Another Jail Bird.

Marshal Gilchrist came over from
Salisbury Tuesday afternoon with q
hard-looking character giving his
name as John j. Jones.
Jones was committed to Jail from
Judge Bradley's court, at Salisbury,
in default of bail. to await trial at
circuit court on charge of stealing
a pair of shoes from h. C. Morehead,
a Salisbury society swain.
1t is thought that Jones is a pal
of Frank Mason. who was recently
lodged in Jail here for burglarizing
the house OF Xavier Miller, near
Salisbury. of 50 two or three weeks
ago, and who also stole coat and
vest and $13 or $14 in money from
Cbas. Kavanaugh, near Pee Dee,

Prof. f. L. Hubbard, late princi-
pal of the Brunswick public schools,
comes out i'm a communication In
last weeks BruDsWicker in which he
assures Editor Lincoln, of the News,
that no insult was intended to the
News by Mr.. Lincoln's failure to get
his reserved seats, and the professor
very gracefully takes the blame on
himself for not having properly pro-
vided for members of the press.
Considerable feeling has been engen-
cred over this controversy and We
Lope for the good of all concerned
and the interests of the Brunswick
public schools in particular that an
amicable adjustment of the differ
ences may be reached.

A Born Criminal.

| Ed SHOEMAKER, the youth who was
convicted at the last April term oi
circuit court for forging the name OF
W. j. Anderson. a farmer OF near
Salisbury, TO a couple OF checks for
small amounts aud who was senten-
ced to the county Jail for twenty
days, il again i'm durance vile.
Marshal Gilchrist, of Salisbury, re
ceived a telegram the latter part of
last week from the sheriff of Johnson
county, Mo-, stating that young
man, giving his name as Ed An
derson, had been arrested and
lodged in the Warrensburg Jail on
suspicion of being guilty of a ques-
tionable transaction in horse flesh.
The young man claimed that he got
the horse from a man hamtd Ander-
son, of near Salisbury, and had sue
ceeded in selling tie animal to far
mer, living about 10 miles from War
rensburg, for $50.
Marshal Gilchrist. forwarded the
telegram TO Sheriff Dempsey, whose
suspicious were at once aroused that
Ed Anderson was really Ed Shoemak-
er, and telegraphed for description
of the prisoner. On receipt OF this
telegram by the sheriff of Johnson
county Anderson" confessed that
his right name was Ed Shoemaker,
and said that Sheriff Dempsey would
know him by a scar on his left temple.
Mr.. Dempsey left for Warrensburg
Saturday night and returned with
his man by way of Kansas City Sun
day night.
After being released from Jail here,
having served out his twenty days'
sentence and costs for forging the
Anderson checks, Shoemaker left, but
returned few days afterwards in
company with Frank Walden, and
while here attempted to get some
saws into the county Jail to Theo-
dore Walden, who is now in custody
awaiting trial for forgery, to aid him
in making his escape.
Frank Walden was arrested two
weeks ago, at Marceline. for his part
in the offense, and Shoemaker will al.
so be held to account on the same
charge before the charges of horse
stealing against him are investigat
ed.
Frank Walden and Shoemaker
were brought before Squire Wheeler
Monday, when they both waived
formal arraignment and in defsul,
of S400 Dail were committed to Jail
to await the action Of the grand
jury.
1t is now known that the horse
Shoemaker sold was stolen from a
hitchrack, at Green. Ridge. Pettis
county, ,and belonged 10 j. X. Caldwell,
of near that place, and Shoemaker
will, no doubt, be turned over to
Pettis county authorities as soon as
Charlton county gets through with
him.

The Brunswick News tells OF a saw
mill man residing near Keytesville,
who wanted to purchase a pair oi
shoes in which to attend wedding,
but could not find them at home,
and so came to Brunswick where he
succeeded in finding a pair of 12's,
F. +. last, the desired size. liz is to
be hoped that that "saw mill man.
didn't step on the bride when he x IT
to the wedding. By the way, keeping
such large shoes in stock would indi
cate that there was a home demand
for them, but really we never no
tice that Brunswick people had such
enormous pedal extremities.

NUMBER 20,
a Slayer.

As a staver, ). Nj. Bustey, OF near
Lagonda, never Sails to attract at
tentio9. Nearly two years ago Mr..
Buster started iB to obtain an ap-
preparation for q bridge across the
Charlton at point east of Eagonda.
A lively controversy ensued over
the location for site forsai6 bridge,
one side eontending for site east OF
Bynumville, but Ar. Buster and his
friends claimed the Lagonda OF Bus
ter site was best adapted for the
erection of bridge, finally two of the
court deciding to that effect, Judge
Hyde dissenting.
After having won the site victory
the next thing was for Mr.. Buster to
obtain an appropriation for his long
and fondly-hoped- for bridge, bat he
met with repeated refusals On the
part of the court.
Last Monday Mr.. Buster came to
Keytesville again, but the court
still refused to make an approprla-
tion when asked to do so.
The Lagonda gentleman. however.
succeeded in obtaining a reconsider
alton of the question on Tuesday,
and argued so well the points why
such bridge as headvocateds should
be built, that Judges Niekerson and
Allen concluded to make an appro-.
priation of 81 200 for the bridge,
Judge Hyde dissenting on the
grounds that appropriations were
needed worse for bridges at other
Places than at the point for which
Mr.. Buster asked an appropriation.
Mr.. Buster is slayer.

After q Horse-Thiei.

City Marshal Veatch received a pos
talcard Tuesday afternoon giving the
description of n horse aud cart that
bad been stolen, at Mexico. on Mon
day, Jure 9Th, belonging to W. II.
Fisher, Of Santa Fe. Monroe county.
The thief, the postal card stated,
was supposed To he n young man
dressed I'm dark clothes.
A man answering that description
and driving horse and cart that
also answered the description OF
Fishers lost equine and cart, passed
through Keytssville about dusk
Tuesday evening, drove up the street
back of Gribble K Wilkes livery
stable, hitched his horse TO a post.
went up town and returned in few
minutes with two small packages,
supposed to contain something to
eat, got into his cart and drove on
in a westerly direction.
Mr.. NJ. +. Courtney and Miss Will
lie Fuqua, of this place, drove over
to Salisbury Tuesday afternoon, and
met this same stranger at the Red
bridge. On arriving at Salisbury
Mr.. Courtney was askeo by parties
from Mexico, who were looking for
the thief who stole Mr.. Fishers
horse, IL H.. had met a man driving a
horse and cart, and Mr.. Courtney
who was so absorbed in the pleas
ures OF his delightful drive to Sails
bury. replied that he had not. But
OH starting back home he mentioned
the query OF the Mexico parties to
his fair companion. and Miss Willie
at once reminded him that they had
met such a man near the Red bridge.
When they r, ached Keytesville Mr.
Courtney calleI on Sheriff Dem psey
and informed him of what he knew
of the matter. Mr.. Dempsey got up,
and in company with City Marshal
vea:ch, started in pursuit OF the
supposed thief about 2'30 O'Clock
Wednesday morning.
The first positive trail they struck
of a horse and cart was at Richard
Ewing's (col.), living on the Bruins
wick aud Keytesville road about five
miles west of Keytesville. From
there they followed the trnil to
Brunswick, and from there some two
miles beyond to the neighbCrhood
OF Sand slough where all traces were
lost as the soil, being gumbo, was
so hard that a cart made ne track
upon il.
1t is thought the thiei had hidden
in the adjacent heavy timber, and
will likely be captured, as, when
Sheriff Dempsey aud Marshal
yeatch returned, posse OF Bruins
wick aud Triplett citizens were
securing the woods in search OF him.

William Morris Dead.

William Morris died IN terrible
agony in the county Jail last Friday
afternoon about , o'clock.
Morris. il will be remembered by
the COURIER readers, was the fiend in
human form, who perpetrated a hor-
ribls tragedy, six miles south of
keytesvillr, on the afternoon of the
18th of last month, shooting his
wife twice. from whom he had been
separated. for refusing TO live with
him again, firing once each at his
father.in-law and mo ther. in-law, Mr..
and Mrs r NJ. Padgett, and then
shot himself in the head with suicidal
intent.
It was thought from the first that
Morris could not recover but he lin
gered Is days before giving up the
ghost.
DIR. j. +. Grinstead. coroner, was
notified of Norris death and came
overfrom Salisbury on the early train
Saturday morning and held a post
morfen1 examination on Morris dead
body.
On laying back the scalp it was
found that the bullet, with which
Morris had attempted to take his
OVID life, had split in two, and part
of the leaden messenger of death was
found lying on top of the head be
tween the scalp and the skull.
The top of the skull was next re-
moved, and the other portion OF the
bullet was found imbeded at the TOP
edge and near the center OF the fore
head in the membranous covering OF
the brain. II had not penetrated
deep enough to enter the brain, but
produced inflammation OF that organ
which caused death.
The opinion was expressed by ply.
sicians who were present that had a
portion of Morris skull been remov-
ed, the bullet extracted from the
covering of the brain, and the open
ing in the skull properly trepanned
that Morris would have recovered.
The coroner's jury returned yer
diet to the effes: that deceased
came to his death by a gun-shot
wound inflicted by his own hands.
Morris remains were inferred at
the county's expense in the potters'
field Of the city cemetery late Satur.
day afternoon, his aged and almost
hesrt-broken mother and a younger
brother, of near Forest Green, being
present at the burial.
Morris wife is getting better slow
ly, and the chances are now good
for her ultimate recovery.
