500 people visited the scene of con.
flagration on Sunday only to look upon
a mass of smoking debris. As to

does not make the matter any better.

agreed that the ex-manipulator OF the

it is feared that the party or Charley,
at least, had struck another Doe Run
and came out badly worsteG. As two
or three days have since passed, how
eyer, and there has been no news OF
broken heads, or bloody noses. this
conjecture may be WITHOUT foundation.
In the party were Geo. Peck, Dan.
Stiner, Herman Dinger, and Noah
johnson and Luther Todd as teamsters.
Their destination is at some point in
New Madrid county; they expect to be
gone all winter and, if they have the
luck they anticipate, are counting on
making money out of the hunting and
trapping. Success to their efforts!
DIR. Strong was called to Middlebrook
last Wednesday morning and having
heard that the woods between here and
that place abounded with turkeys this
fall, he provided himself with shot gun
and determined to do some hunting on
the return trip. Having completed his
business in Middlebrook, he started
home; when half way to Pilot Knob he
concluded he had about reached the
section most likely to be invaded by the
turkeys, hltched his horse, and started
up the mountains; he hadn't proceeded
very far, when, sure enough, in open
space, only few yards in front of him,
there walked three great big turkeys.
Of course, in this instance, to see was
to act; the DIR. quickly brought the
gun to his shoulder and pulled the
trigger; simultaneous with the explos-
ion, great big gobbler fell over on
his back apparently in the agony of
death. The DR.. was certain he had
secured one and as the other two start
ed to fly away and still in easy range,
it doubtless occurred to him, now that
he had provided for his own table, how
charitable and wise, it would be for
him to similarly provide for the editor.
Again the good gun belched forth fire
and shot, and another turkey began to
fall to mother earth, apparently mort
ally wounded. The sportsman reload
ed, exulting within himself the happi-
ness and plenty his unerring aim had
that morning secured to two different
domiciles. By this time the turkey
first shot had ceased to struggle and
lie on the ground perfectly quiet; the
step of the sportsman
seemed to awaken new life within the
fowl, however, for he spread out his
wings and sailed away right over the
tree tops. Well, the DR.. g turkey was
gone, but he thought he'd at least
secure the one that belonged to the
editor, and take it home in triumph!
But when he went to look for it, it too
had singularly disappeared, and the
hunter was compelled to return home,
and empty-handed. And |
now the DR.. declares that the guns of |
late date and pattern are of little ac-
count, and not to be depended on in
any event.
