Fire

The alarm of fire was given. in
Keytesville. last Friday about noon
when it was discovered that the res
idence property OF Mrs. A. A. Car
mon, near the court house, was
about to be consumed, the fiie hav-
ing originated through a defective
due In the south room upstairs.
1t was thought at nrst the house
could not be saved. and attention
was at once turned to saving the
contents belonging to the three fam
lies who occupied the building. viz:
Nrs. Carmon and son. Frank; James
Craig and family. and c. l.. Herring
and family.
After the contents had been pretty
well removed, q blaze was bursting
through the rooi, near the fiue where
the Gre was first discovered. The
bucket brigade set to work to put
out the fire which burned very slowly
ON account Of the buildings beng
constructed OF native hard lumber
the weatherboarding being walnut.
The flames were soon subdued and
the fire extinguished notwithstand-
ing the high wind which was blowing
at the time.
Two holes as large az q good-sized
window we're burned in the south
end OF the house and considerable
damage was done to the roof in get
ting into the fire, but the loss will
probably not exceed $25 or $50. and

The Midnight Toughs.

keytesville, through her drunken
revels and midnight debauchee, is
unquestionably establishing "a repu-

calculable amount OF injury. and un-
less something 10 done to put down
such characters, retrogression and
decay to our best business interests
are sure to follow.
For several months the marshal
has made no effort to apprehend nu-
merous violators Of the city ordi-
nances, and In fact has usually re-
tired to WOO Morpheus long before
the midnight toughs commenced
their drunken carousals.

after City Marshal Veatch resigned,
but he has not given the Office his
personal attention for some time. be-
ing engaged in q "sweeter" business.

When he left Keytesville for Sum-
ner, Mr.. O'Bryan put Z. c. Curran
In as deputy marshal. who has thor
oughly proven himself to be the
most worthless official Who ever held
an Office in Keytesville. Fortunate
ly for the city, Mr.. Curran resigned
last Monday, and c. c. Haney was
sworn In as deputy marshal In his
stead. but whether or not be will be
an Improvement on Curran remains
to be seen.
Mr.. OBryan viii probably return

ter he viii give the Office his personal
attention.
One thing is certain. as mayor OF
this city We no longer propose to
submit to such dereliction of duty in
the msrshars Office. and we have ev-
cry reason to believe that We will be

Pat Thrash Shot

Pat Thrash. Keytesville livery
man, received a slight wound just
above his left wrist some time be-
tween II and 1 O'Clock last Sun
day morning. The wound was caused
by q ball from q pistol, which
afterwards fell out OF Thrash's coat
sleeve where it lodged on the op-
poetic side from which it had enter
ed.
1t seems that Thrash wac out with
q gang Of youngmen Saturday night.
some OF whom, at laest were feeling
their "tea," and that Thrash, who
had also been indulging in the flow
ing bowl, was amusing the crowd by
putting "a whole dimes worth" of
chewing tobacco in bis mouth at one
time which, it is said, he "chawed"
for fully hal. hourwithoutspitting,
expectorating or sIobbering.
This performances made the other
boys smile, and they seemed to think
that Pat was "drunker" than any
OF the rest OF the "gapg."
II was now 1890 O'Clock, a. m,
and shortly afterwards Thrash
sought his "bunk" in the office at
his livery stable, but his peace"
was soon disturbed by some party,
or parties, pecking on the window Of
the Office.
Thrash asked them to desist, but
as the "pecking" was repeated,
Thrash reached above his bunk and
took down his double-barreled shot
guu, stepped around the corner OF the
Office and fred the gun OF over B. g.
WilIett's barn, rs he (Thrash) says
TO friRhten away the parties who
had ben "pecking" on his window.
Imagine Thrash's surprise WHEN the
shot from his gun was promptly re.
turned by one Of the parties Who
were near the ealaboose, q few yards
distant, and Thrash was shot. The
pistol ball first struck Thrash's gun
barrel and glanced downward. pass.
ed through his coat sleese and i'm
ficted a superficial wound above his
left wrist. The pistol ball was
fiattenej out on one side, caused,
perhaps. by striking Thrash's gun
barrel.
After being shot. Thrash again fired
of his shotgun aimlessly, ano hur-
ried into tie Office. The party who
had returned Thrash's first shot,
fired off his pistol three or four more
times, and then all three of the par
ties near the calaboose took to their
heels and ran up the alley just south
OF Thrash's livery stable and turned
north at the southeast corner of c.
a. Chapman's residence.
Had Thrash not had his gun bar
rel in front of him at the time he was
shot at, he would have likely been
shot dead in his tracks.
Thrash vows that he does not
know who shot at him, but this
some people are disposed to disbe
lieve.
IL such carousals are continued it
is only a question OF q short time as
to when our undertakers will be
given a job.
And there will be no tears shed at
the funeral.

A Travelling Fake.

About month ago there ap-
peared in KeytesvilIe a nicely dressed
young man, some % years of age
OF swarthy complexion, black mus
tache, low, heavy set. and who gave
his name as Patterson. and claiming
to be a travelling salesman for the
"Kansas City Mineralized Rubber
company"
The young man came into the
CoURIER Office, made known his bus
iness and displayed q number oi
samples of rubber goods, out OF
which be proposed to have overcoats
made at the low price of $3.50 to
a., that would at any body. he tax
ing the measure and sending the
order To the house, at Kansas City,
from which the coat would be de-
livered at an early day.
As prelude to the transaction,
persons who ordered q coat were to
pay the sum OF 81, as an earnest of
OF their intention to take the coat
when sent to them by express.
After examining the samples Of
goods we told the slick-tongued
young man that overcoats made OF
that style OF goods were retailed at
q much larger than he proposed
to sell them at. In short, we did not
trade, and the young man sought
other pastures.
Among Others ne interviewed on
the same subject was Capt. X. M.
Scott, who agreed to take u coat,
but when he came down town next
morning to pay his dollar and have
his measure taken the nice young
man had gone.
But the captain, needing an over
coat, and wishing to secure a good
bargain, had bis measure taken and
sent to the house, at Kansas City,
with an order for a coat, accom-
panied by all needed references.
The captain waited for a reason
able time for the coat to come; in
the meantime was not certain wheth
er the young man was ''fake" or
his own references were poor in the
estimation of the house. Recently,
however, the captain received a let
ter which settled the matter for all
time. 1t was his own letter, mailed
to the house a month ago, contain
ing the order for the coat, sent back
to him from the dead letter office, at
Washington, ID. C. This was proof
positive that no such a firm as the
kansas City Mineralized Rubber
company" had an existence. and
that the nice young man was fake
of the worst order. The captain
considers himself very fortunate In
not having paid his dollar.
Some four or five Others did. how
ever, but for fear OF stirring up un-
pleasant reflections we have not en-
deavored to ascertain who they are.
Suffice to say, the next fellow that
comes this way under a pretense OF
selling rubber overcoats at very re-
duced prices will not fare as well as
did "Mr. Patterson"
