Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1898-02-03

The REGISTER last week told of VIM,
BrewingtOn's arrest at Des Arc, on
Wednesday of last week and his subse-
quent escape from couple of guards.
He evidently changed his mind as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of evading the officers,
and couple of days later came to
Ironton and gave himselfup. He then
filled bond for his appearance at the
April term of circuit court, to answer
charge of disturbing the peace.
BrewingtOn has been in trouble several
times the past year and is earning for
himself an unenviable reputation.
He had better mend his ways before
he gets in worse straits. A continuous
violator of the laws is sure to come to
grief. The other parties arrested on
the charge with Brewiugton, L. B.
Lowe, Jr., w. H. johnson and TarltOn
Lowe are also out on bond.
Bob Blanks, colored, the mail car
rier, had the misfortune to lose his
horse and buggy last Thursday even
ing about eight o'clock. He had just
returned from taking the mail to Area
dia. stopped his rig in front of Gross
& Tolleson's, and went in the store to
make a purchase. He hadn't more
than got inside before the horse start
ed for home-across the railroad in
the eastern part of town. The animal
rounded the corner at the REGISTER
office and started east on good trot.
Unfortunately just as the horse reached
the railroad crossing a pusher was
= x,F
and as the rig got in the center of the
track. horse and buggy were thrown
in the air By the fast moving engine.
The hore was instantly killed and the
buggy badly demolished Bob is a
faithful mail carrier-as good as the
town ever had-and he has universal
sympathy in his misfortune.
Rev. A. Carver of Pennington, az
companied by S. A. Orr of Marble
Creek. were callers at the REGISTER
office Monday morning. Rev. Carver
last week held a protracted meeting in
Liberty Baptist church near @. K.
Folks on Marble Creek, that is pro-
nounced a great success. The attend
auce at both day and night services
was vepR large, and it is said fully five
hundred people were present on the
closing day-Sunday. In all there were
thirty-two nversions-tweuty of the
converts uniting with Liberty church.
Nine were baptized on the 23d of Jan.
and nine the following Sunday. Rev.
Carver and the church people general
" are highly gratified at the results,
and say the meeting was in every re-
spect the most satisfactory of any that
has been held in that immediate sec
ton for a score of years. Rev. Car
yer will visit the church regularly the
coming year.
