The Glasgow-Keytesville ball
game, played here Wednesday after
noon, resulted in a victory for the
home team by score of 1S to 8.
The battery work for Glasgow was
done by MARYLAND and Finnell and
for Keytesville by Moore and Hans
man. 1t looked up to the 7th
inning like Glasgow would not get a
run, but they succeeded in scoring 1
in the 7th, 1 in the Sth and in the
9th inning. Keytesville scored 2
runs in the first inning and easily
kept the lead through the entire
game, with 1S runs to their credit
when the game ended. Hurrah, for
Keytesville!

1t is currently reported that a
Keytesville colored man is in dread
OF the next grand jury lest it should
call him to account for the heinous
crime Of criminal intimacy with his
own daughter. The unnatural faith
er, 1t is said. has been advised to alb.
scond by one Of Keytesville's leading
citizens. Strange advice for a
respectable man to give criminal.
isn't il? Good citizenship demands
that all crimes be punished, and es-
peciaIly when the crime committed
is OF such q revolving character as
that of which this negro man is said
to be guilty.

A Breezy Sensation at wsstvius.

Last Saturday n picnic took place
in the pasture of James Richardson,
a mile or so northwest OF Westville.
The affair passed of without
accident or exciting incident until
late in the afternoon, when it was
learned that Isaiah Rnsher, young
unmarried man about "a years of
age. and Mrs. George Hoxie, a rather
attractive woman in appearance, OF
about "a summers, with n husband
and one child. drove of together in
buggy.
Rusher and the Hoxie family re-
side near westville, and no cause is
given for the strange and improper
conduct OF Rusher and Mrs. Hoxie.
Rusher returned home Sunday
afternoon, but Mrs. Hoxie was not
with him nor had she returned at
last accounts.
Mrs. Hoxie was formerly a Miss
Card and lived near Rothville.
1t is not known whether Rusher
had designson Mrs. Hoxie's affections
himself or whether he escorted her to
meet another engagement and revel
in the Illicit ''love" Of another man.
The affair has caused quite a breezy
sensation in and near Westville.

'Ye editor" was in Triplett and
vicinity last Monday. Through the
kindness of j. A. Bowen we were
driven out into the country behind
Jim's lively-stepping buggy team OF
ponies. We found crops looking fine
in the vicinity OF Triplett, and the
wheat is turning out better in that
locality this season than any part OF
the county we have yet heard from.
John Hooper, sr., is again running
a threshing machine in the neigh
borhood Of Triplett and is having a
large patronage in that line. The
wheat is turning out from 8 to 16
bushels an acre. Chas. Claire, living
just east OF Triplett, had a yield
of 16 bushels to the acre, while
W. +. Mccullough, Geo. Rice and
others have threshed from IA to 10
bushels to the acre from their wheat
fields. 1t is thought that the farm
ers up that way, like farmers all over
Charlton county this year, will have
to lease ground on which to crib
their corn. that crop promising an
unsurpassed yield in every nook
and corner Of the county.

b. F. Fleetwood, a wide-awake
Triplett merchant and grain dealer,
had bought and shipped 10 car
loads Of new wheat from Triplett to
st. Louis up to last Monday, and is
still buying. Mr.. Fleetwood has also
leased the grain elevator at Mendon
and will buy wheat at that place as
well az at Triplett. He is paying 40
cents a bushel, and says that most
Charlton county wheatwill not grade
more than No. 3 this year.

Knight Not Guilty.

In OR last issue we mentioned the
arrest of David Knight. of near
Wrstville, on charge of assault and
battery upon VIM. II. Wilson, a
neighbor of Knights, and in connec.
ton with whom he was partner in
a threshing machine.
On being arraigned before Squire
Ewing, in Keytesville, on Wednesday y
of this week for trial, Mr.. Knight
asked for jury before whom he laid
his case.
Some three or four witnesses were
introduced on the part of the state
and four or five for the defense. The
testimony showed that Wilson. the
prosecuting witness, and Knight, the
defendant, had q quarrel over the di.
vision of the spoils of their threshing
business, that Wilson called Knight
a liar, and got threshed, the yield
being q black eve, which is not con.
sidered q marketable product.
The jury, after hearing the law
and evidence in the case, on which
it had sworn to make it's deci
sion, returned a verdict ofnot gull ty
The attorneys in the case were;
Bert d. Nortoni, Of New Cambria
and Ben Franklin, of Macon, for the
defendant, and Capt. j. C. Wallace
assisted by L. N. Dempsey, for the
state.

The report OF a pistol was heard
on the principal business street, OF
Keytesville, about 1 O'Clock last
Thursday night. We understand
that the weapon was in the hands OF
a young white man, and that ha
shot at negro, but without any
cause or provocation other than
"iust for fun" Such "fun" ought to
be made to cost those who indulge
in it very dearly. The negro says
that he heard the ball from the pis-
tol whistle past his head. and smiIes
serenely when he realizes that he is
still living. No complaint was made
by the negro, hence there was no ar
rest.

Marshal Veateh's residence through
the west parlcr window about 10
o'clock Friday night. Mrs.
Veatch and her daughters, Misses
fannie and Mary, were lying on the
parlor floor at the time. Mrs.
Veatch was waiting for the return OF
her husband, who was down in town
attending to his official duties, and
she had not fallen asleep. When the
nocturnal visitor approached the
window Mrs. Veatch heard him and
kept still until the unwelcomc
straggler started to climb iAto the
window when she asked him in
language more emphatic than
polished what he wanted. The man
lost DO time in beating a retreat,
and as Mrs. Veatch looked out at
the window to see the direction he
had gone, she noticed another man
standing near the northwest corner
OF the Jail fence. Both men ran in a
southerly direction, but left no clue
behind them leading to their identity
orformerorsubsequent whereabouts.
