Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1899-09-15

with his father, ames Wren. and
brother-in-law, Elias Shoop, as secur-
tiles for his appearance before the
grand jury at the November term of
circuit court at Keytesville The re-
port which gained currency last week
that the Whittall horse had been found,
tied to tree up near Wheeler bridge
proved to be false.
-
Chas. Littrell, coal miner living
two miles east of town, was arrested
Tuesday by Constable l.. A Embree
on a warrant sworn out by Frank
Gamble, also a deliver OF black dia-
monds. charging Littrell with carrying
concealed weapons and with disturb
ing the peace of the affiant and his
family by quarreling, challenging and
fighting. When taken before Justice
!. NJ. DeMoss Littrell gave bond in
the sum of $Ioo, with F. P Burlington
as security, for his appearance for
trial tomorrow Littrell then swore
out warrant for the arrest of Gamble
on the charge of disturbing his Oit-
tren's) peace. Constable Embl ee
will probably arrest Gamble sometime
today, when he will be brought in to
plead, and have day set for his trial
before Justice J. NJ. DeMoss. The
Littrell-Gamble fraCas is said to have
had its origin over jug of cider.
John Sanders, the Dalton negro who
was arrested by Constable l.. A. En-
bree of keytesville last week on the
triple charges of carrying concealed
weapons, shooting on the public high
way and disturbing the peace of Miss
Mary Martin COL, was tried on the
second charge by jury in Justice Fl. a.
Wheeler's court at keytesville last
Saturday, was fined S. and costs for
shooting on the public highway, but
he did not have the filthy lucre to pay
and was sent to jail. The cases
against Sanders for disturbing the
peace and carrying concealed weap-
ons were dismissed by Col. O. P. Ray,
who appeared for the state, as he did
not believe from the evidence that he
could convict the defendant on these
charges. An amusing incident oc-
Cured at Sanders trial when Attor-
ney Ray asked Mary Martin, the
prosecuting witness, in what county
and state it was that the defendant
had shot on the public highway.
After some hesitancy and a few
''biushes Mary said that it happened
in Charlton county. She was not so
well posted about the state, however,
and when pressed by Mr.. Ray as to
the state in which Sanders had done
the unlawful shooting, the witness en-
barassingly ventured the assertion
that it was in the United States.
A disgraceful scene occurred at the
the burial of Mrs. James Duval, near
Mike, week ago last Sunday, just
as preparations were being made to
lower the coffin into the grave. III
feeling had existed for a year or two
between the dead woman's family and
Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Hunter. who, the
Duvals claim, had made some very
slanderous remarks about Miss Fannie
Bills, Mrs. DuvaFs daughter by a
former husband. Among those who

resecured his legs and bound him fast on a
travels. Only one horse out Of the six could
be got near him, and it looked as II the
bear would have to be dragged forty miles
over a rough country by man power. 1t was
about noon when We got him out OF the
pit. The effects of the chloroform made our
captive stupidity good-natured all the after
noon, and before we went into camp for the
night We had dragged him seven miles.
Soon after dark he began to file objections.
He growled, coughed, snorted and strained,
but he could not break loose. He would
have kept everybody awake all night, but
we had some Of the chloroform left and we
used it to quiet him down. Tt took a day
and a half longer to get him down to the
railroad station, and then we found we must
turn to and make a cage to ship him in.
By this time he was also suffering for food
and drink.
I'VE got six turns OF a lasso around the
bears body and to these we fastened two
chains and secured the other ends to trees.
Then We cut his lashings and got out Of the
way. The first thing he did was to lap up
about two gallons of water, the next was
to devour the freshly killed carcass OF a
calf. Then he drew a long breath and was
ready for business. The cowboy who had
bossed the tying-up job warranted the lasso
and chains to hold a herd of steers, but I'M
fortunately he had never figured on bear
power. OF a sudden the grizzly made a lunge
and snapped one chain as If 1t had been a
cotton string. Heave-strain-snap! went
the other, ten seconds later, and he was
free. We tumbled over ourselves to get cut
of his way, and I believe Ephraim fully in
tended to make things red-hot for the crowd,
but an incident occurred to scare him off.

before, and the hiss of steam and the shrek

went off with forty feet of lariat for a belt
and a good length of chain dragging on each
side, but he had secured his liberty and
could take his time about getting rid of the
ornaments
