miles northwest OF Keytesville, had
an alteration on Thursday evening
Of last week, growing out of a con
troversy over a debt, the result be-
ing that q warrant was sworn out
before Squire Wheeler the next day
for Broaddus' arrest, charging him
With carrying concealed weapons.
But when Deputy Sheriff Dempsey
went to make the arrest Brosddus
had skipped. Rudnell told several
parties that Broaddus had snapped
a pistol at him two or three times.
but this an eye witness to the diff
Guilty denies, anG says that Broad ius
did not even draw a pistol, but that
Hudnell picked up part Of a rail
and started toward Broaddus with
it as il to strike him. IL also seems
that Hudnell had carried concealed
about his person the same weapon
which Broaddus is accused of car
rying in the warrant sworn out for
his arrest. Broaddus, We under
stand. claims that he has right to
carry a pistol, but whether Hudnell
claims the came or not we do not
know. The habit OF carrying con-
cealed weapons is a most psrni-
cious one, and punishment, swift and
sure, should always be meeted out in
such cases where it is possible to OBJ
tain a conviction.

REHABILITATION.

A Bad Niger. I"

Elmer Williams, a worthless son of Ham
whose principal occupation is to hold down
sidewalks on the streets of keytesville, and
a the position OF professional loafer, came
last Monday night and unless the dusky
gentleman changes his habits in the future
his ''untimely (?)demise" may be locked for
al most any time. ~
For some time past, the aforesaid colored
gent has made n practice of going into
Hansman q Kicks saloon and stirring up
trouble with other eelored men whohappened
to be in there, and on last Mondav night be
concluded to do the same thing. He went
into the saloon about 2 o'clock and proceed
ed to quarrel with several colored men, when
Henry Rick, who had on several occasions
leave two or three times and then undertook
to show Williams TO the door. No trouble re-
suited until the negro, just before going
out, turned and struck Mr.. Rick glancing
blow in the face Mr.. Rick then pulled his
revolver from his pocket. having anticipated
trouble with the darkey, and fired one shot
at him Just as he was turning south from
the door. Tho bullet missed its mark and
Mr.. Rick not being able to leave the saloon
did not follow the negro to further avengc
himself of the blow. After Williams left the
saloon he went into the post-ofice drug
store where he was soon afterwards followed
by Jue Hansman, Mr.. Rick's partner. who
took him to task about his actions in the sa-
loon. W illiams drew knife on Hansman, who
picked mp a cigar clipper and threw it at the
negro, striking him on the most invulnerable
part of a negro's anatomy-the head. The
blow which would have laid an ordinary man
in the shade. only staggered the negro, who
got behind the counter and picked upa heev Wy
tobacco cutter and made for Hansman. Mr..
HaDsman drew revolver and would have
soon put an end TO Williams career. had not
a couple OF gentlemen. who had stepped in. .inr
terferred and counseled Mr.. Hansman to be
careful about his actions as he was in a
government building, and liable to create a
great deal OF trouble for himself.
As yet no arrests have been made by city
authorities in the above mentioned affair,
and we do not know that any action on the
part Of the city will be taken.
We are told. on good authority. that
Williams Is the Individual Who has done
most of the promiscuous shooting about
town. and of which the citizens of Keytesville
have long since grown exceedingly tired, aud
We would suggest that he be placed under
surveillance and il detected in the act again,
be made to do penance on the city's streets,
with q ball and chain. hammer and large
pile of rocks for company.

This is the predicament Moberl,
now finds herself in, Mayor Jas. w
Ragsdale having been convicted o
oppression In Office In the Randolph
county circuit court. at Moberly, last
Monday.
Mayor Ragsdale had J. K. ivy
man and A j. Edwards, of Arm
strong. Howard county. arrested in
Moberly on the night OF the 30th oI
last June, but without just cause
or provocation, and the two How
ard county men brought suitagainst
Moberly's misfit chief official. charg.
ing him with oppression in Office.
The jury, which tried the case,
found the defendant guilty, and fixed
his punishment at a fine OF $50.
The attorneys in the case were:
Prosecuting Attorney Palmer and
A. II. Waller for the state. and Hon.
S. C. Mayor. Of Fayette. for Mr.
Ragsdale. the defendant.
The conviction of this charge,
under the statutes of Missouri. de-
bars him from ever again holding Of
fice under the constitution and laws
OF the state, of ever voting at any
election governed by the laws of the
state, and even robs him. of the Of
fee OF mayor which he was holding
at the time OF bis conviction.
Jas. w. Ragsdale has figured in
many ways in the past several
months to the disgrace OF Moberly
and it is to be hoped that he has
been eneverlastingrelegatedt to the rear,
and that he will henceforth cease to
figure in the affairs Of that city.
Mr.. Ragsdale. however, doesn't
propose to have it that way, and
has taken an appeal to a higher
court.

FUN ON HOWARD AVENUE.

Two Clubs Make Splendid Displays of
 Fireworks A Fine Balloon Ascension
 Also Interests the People.
 Howard avenue was lit up gaily with firework demonstrations last evening, made by both the West Side and the Sacred Heart clubs, these near neighbor- ing clubs vieing with each other in the patriotic work. The displays were splendid, and were viewed by hundreds of people. Immediately after the fireworks the residents of Howard ave- nue, ill the same vicinity and others were treated to another demonstration. A large fire balloon, thirty feet high, was set up, and attached to it were two effigies, representing respectively Mother Grundy and Miss Gossip. The balloon sailed upward about 500 feet and then struck southerly current, which drove it, with it's trailers of effigies, over to- wards Long Island. Hundreds viewed the spectacle with much interest.
 Nineteen years ago yesterday similar fire balloon was sent up from the same locality, and with an effigy of Mother Grundy attached. It landed at Greenport, Long Island. Attached to the effigy was a polite note from Con- ductor Frank Hermanoe requesting ::de- cent burial for Mother Gruudy from the party into whose hands she might chance to fall. The man on whose land Mother Grundy descended relished the fun, and sent Mother Grundy back to New Haven c. 0. D., and g witty note accompanying.
