The Missouri Man Did Not Kill Three
 MeXicans at Fl Paso.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Aug. 1S.-A sen sational story was sprung by a St. Joseph paper to the effect that young man by the name of James F. Howard, a former resident of this city, had en- gagged several dozen Mexicans or more in deadly combat on a train of the Mexican Central and was now in the hospital at Juarez, is pronounced an absolute canard by a dispatch from that point. Hhe story was played for scoop" for about three columns, and details of authority were carefully worked in. Altogether it is one of the biggest sensations that has occurred on the territory of the reporter who is doing Cenaral and South America and other places on the map, but the of f1cials involved evidently fail to see the humor of the story, for here is what a dispatch from the Associated Press has to say on the matter:
 EEL PASO, Tex, Aug. 1S-The tel egram from St. Joseph, Mo-, contain ing a sensational story about one Howard having killed three Mexicans and saving a Mexican Central train from being wrecked and that Howard was now in the Juarez, Mexico, hos pital unconscious from the effects of two bullets in his body, is an absolute canard United States Consul Belford at Juarez, to whom the information is attributed, states he knows absolutely nothing about the matter"

CHICKEN T'HIEF.
How Fort Scott Drake Manages to
 Get Square Meal.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Aug. 1S.-Mrs. B. c. Barr, who resides at 748 Horton street, is the possessor of a drake that has recently developed remarkable cannibalistic proclivities.
 For some time Mrs. Barr has missed little chickens and was unable to tell what became of them. Saturday, however, the mystery was solved. Happening out in the yard she noticed large white drake struggling with something and upon investigation was greatly astonished to see that it had a two weeks old chicken partly swal- lowed. It was quite evident that the chicken was already dead and she de- termined to watch the drake in his ef- forts to swallow his meal The chick en caused him some trouble, but he was equal to the emergency and wad- dled to a little pond where he dipped the chicken in the water, after which it went down with ease The remark able occurrence was witnessed by sev- eral persons, all of whom vouch for the truthfulness of the story.

 for Injuries Sustained.

KANSAS OlTY, Kan, Aug. 1S.-Miss Maggie Harris has brought suit in the court of common pleas against the Metropolitan Water company and Kansas City, Kan, for $10,000 damages.

She says there were no danger signals displayed, and that the accident was solely due to the negli- gence of the company and city in not putting up some kind of a warning.

Laurnum Notes.

At the last meeting OF the village coun.
Gil the question OF a much-needed system
oil sewerage came up for discussion and
the first steps in the direction OF such a
system were taken. or course, the coun.
ell cannot go ahead with the matter
without the approval OF the voters and
it will probably be put to a vote Of the
citizens at the next regular election.
The council decided, however, to engage
MIR. Charles F. Loveth, OF Minneapolis,
the civil engineer who laid out the sewer
age system in Red Jacket village, to
make a preliminary survey and estimate
oil the cost OF such system for Laurium.
Mr. Loyeth has been communicated with
and is expected here in short time.
No doubt in the minds OF the villagers
that such system is needed, but the
cost has also to be considered and the
question may arise as to the advisablity
OF such action under the present circum-
stances.
Dominick Borgo has resigned his posi-
ton with Johnson Vivian, Jr. & Co. in
the Laurium store and will shortly en-.

Late John Hamilton.
A Story BY Him That
Has Just Lately
Appeared.
Laurium Council In Session.
They Discuss the Question OF Having
n BETTER Sewerage system for
the VI Iage.

The following. which has been brought
to the surface by the death OF Governor
Jerome, will, we think, bear repeating,
particularly in community where the
memory of the Rev. John Hamilton is
held in such great respect The story as
told by the reyerand gentleman, and
which has only lately made it's appear
ance in print, is as follows:
There was great coward in the
regiment" said Captain John, "who
became notorious by Blinking to the rear

mark that II was captain of that CON-
paDy the coward would be in the battles

but TO no purpose; then jumped on to
him and gave him a good pummeling
with my fists.
The next day private OF my CON-
pany saw the cowardly poltroon slip
INTO clump OF bushes and deliberately
shoot on his fingers with a revolver. He
was drummed out OF the regiment and
lost track oil him until he applied for a
pension on account OF losing his fingers. |
