,
was offered for him, etc.
Howard was at once placed under
arrest awaiting further information
from Msgofiin county officials, but
as yet nothing has been heard from
them, although the governor has
telegraphed Mr.. Dempsey that there
is NO reward for Howard.
The letters received by Sheriff
Dempsey and Howard were written
in identically the same handwriting,
but the former bore the signature oI

just how to- locate aud smoke him
out is yet to be solved.

on Howard's person, and on this
pretext he was held TO answer the
charge OF carrying . dangerous and
deadly weapon, and was locked in
Jail until yesterday afternoon when
he was tried by jury before So uire
Wheeler and acquitted.
Howard came to Keytesville
about the first OF February. and
since that time has been stopping
at his cousins or half brothers,
Morgan Prather's or Howard's, out
north OF town.
Ben Howard has made several
conflicting statements as to bis
past history and as TO when he left
Kentucky, which whould lead one
TO believe that he is man OF bad
reputation.
he is about "a or % years OF age,
is dark eomplexioned, about 5ft and
8 inches high. and will weigh about
