While the parade was passing Mr..
D. O'Donnell's house in Pilot Knob last
Monday evening, some malicious
scoundrel threw a stone through one
of the windows. Mr. O'Donnen would
| give a brand new fve-dollar bill to
know who would be mean enough to
do such thing. OF course no one re-
grets the occurrence more than the
reputable people who took part in the
| demonstration of that evening.

Lee Usher met VIM. Beleher near
the sawmill In Arcadia last Saturday,
and after few preliminary remarks,
had ''scrap." Belcher's head, when

to about twice its usual size. He had

common assault. and was fined a dol

The weather Tuesday was about as
| dreary as this section is ever afflicted
with. The wind blew in strong gusts
| from the south, and chilled to the bone
/ all who were exposed to it. The sky
| was dark and gloomy, and there was
| just enough of rain to make outdoor
life unhealthful and uncomfortable.
| But Southeast Missouri consoles itself
with the reflection that it has the
minimum of that sort of weather, and
| hopefully awaits the return of its nor
NAL climate.
Waldren, the merchant tailor, lately
occupying a room in DR.. Farrar's build
ing, left for parts unknown last Satur-
day night. He had been on ''high
| lonesome" for several days, and per-
haps left in disgust consequent upon the
slim supply of red liquor at the forced
closing of his spree. DIR. Farrar yes
terday received a postal card from
him, asking that the things left in the
shop be taken care of until further no.

been posted could not be deciphered.
Stephen Lay of Belleview had q run
away-or, to be more explicit, two
runaways-last Tuesday morning. He
drove in from home that morning all
right, until he came to the IrOnton
station. There they were unloading a
lot of Shetland ponies belonging to the
St. Louis Ore & Steel Company, aud
| when Steve's horse saw them he took
fright and ran back clear up to the
north end Of Pilot Knob town. There
the horse was checked ard faced south
again. He came all right until he
again caught sight of the ponies when
he took another bolt. This time he
ran to the Knob crossing, when Steve
once more turned him toward IrOnton,
and finally succeeded N reaching his
destination. Probably because the
ponies had gotten out of sight.

courthouse square, and marched thence
to Arcadia and return, and then pro
