his feet and legs. He then told them
where $1,000 was hidden.

CAPITAL REMOVAL.
Resolution for St.iLouis County Being
Prepared.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, March g.
Capital removal agitation was given
an impetus to-day by the arrival OF
Frank Donovan, of St. Louis, the adj
vance guard of the contingent which
is to present the st. Louis County
claim. Mr.. Donovan will be followed
tomorrow by the committee appoints
ed to come to Jefferson City, and up
on the arrival of the full delegation the
resolution which it is proposed to sub
nit will be definitely agreed upon.
Tonight a conference was held with
some of the St. Louis Senators and
Representatives to consider the best
manner of submitting the resolution
The theory upon which the st. Louis
Representatives are proceeding is thai
there is nothing tangible in the Sedaiia
proposition, and that no binding OBJ
legation rests on the town should the
amendment carry.
Under the circumstances they do
not believe the people will vote for a
removal, and will formulate a resolu-
ton which binds the county st. Louis
in such terms that before any amend
ment is submitted TO the people the
state will be absolutely guaranteed
expenses, and a bond submitted.
Senator Yeater, who introduced the
Sedalia resolution, introduced a bill
to-day requiring any city or county,
to which it is proposed to remove the
seal of Government, to file with the
Governor such bond TO guarantee the
erection of the new buildings as the
Chief Executive may deem necessary.
The bill also provides for a guarantee
against any cost to the state In the ac-
QUESTION of the necessary grounds and
removal of the different departments.

John S. Vance Lays Down by the Road
side and Breaths His Last-In-

From the Sturgeon Leader.


John s. Vance, for years a well
known character il this vicinity, re-
Gently a resident of Audrain, but at
the time of his death the owner of a
small farm situated nine miles south
west of Sturgeon, was found dead in
the woods about a mile from his home
on Sunday morning.
He came TO town Thursday and pur-
chased a quantity of whisky, which it
is supposed he drank, as he has al
ways been a proverbial drinker with
the exception of a few months when he
was being treated for the liquor habit.
He left town late Thursday evening
on horseback, but never got home.
He was found lying between two logs
near the roadside, as if he had STUN
bled and fallen, o perhaps his horse
fell over the logs, throwing him OFF
and hurting him so badly that he
chilled to death. II rained here on
Thursday night and was very cold
Friday morning. He was missed when
| lis hOISC CtllS IOIJlC w ISscy anu Oh
day Friday and Saturday his neighbors
searched in vain for him, and he was
not found till Sunday morning. At the
home of John C. Roberts the family
heard some one hello on Thursday
night as if in distress, but they could
not locate the direction and retired,
not thinking seriously of the matter.
Sunday morning, Mr.. Roberts, &C
companied by his son, went down into
the pasture for some wood and dis
covered the body of the deceased.
The body was discovered about 250
yards from the Harrisburg road.
Mr. Vance was undoubtedly in such
a state of intoxication that he knew
not what he was doing, AT Samuel
Justices residence he dismounted and
climbed through a barbed wire fence,
and attempted to pull his horse
through.
Deceased vas 80 years old, married
and had one child.
His remains were laid to rest at
Pisgah, Monday.
