"LOVED MISS LOVE-
And Stole Her a Christmas Present
at Kabrich 4 Co.'s

Stella Love, a colored girl hailing
from Wellsville, spent Sunday in
Mexico and started for home last
night, but was arrested by Night
Waterman Muir Just before board
ing the tram. She had on a $40 cloak
that had been stolen from Kabrich
& Co.'S a few weeks since. MFR. G.
c. Longley happened at the depot,
saw the negress ard recognized his
cloak. He sent for the officer and
had the girl lodged in the calaboose.
She would not confess where she
got the cloak until to-day, when she
told the tale, knowing that the guilty
party had escaped. Will Hender-
son, a negro of Flat Rock, she says,
has been her lover and Christmas he
presented her with this elegant
cloak. She claims to be innocent
of where Henderson got it, but on
account OF her not ~confessing until
the rascal escaped from town Squire
Tomlinson held her under a sec
bond until Saturday, when she will
have a trial. True love wont run
smooth, thinks Stella Love.

in debtedness except the $500 due
the Savings Bank which is a small
amount compared to the value of
the goods. Mr.. Cove was simply
manager ofthe Mexico firm, working
for a salary and a certain per cent
OF the net profits. MI. Cove seems
o be of tie o pinion that Mr.. Daugh-
aday will 80 arrange the matter that
the Mexico house will be released
from any liability and will shortly
be open again. The branch house
at Meberly was conducted by A. s.
Mason who makes the following
statement to a Moberly Monitor re-
porter:
Mr.. Mason says Clahin & Co.
have 10 just grounds for such pro-
ceedings; that the attachment will
be broken at the February term of
the st. Louis court, the store be re-
opened and suit entered against
Clafin d Co. for damages.
The origin of the present trouble
grew out of past transactions be-
tween Clafin & Co. and Mr..
Daughaday, Mr.. Mason's St. Louis
! partner. The New York firm or
dered attachments wherever an in
terest of Mr.. Daughaday's could be
found, regardless of the rights of
his other partners. In this way
some half dozen stores sim liar to
Mason & Co.'S. in Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Kansas have been closed.
Mr.. Mason has ample and just
grounds for a damage suit, which
his friends hope will compensate
for the interruption to his business,
with combinations, damages tor
violation of rights, injury to credit
and personal humiliation incident to
such proceedings.
Mr.. Mason also makes the same
statement that Mr.. Cove makes
about the Mexico firm, to the effect
that ''not one dollars worth Of the
goods for which the debt was con-
tracted has ever been in the Mo
berly store, nor is MI. Mason indi-
vidually or the firm proper respon-
sible for the obligation. The St.
Louis partner, Daughaday, has been
engaged in some lawsuits with the
firm that run the attachment and to
secure a $4,000 debt the Mexico
and Moberly stores named yester-
day were closed"
