Badly Burned.

A little 2-year-old daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. G. W. Conrad, OF 2 1-2
miles east OF Keytesville, was badly
burned last Saturday by having q
boiler OF boiling hot coffee turned
over on her.
Tbs accident was caused by the
dress Of Mrs. John Green, a daughter
Of Hr, Conrad by a former wife,
catching on the coffee boiler and
pulling it of of the stove, spilling
the hot coffee over the child, who
was on the floor near the stove
One eide of the little ones face was
burned and also one OF it's ears. The
arm on the same side was badly
burned, but fortunately protected
the child's body to such an extent
as to prevent what would have 9TH
erwise, no doubt, been fatal injuries.
The burns were dressed by DIR. 5.
W. Downing. and the patient is re-
ported to be getting along nicely.

Little Chap" Won.

"Little Chap" a fine race horse
owned by Pat Stanton, the we'll
known horseman, and named in
honor OF "Littls Chap" Crawley, OF
Keytesville, the leading legal light
OF Central Missouri, won q $3.50
purse in a 4 Ia furlong race, at Kan
sas City, last Saturday, in which
there were 10 starters. Thie makes
the second race Little Chap" won
on the Kansas City race course dur
ing the recent races at that place.
"Little Chap" is proving to be on
the race track what the gentleman
for whom he is named has long been
in bis chosen professions winner.
Mr.. Stanton also has another
young racer be named for the Jolly
Joe Hsnsmsn, of KeytesvilIe, but Joe
has not yet distinguished himself on
on the turf, and we suspect he is
handicapped by bis name.
Mr.. Stanton sent both of his
horses to Council Bluffs, Iowa. the
first OF this week in charge OF John
NJ. Ford. OF the Forks of Charlton, to
attend the Council Bluffs races.

Two New Jail Birds.

John and VIM. McWilliams, OF
Clark township, were lodged in the
county Jail last Monday to serve out
a fine of s2.50 and costs, imposed
by q jury at the October term OF cir
cult court for disturbing the peace
OF Mrs. Margaret Possig, by loud
and unusual noise, quarrsling, chal-
longing and fighting at Mrs. Pos
sig's, who lives near Westville, on
the Sth of last September.
The defendants were first tried By
jury in Squire VIM. Clark's court, in
Clark township, on Sept. 26th, 1894,
and were each fined 81 and costs,
but took an appeal to the circuit
court with the result stated above.
Having no money to pay their
zines and costs they concluded TO pay
the penalty for their crime by stay
ing in jail by night and "enjoy ing
lie" on the rock pile by day.
They will take their meals at the
Hotel de Dempsey for the next 23
days.

A Negro Burglar.

Major Maranaduke, a colored wal
ter who has been employed at Sneed's
hotel, In KeytesTille, entered the room
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Parks, who are
boarders at the hotel, while Mrs.
Parks was attending the Populist pic
mic, four maes east Of Keytesville, and
Mr.. Parks was at the store last Thurs
day afternoors and helped himself to
such articles Is suited his sable high
ness fancy.
Among the articles missed were a
suit of Mr.. Parks underdothes, sever
al collars and cuffs. several neckties,
\ dress shirt and a few pairs of socks.
The nimble-fngered negro also ap-
propriated to his own use between So
and $40 that was ina small iron bank
i'm the room, but left about 4octs in
change in the "bank," also ST. bill,
which he had used in' replacing S..
The theft was nor discovered until
last Tuesday afternoon, but little de-
tective work by Mr.. Parks made it SO
uncomfortable for the thief that he
made q full confession of his guilt yes
terday morning.
Since the discovery of the burglary
a key has been found, hidden be-
tween two mattresses in room No. 8 of
the hotel, which unlocks Mr.. and Mrs.
Parks room, and by the use of which
Marmaduke is supposed to have un-
locked and entered their room last
Thursday afternoon as well as
at other times.

the honesty of his convictions. He
said hs did not belong to the Popu-
list nor to any other political party.
de is training with the Populists be-
cause they are more in harmony
with his views than any other party.
Whenever they cease to advocate
principles that he cannot endorse, he
will quit training with them and
affiliate with some party whose prin-
ciples he can endorse. He explained
away the "vagaries" OF the Populist
party, so far as they relate to tie
government ownership OF railroads,
opposition to land monopolies and
the money question. He showed
that he had bestowed considerable
labor in studying financial questions.
to all OF which he found q ready so
luton. Upon the whole, Mr. Simp.
sons speech was well received, but
whether be gained any converts to
the Popullstie doctrine We are una
bic to say.
Truly the time at the two days'
picnic was pleasantly spent, and we
learn from the managers that the
receipts were ample to pay all ex-
penses. The receipts were raised
from q merry-go-round, booth privi-
liges. q side show or two, etc.
The Democrats, we understand,
have arranged to hold a picnic at

casion OF a grand "16 to 1" Demo

fiouseIess But Not Homeless.

Mr.. J. c. Crawley, one OF Keytes-
ville's oldest and best known citizens,
had the misfortune to lose his COM
Portable home, located near the Bap-
tist church, in Keytssville, by fre
about three O'Clock last Saturday
morning.
1t is believed that the house was
set on fire by lightning, and occur
ring at the time it did when
most people sleep soundest, hefamily
barely had time to escape with their
lives, and give the alarm.
Nsighbors soon appeared on the
scene OF destruction, but the fire had
made such headwsy before it was
discovered that only q few articles
were saved. "Bilr" White. Mr.. Crau-
ley's stsp-son, saved his trunk and
also Miss Maud Hayden's, q grand
daughter OF Mrs. Crawley, who lives
at Weir City, Kas., but Was q guest
in the Crawley family at the time OF
the fire. An old beresu, q feather
bed and small quantity Of bedding
we're also saved.
Among the highly priced articles
OF furniture that were destroyed, were
sideboard, q dresser and book
case, the material for which
Mr.. Crawley had carved out with his
pocket-knife and was several years
in accomplishing the work.
The house was insured for 81 200
and the contents for s40o, but the
insurance will not cover the loss by
at least 81, 900.
Mrs. Crawley was in Kansas City
visiting her slater, Mrs. Chas. Veatch,
and knew nothing Of the devastation
the fiery fiend had wrought Of her
home until Mr. Crawley went up Sat
urday afternoon and broke the sad
news to her as gently as possible.
Mr.. Crawley says that the many
expressions OF sympathy and warm
friendship his neighbors have ex-
pressed for him and his family in
their misfortune makes him almost
glad that he was burned out. In
other words, he realizes to q very
gratifying extent that while he and
his family are houseless they are not
homeless. Very fortunately the
heavy rain of Friday night had so
thoroughly soaked neighboring
buildings that no trouble was ex'
perienced in preventing a spread oi
the fire.

Those Turkey Troubles Ended.

. In the issue of the COURIER OF Aug.
9th we gave an account OF a law
suit between the Carroll and Cooley
families, who live two miles east of
Keytesville, growing out a dispute
over the ownership of 1s young tur-
keys.
Both families claimed the turkeys,
and not being able to come to an
amieable settlement as to whose
personal property the turkeys were.
Cooley brought suit to recover the
fowls, which were in Carroll's pos
session.
The jury, however, which tried the
case in Justice J. NJ. DeMoss' court,
returned a verdict dividing the
turkeys equally between Cooley and
Carroll, and also making an equal
division of the costs of the suit be-
tween the paintiff and the defendant.
The court refused to accept such q
