In the year Of grace 1853 ono ia

proud of his work that be read 10 TO
his neighbors- Two young lady
friends lived next door. and Starr
read his diary TO them every even
ing. The girls enjoyed it very much
and repeated tho contents Of the
document to their beaus.
All this made its work. The
points in the Starr biography were
duly quoted The young men about
town discussed the matter. and 10
was soon decided that Starr was n
public enemy who deserved the
worst punishment So Jacob Starr
was watched. Leading Confedera'es
were consulted, and they agreed
that he ought 20 be hanged or shot
But tho innocent went on writing
and reading. and it never occurred
10 him that no was in any danger
Starr wrote down the impressions
of the people as sherman advanced
and laughed over it. Then he took
his diary next door and read it 70
the young ladies. After that every.
body laughed over IT, The town
boys especially were hilarious.
There was n general demand for
something more from the pen Of ia.
cob Starr. Mr.. Starr promptly re-
sponded. His diary was produced
whenever il was demanded. and II
Is needless to say that it was enthu.
siastically received.
One night the town boys got to-
gethgr. They looked over the Starr
diary. paid him a call and then
strung him up TO a tree down by the

Burned Bridge Near Enid.

The bridge of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific rail
road over Boggy creek, in this
city, at 1890 yesterday morn
ing, was found to be on fire. A
timely alarm and the active eff
forts of the citizens prevented
serious damage. 1t is supposed
to have been the work of an
incendiary, evidently for the
purpose of provoking a renewal
of hOstilities between the city
and railroad company; but the
prompt work of the citizens
shows their good faith i'm keep

They Deny the Charge.
81. Lonis. Nov. s. 1s96.

Referring to the articles that
the Post-Dlspatch has given
special prominence in their is
sues of Nov. 4 and 5. giving
reasons for the discharge of one
Frank Cox, formerly in our
employ, we have this statement
to make, namely: That neither
Frank Cox nor any of our help
has ever been hired on account
of their political belief, and we
make the positive statement,
that we have never discharged
him nor any of our employees
for the reasons mentioned.
Many of my most intimate
friends are ardent advocates of
the Chicago platform, and IA
vor an act providing for the free
coinage Of silver; hence, il
would be absurd for me to
abuse my friends for their po-
litical opinions. We now have
men in our employ who be-
lieved, and probably still be-
lieve, in the principles enunci-
ated in the Chicago. platform,
We have placed no obstacle in
their way to cast their vote ac-
cording to what they believe to
be right-we admire them fol
their courage They will con
tinue in our employ as long as
they behave as gentlemen and
satisfactorily perform their re-
spective duties.
