1t is absolutely astonishing how
much lead was taken out of the old
holes about Baxter years ago, as
told by the old residents and some
not so old since the new prospect
shaft has been started. There is
scarcely hole originally ten feet
deep or more about town that some
one has not seen lead come out of
in great big chunks "years and

about 500 people, though several

His neck was broken by the drop

THE SHOOTING OF GALLAGHER

THE SHOOTING OF GALLAGHER.
In justice to Deputy U. S. Mar
shal John Jones. who accidentally
shot James Gallagher while he was
attempting to escape, we quote the
following from instructions to Uni
ted States marshals issued by the
government.
Section 3. Deputies are strictly
forbidden from illtreating or sub
jecting to any unnecessary incon-
venience prisoners in their custody
or in any manner handwriting or
shackling their limbs, which will
only be permitted in cases where
the prisoner is known to be very
desperate character; but, OH the
contrary, they should be as kind
and obliging to prisoners in their
custody as the nature of the case
will permit"
We also quote from Bishops
Criminal Actions, which may be
applicable TO this case:
"One having custody of an arrest.
ed person should treat him well,
but may even inflict death to pre-
vent his escape where no other
means are available
Also from Grant & Chitty:
"Where the arrest has actually
been made, whether for felony or
misdemeanor, If the person
attempts to break away, he may be
killed to prevent it, provided this
extreme measure is necessary"

MONUMENT UNVEILED.

The unwilling of the monument
at the cemetery Sunday, erected to
the memory of p. c. Loomis, who
died in Galena nearly two years
ago, was an interesting feature,
says the Daily Post. AT the time of
his demise Mr.. Loomis held the
responsible position of grand chan
cellor of the state of Kansas, and
the funeral was one of the largest
ever held in the city.
On account of having no special
train on the Memphis, there was
small representation of knights
from Fort Scott. Girard, Pittsburg.
Weir City and Columbus, although
several drove from the latter place
and Baxter, while Webb City sent
good representation and there were
a few from Joplin.
The program as published was
nicely carried out, and, when the
procession led by the band reached
the cemetery, there were hundreds
of people already waiting there to
view the ceremonies.
After excellent music by the band
and quartette, the unwilling was
next in order, after which came the
address of w. +. Sapp, which was
highly interesting and was listened
to with marked attention by large
assembly, many being unable to
get near enough to hear the speak
ing. Mr.. Sapp closed with the fol-
lowing words,
"Then to the soul that has gone 10
that eternal rest, TO that immortal
spark that has passed beyond the
tomb, we dedicate this marble slab
and place IL on this little spot of
earth, where loving hands may
plant Gods sweetest flowers and
strange aud passing eyes may read
and still remember thee"

A HEAVY FAILURE.

The firm of Reddin Il Underhill,
at Fontana, failed last week. The
liabilities are mostly Miss Swnnnie
Reddin's, n member of the firm. and
will reach $4,000. The Peoples
National Bank of Paola is secured
for 5000 by n first mortgage on 555
acres of improved land--the Osnge
township farms. The Miami Coun-
ty National Bank has about 5000
which is also secured by real estate
mortgage. Fred Mathews of Fon-
tana has claim of 81, 400 borrowed
money, unsecured, and there are n
few other local claims. Wholesale
houses in Chicago, Kansas City. st.
Louis, Cincinnati and other cities,
hold claims aggregating from
5000 to $1,000.
Miss Reddin was an extensive
business operator and has large
amount of property, real and per-
sonal, including about $1,000 store
accounts. 1t is believed by many
that the assets, properly handled,
will pay out and leave her several
thousand dollars, She was engaged
in stock raising, farming. general
merchandising and mining. Her
failure is deeply regretted by thous-
anas of friends in Miami county by
whom she is highly respected and
they confidently hope she will pull
through all right. No one ques-
tions her honesty and uprightness
of purpose. and all simply say that
she tried to reach too far.-Paola
Spirit.
The firm of Bruner & Reddin
made an assignment on Monday of
this week. but its liabilities are only
$500. W. S. Norton was made
assignee and it is thought the store
will he opened for business in
short time. The assignment was
made for protection. Mr.. Bruncr is
in no way involved in the Fontana
failure.
