conference here last week as dele

He has been a steward OF his
church in Glasgow for 40 years. and
In all that time no minister has ever
moved away from that charge with
out getting his pay.

Till last year it was thought the

to work well. The we'll ones, caught

The charge against Wilson was
that OF felonious assault with intent
to kill, but that charge was aban-
donsd and the prisoner was arraign
ed and tried for common assault.
but the jury returned a verdict Of
not guilty.
It seems that Lay and Wilson were
cropping together. but could not
get along pleasantly and q division
OF their crop was decided upon.
They could not agree upon the di-
vision. aud q quarrel and fight en-
sued in which Lay was worsted.
Lay afterward went to Wilson's
house and shot at him three times
with q revolver, but nei,her shot
took effect After shooting at Will
son, Lay came to Keytesville and
swore out a warrant for Wilson's
arrest, charging him with felonious
assault with intent to kill, claiming
that Wilson had shot at him with q
shot gun, but no evidence was
brought out to that effect at VIII

A Battle with Bandits.

There was great excitement at
Gallatin. Mo-, and vicinity over the
robbery and attempted murder OF
Elmer Spurlock, a farmer living
south OF Gallatin, near the Caldw well
county line.
About 8 o'clock Monday night
while Spurlock was returning home
from a neighbours house he was held
up and robbed by a couple OF men.
After robbing Spurlock his assail-
ants released him, and as he started
to go away they fired upon him, in
fiicting dangerous wound from the
effects of which he viii probably die.
Spurlock managed to reach his
home and give the alarm, and q
posse. consisting OF several neigh
bors, started in pursuit of the scoun.
drels. They were soon overtaken,
forced to abandon the cart in which
they rode and take to the woods
The cart had been stolen from A. C.
Shriver and William Ashworth
whom they had held up and robbed
earlier in the evening. They took
all the money, together with coat,
shoes and socks of their victims.
after taking to the woods nothing
more was seen of the robbers till
Tuesday morning when they were
II miles southeast of
Gallatin, where another posse was
and started in pursuit..
The robbers headed north toward
small station on the Wa
bash railroad Coming up to q
gang of section men, they drew their
revolvers and ordered the men to
put the hand car on the track, but
before they could comply, their pur-
suers were close at hand and ordered
them to stop.
The robbers opened fire on the
posse and q lively battle followed,
in which one of the robbers was
severely wounded. The robbers re-
treated TO the timber not far away.

capture of the bandits, who were
to Jail at Gallatin. They
we're taken to Spurlock's house and
identified by him as being the men
who robbed him.
The doctors think there is but
little show for Spurlock's recovery.

as Robert jackson of Herman, Sa-l
