An Abduction Case.

Quite a sensational episode occurred
in our sister town of Brunswick last
Saturday night, in which DR.. Salisbury
uf Kirksville, Mo, and Mrs, W. n.
Connor of Brunswick, Mo. are the
principal actors. 1t appears that DIR.
Salisbury, who came from Kirksville
some weeks ago to practice his pro
fession, that Of magnetic healing. had
been treating MIS-. Connor for some
slight aitment Her frequent visits to
his office finally resulted in their be-
coming enamored of each other and,
accordingly, last Saturday night both
skipped out, and up to the present
time their whereabouts are unknown.
w. H. Connor, the woman's hus-
band, came to this city, Tuesday, and
swore out warrant before Justice J.
NJ. DeMoss for Salisbury's arrest,
charging him with abduction.
Dr. Salisbury has wife and several
small children at Kirksvine and Mrs.
Connor also has 2 large family of
children.

Returned from the Pen. y

Bill Davie, who was sent to the
penitentiary from this place a year
ago last January for killing an old
coIored man, "Uncle" John Redding,
returned home last Thursday. From
the welcome Davie received upon his
return by some of the white people
one would Judge that It is ali honor
for a Keytesville negro to so to the
peniteDtiary. Guilty or innocent. we
do not believe such demonstrations
should be encouraged when the con-
vict serves out his sentence, as it sets
up a precedent with other negroes that
it Is not really dishonorable to 60 to
the penitentiary, if some OF the best
people in Keytesville will give them a
royal welcome upon their return home.
OF course the negro should be en-
couraged to go to work and live an
honest and upright life, but it should
be done without any apparent public
demonstration. His term in the peni-
Tertiary should be warning to the
other negroes, and the people should
make them feel that it is a dishonor.

Criminal Calendar.

Mary ] Ashley VS.. E. l.. Brammer
was the title of replevin suit tried
before Squire J. Nj. DeMoss, Wednes-
day of last week, for the possession of
several head of cattle. The plaintiff,
who is darkey living near Mike, said
that Brammer held deed of trust on
her farm for $500. which was past
due, and he was proceeding to sell the
farm under the deed of trust when she
gave him chattle mortgage on her
cattle as consideration that he should
wait another year That in a sho1 t
time after getting the chattle mort
gage Bremmer sold the land and was
proceeding to sell the cattle under the
deed of trust when she brought the re-
plevin suit Brammer admitted all
except that instead of giving her a
year he only gave her few days in
order that she might secure the money
elsewhere. The evidence was all
taken that day and plaintiff S attor-
Deys objected to the introduction of
the note in evidence for the reason
that there was no revenue stamp on
the note Then the case was con-
tinued until Friday when Judge De-
Moss sustained plaintiffs S objection to
the introduction of the note because
of the lack of the necessary stamp,
and further found that the old woman
was entitled to her property, and
rendered judgment for her. The de.
fendant filed an affidavit for an ap-
peal to the cYslit court, but up to the
time of goingFo press he had not per-
fected his appeal. J, T. Pratt and O..
P. Ray appeared for the plaintiff, while
Dempsey & Shaughnessy represented
the defendant.

for divorce from her husband, Robert
3. Lusher. and in her petition says
that she was married to defendant,
June 10Th, 1898, and lived with him
until June 28th, 1899. In that time
plaintiff says she demeaned herself
and discharged her duties as his wife,
and at all times treated him with kind
ness and affection, but that her hus-
band wholly disregarded his duties as
husband and offered plaintiff such
abuses and indlgnities as to render
her condition wholly5 unbearable. and
prays the court to grant her divorce
and alimony to the extent of her es-
tate which was used by defendant to
purchase land and property, and also
pleads for the care and custody of her
three-months-ol child, Pansy Lusher-
