Kenneth A. Shaw I'm Trouble.

Kenneth A. Shaw, young man
who formerly lived near Westville, but
who moved to Chillicothe with his par
ents and other members of the Shaw
family something over year ago, and
has been attending the Normal school
there, is in the tolls. The Chllhcothe
Constitution gives the following ac-
count Of how and when young Shaw
landed in the meshes of the law:
Kenneth A. Shaw, normal student,
was arrested by Constable Blackwell
on two state warrants charging him
with assault and carrying concealed
weapons. The prosecuting witness is
E. F. Wieland, another normal student.
Young Shaw gave bond for his appear
ance for trial before Judge Barkley.
1.-The charges against Shaw are ser-
Gus ones, but it is said that in consid-
Grafton of his poor health and extreme
ly nervous temperament the court will
be lenient with him. The alleged as
sault on Wieland is said to have oc-
cured at Shaw's home on Dec. 4th.
In his preliminary hearing before Judge
Barkley the charges of assault and of
carrying concealed weapons we're not
connected, but it is supposed Shaw as
saulted Wieland with the weapon.
Shaw claims he is innocent and can
clear himself of the charges.
"From reliable sources it is learned
that Shaw is of a very excitable nature
and that he often has been made the
victim of practical jokes. Other STU
dents, 1t is said, have imposed upon
Shaw, and his arrest is said to have
been the outcome OF some trIiing
trouble between them"
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1897-12-24

The said affair is greatly deplored
by everyone in the community, but by
no one is it regretted more than by
George Ellis, who is dong everything
in his power to restore his beloved
schoolmate to his wonted viyaci-
y and congeniality.
George, we trust, has learned les
son he will never forget. and that
henceforth he will never again be found
guilty of that most despicable of all
contemplate petty offenses-carrying
concealed weapons.

Kicked 10 Death by q Horse.

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
M. welch of near Pee Dee was sad
dened last Tuesday evening by the
sudden death Of their son, Oliver, aged
about q years.
Oliver, with a number Of other par
ties, had come to Keytesville that day
for the purpose Of hauling out some
lumber to be used in the erection of a
new Masonic hall IT Pee Dee.
It fell to the lot OF Oliver Welch to
take out 4 load Of shingles. On the
return pip he fell of the wagon while
going down a hill just beyond the

country home Of Jos. II. Grisby about
seven miles north Of Keytesville.
Divers falling frightened the team
and they began to kick and run. The
young man was kicked on the head
with such force as to mash his skull
almost to a pulp where the horses feet
came in contact with it. He was also
injured internally by the wagon, which
passed over his PROSTATE body. He
was picked up by Andrew Weather
ford and Ben Littler, two members OF
the party who had also come to Keytes-
vile to get lumber for the Pee Dee
Masonic hall, and conveyed him to
the home of his parents some two
miles distant
DIR. ]. r. Gaines of Pee Dee was
sent for. but the patients injuries were
beyond the power OF man to heal, and
Oliver passed into the valley of the
shadow Of death between II and II
O'Clock Tuesday night.
Death is always sad, but is partic.
ular so when Its victim Is snatched into
eternity without 4 moments warning.
Truly has the good book said: "Ir
the midst of life we are IN death"
The parents and other members oI
the family have had their heart-strings
torn asunder by this, the worst Of al
Affections that can befall the human
race-the giving up Of near and
dear one to the indiscriminating and
unrelenting grim reaper. The CoURrEF
sincerely condoles with them in then
bereavement.
The beloved son and brotner's re
mains were inferred at Welch grave
yard yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence OF n large concourse of sym
pathizing neighbors, friends and rel
atives.

Accidentally Shot

we'learn from "Uncle Jim" Robin
son of Clark township the particulars
of 4 deplorable and shocking tragedy,
which occurred on the Westville pub
lie school grounds last Friday at noon,
the particulars of which are as follows
George Ellis, a son Of Wesley Ellis
the Westville merchant, and Harvey
Ellis, n son of John Ellis, farmer liv-
ing Ia miles southwest of West
vile, are bosom friends and are both
about 10 years Of age. Although Of the
same name they are not related.
The westville public school is
taught by {. P. Cloyd, and George
and Harvey Ellis are two Of his pupils.
Last Friday during the noon hour
George and Harvey started on a run
to an clubhouse on the school grounds,
but George reached the house first,
and when Harvey came up George
drew 4 72-calibre revolver from his
pocket to "snap" the weapon at his
schoolmate, supposing that the two
loaded chambers that were in the re-
volver were on the lower side Of the
cylinder, but alas, when the trigger
was pulled an explosion followed and
leaden ball crashed through Harvey
Ellis sksll about four inches above
the right ear and an inch or more out
Of line above the ear in the direction Of
the forehead. Seeing what he had
done George Ellis grief can better be
imagined than described.
DIR. c. o. West, the village physi-
clan, was hastily summoned, and the
unfortunate young man was conveyed
to his home in a sled by John Robin.

West and other sympathizing neigh.
bors and friends.

West, Knott and Putnam trephinec
the skull and removed the shattered
pieces OF bone, but failed to locate the
ball which they say ranged downward
and give it as their opinion that j
lodged back of the right eye, which
IS very much swollen and paralyzed tC
such an extent that Harvey canno
open it.
His condition is very precarious
and his recovery would be considered
almost n miracle. He is in gooC
hands, however, and everything i
being done for him that medical skill
can do.
