Backed OFF the Bridge.

DIR. N. r. Rodes met with an acct
dent Sunday that might have been
more serious than it was. He and DR..
w. R. Rodes were returning from
Martinsburg Sunday afternoon and
at a bridge about four miles this side
of Martingburg the horse SHE'D. DIR.
w. R. Rodes got out of the buggy be-
fore the horse reached the bridge.
When about half way across the horse
began to back and did not stop until
the buggy had been thrown clear off
and had fallen to the ground, a dis
lance of about seven feet. Young DIR.
Rodes was thrown from the vehicle
and landed on q rocky piece of ground.
Aside from a few severe bruises he
came out of the accident unhurt. 1t
was certainly a narrow escape for him
and a lucky thing that his father got
out before the bridge was reached.

MICHAEL BoBBsT WAS SENT TO
THE PENITsNTIARY.
For Abaucting and Betraying Miss
Belle Butler, 50 She Says in a
Sensational A~fidavit-Par-
doning PETITION to Be
Semitic Gov.
Stone.
By Perry
From thess Louis Chronicle.

MPx1Co. Mo, November 5.-Attor-
nov p II CaIIen disclosed to your
ranresentative a sensational develop
ment in The ease of the State of Mis-
souri vs. NIieaael Bobbst, whose cause
is now pendipg in the Supreme Court
of Missouri.
In the lover court Bobbst was sem
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiarv for ~sbducting and betraying Miss
Belle Butter, Is, of Montgomery Coun-
ty.
In Septsmber, 1892, Michael Bobbst
started from Montgomery County in a
wagon for Oklahoma. The evidence
in the lover court showed that Bobbst
induced two girls, Miss Lizzie Auten-
wreath and Miss Belle Butler, to ac-
company him. He promised to marry
them both and both girls became
mothes. He finally married Miss
Auteawreath and not desiring to be-
come bigamist he disposed of Miss
Butler at Guthrie, Okla. Her father
sent her money to come home. An
Indictment followed, charging Bobbst
with abduction and betrayal.
Now, several months after the trial
and conviction of Bobbst, comes nee
Miss Butler, who has recently married
q Mr.. Potter, and states, under oath,
in the presence of two witnesses, that
uyoC tha main uyif,,ae- -, tho ooSo
against Michael Bobbst, and that he
is innocent of the charges against him.
She declares that instead of being
abducted by Bobbst, that she met him
and his present wife, nee Miss Auten-
wreath, and learning that they were
going to Oklahoma begged the privil-
eye of accompanying them.
They first refused" says Mrs. But
ler- Potter's affidavit, Sand / walked
after their wagon for a mile or more.
Finally they stopped and insisted
upon my returning to my sisters, Mrs.
Mary ~Sweisey's, and when we reach
ed Mexico, Mike Bobbst and his wife
again tried to persuade me to return
home, but l continued with them till
we reached Guthrie, Okla.
-"After a while / came back to my
fathers i'll Montgomery County where
I soon afterward became a mother
/ told my parents that Michael Bobbst
was the guilty man, and they insisted
on prosecuting him, and l made uI
the story told by me on the witness
stand in the Mexico Court House."
In case the Supreme Court does not
reverse the finding of the lower cour
in this singular case, and discharge
Bobbst, Mrs. Butler Potter has pre-
pared the following affidavit to b,
submitted to Gov. Stone:
"To the GOVERNOR most respect
fully ask Your Excellency to issue al
unconditional pardon for Mike Bobbst
who was convicted in the Circuit
COURT of Audrain Ooaaty, Mo-, of thu
charge of having abducted me ava,
from home. My reason for askin,
his pardon is that my testimony il
said case was false and untrue, and b,
is entirely innocent of the crime.
have made affidavit in regard to tn
case and it will fully explain my &C
ton in said case.
