the circumstances under which Alouzo
CLANCY and family left here for Spring
field, Ohio; no left owing Mr.. Robert
Taubman $4,000, with Il security amount,
ing to about $1,000. MIR. Taubnan held a
deed of trust on Chaney's canucry at
Higglnsville, and n small farm of about
hfty-two Rcres near town. CLANCY left
other debts, among them being several
bills to our merchants here. lie also
owed Mr.. L. II. Taubman, n son of MIR,
Taubnan, 5000.
On the 23rd of last month, Mr.. Taub-
man, IL son Bert, in company with de-
t~ective Frank Tut, left for Springfield,
Ohio.
AS the above gentlemen We're walking
along one OF the streets of Springfield,
they saw Il son of the party they were
seeking.
Messrs. Taubman and Tut dropped
back, whom Bert advanced and accosted
young CLANCY, who seemed greatly sur
prised.
The other gentlemen then stepped up,
and in answer to n question, CLANCY said
his father was at home, that is, where
they were temporarily stopping. Upon
g ding to the place indicated, CLANCY was
found to be out in town.
CLANCY was afterwards met or the
street, and they accompanied him to the
board of trade, whereof seems that organi-
cation was about to present him with a
site for the purpose of erecting a cannery.
Thay hod q conversation fbara ap6 mazda
an appointment to meet at the room of
Mr.. Taubman at the hotel.
That night CLANCY and scr came to the
hotel with pistols in their overcoat pock-
cts, which thew took no pains to conceal,
and acted In a very threatening manner.
After some talk, Mr.. Taubman made
CLANCY the proposition that il he would
give him $1,000 he would return him the
notes. CLANCY finally paid him 81 600 for
the notes.
CLANCY has q cousin in Springfield, a
Mr.. Ludlow, proprietor OF the mallaeble
iron works of that city.
Messrs, Taubman and Detective Tut
returned last Saturday.
We do not wish to enter into a discus
sion of the matter, but will say to the
public that Mr.. CLANCY is only entering
into the case, as the county authorities
will now TAX the matter up.
We trust the offender-and we think he
has proven himself a criminal-may be
brought to justice, and the majesty of the
law upheld.
The INTELLIaENoER has seen copies of
the Springfield papers concerning the
visit Of Messrs. Taubman and Tut to that
city, with reference to the rascality OF
Alonzo CLANCY, who recently left here.
We have not sufficient space to reprint
all the papers there say about the matter,
but will only give a summary of it, as
taken from the Springfield Democrat.
1t tells OF the arrival in Springfield OF
the above named gentlemen, and the
business which brought them there, on
corning which our readers are familiar,
and also mentions the meeting of CLANCY
with the gentlemen referred to.
Mr.. Taubman secured Oscar r.. Martin
as his attorney, while Chaney's interests
lawyers OF Springfield.
As before mentioned, by CLANCY paying
MI. Taubman $1,000 in addition TO the
deed of trust he held on the cannery at
Higginsville, and a small farm near Lex-
ington, the notes were given to CLANCY.
CLANCY represents that he has been lied
about, and has been mistreated while in
Missouri on account of his politics, he
being a republican.
The paper also speaks of Chaney's rela-
tives there, he being we'll connected.
Meanwhile the cannery project is in
suspense, and it is probable that the citi-
zeus OF that place will drop CLANCY for
good of themselves.
For the INTELLIaENCER, we WILL say
that from a brief glance at the matter, we
would pronounce CLANCY a consummate
swindler, and n who having been de-
tected and exposed, does not hesitate to
misrepresent affairs.
He left here in digrace, and when he re-
turns we trust it may be in the tolls of
the law.
What he says concerning Mr.. Taubman
and Detective Tut Is n fabrication of his
brain. The first named gentle
is a stalwart republican, and as such
Is we'll known In this county and else
where. We would call Chaney's attention
to the fact that politics and business are
sometimes too very distinct things. His
ill-tempered remarks will not harm Mr..
Taubman in the least.
Concerning Mr.. Tut, we will say that
he was but a mere youth at the time of
the war, and was not as CLANCY says, a
member OF Quantrell's band. AS Grimm
ais have learned, we will say that he is ans
experienced detective.
AS we said in the commencement of
this article, the matter will probably go
further ere the end Is reached.
