Friend Carroll, editor of the Com
moner, (populist) was in Butler
Thursday and said there would be
three tickets in the field. democrat,
republican and populists. The repub-
licans have the majority in Green
county,the democrats come next the
populist cut but small figure. So
the fight will be between the repab-
licans and democrats.
". 0. Jackson has been retained
as counsel for Pryor the young man
arrested on the charge of shooting
the two young men, Metcalf and
Macklin, at Rockville, Christmas a
year ago. Pryor was acting as
deputy marshal and claims that the
shooting was done in defense of his
father, who was city marshal. and
who was being assaulted by the
above named young men while at
tempting to arrest them in the dis.
charge of his duty as an officer of
the town. Immediately after the
shooting Pryor went to Kansas and
his whereabouts was not known
until short time ago.
Mrs. D. Jane Kash, of Johnstown
this county, through her attorney,
II. F. poague, has brought suit
against the city of Clinton for 49,.
500 for injuries received while in
that city May last. In leaving
town and while crossing the viaduct
over the Memphis railroad in the
city limits, some children scared
the team and the vehicle in which
Mrs Kash was riding was overturned
and rolled down the embankment,
iuluring her quite severely from
which she was laid up for several
weeks. We get these facts of the
mishap from the Clinton Democrat.
Jerry Simpson, the noted Kansas
sockless statesman, was in Butler
Thursday and spoke to a large
crowd in Wells grove just east oi
town. Jerry made a good talk, but
we fear his speech was not abusive
enough of the two old parties te
suit the majority Of his populist
hearers. Jerry was very moderate
in his language, and at the close O.
his speech paid high compliment
to Missouri's representatives in con
gress, and especially fattered Judge
DeArmond, whom he characterized a.
being one of the ablest, most sincere
and honorable men on the floor O
the house, and as voting for ever,
measure that was calculated for tn,
good of the people, and against tina
which was bad. Compliments tt
democrats from populist orators art
such rare commodity democrat.
on the ground could scarcely realiz,
"where they were at.
