Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1893-11-02

Deputy Sheriff Henson left for Jeffer
son City Saturday morning having il
charge Chas. Irving. Jas. Manning an,
Greenbury Priest; the two forme
are the Washington county safe blow
ers. and the latter pleaded guilty t,
stealing q yoke of oxen from his broth
| er-in-law. near the Madison county line
some time last summer. The Officer
reached Jefferson City Saturday noon
delivered his prisoners and returned
home Sunday.
Louis Hurdle, the old German who
beat several of our citizens out of small
sums of money, few weeks since, was
readily recognized as an old timer, by
some of the officials from St. Louis in
attendance on court last week. His
photo is in the rogue's gallery, and he
has several times figured in the GRIM
lnal court up there. In 1888 he plead
ed guilty to larceny and was sentenced
to two years in the the penltentiary.
Nothing but a misdemeanor could be
made OF what he did here, however,
and he was given a sentence of thirty
days in Jail.
VIM. Washington, an 1S-year-old
colored boy was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary at the Octo-
Der term o. the circuit court, 1892, for
burglarizing Bishops hardware store.
A letter was received here the other
day stating that since his incarceration
at Jefferson Washington had lost one
eye and was just about to lose the re-
naming one; so bad is his condition
that he has been taken from work and
the fears are that he will go totally
blind. He asks that the officials here
take action toward securing his par
don. If the facts are such as repre-
sented it certainly would be an act of
mercy and justice to give the unfortu-
nate boy his freedom. His term would
expire within six months anyway, and
if he is taken from prison now his eye
sight may be restored to him.

Fields Trammel's case in the circuit
court, wherein he was attempting to
gain possession of his house on North
Main street, occupied by c. B. Hill,
was continued last week on account Of
the illness of defendant. While Hill
had the keys he wasn't living in the
house, and the fact that it was unoccu-
pied caused the insurance to lapse;
there is a mortgage on the place, and
the owner of the mortgage threatened
to foreclose unless the house was in |
sured. Mr. Trammel was between the |
devil and the deep sea, the court on |
one side and the man with the deed of |
trust on the other; after much thought |
and consideration he resolved to take |
The bull by the horns and effected an
entrance into the building. He is now
IN possession and says he proposes to
stay there! But the end is probably
not yet.

he effects of Ovariotomy, on 18th inst.
Funeral Saturday, 2Sth, at Bellefon-
,aine cemetery. The deceased spent
most of her life in Ironton, and the
path she trod is known to all. Of a
kind and generous disposition, a devout
and earnest worker in the church, she
counted as friends all those with whom
she came in contact. About four years
since she was welded to Rev. o. w.
Rose, with whom she lived until death
severed the solemn bonds. Mrs. Rose
had not bean in good health for some
lime past, but was not considered to be
in any immediate danger. She sub
nitted to surgical operation about a
