there to Triplett and resume his jour
ney from Triplett to Keytesville by
rail over the Wabash. The conductor
who had charge of the Santa Fe train
failed to stop at Dean Lake, and when
Mr.. Buck discovered that he had been
carried by Dean Lake he asked the
conductor to back up, but marry" a
back would the conductor make. Mr..
Buck then demanded of the conductor
the privilege of riding on to Carrollton
and requested, too, that the con"
pay his way to Carrollton, but the
railroader said may" The train was
stopped on trestle about a mile west
of Dean Lake and Mr.. Buck was or
dered off. He got off and walked
back to Dean Lake and from there to
Triplett. BY the time he reached
Triplett he had grown so warm he
made up his mind to sue the Santa
Fe Railroad Co. for damages, and has
employed O. F. Libby of Laclede for
that purpose.

George Keuchler, Prominent Citizen of Near
Brunswick Drowned.
H. L. Mann, one of the COURIER'S
Brunswick friends, dropped US pos
tai card the latter part of last week
conveying the sad news of the drown
ing of George Keuchler by the sinking
of the "Rowena Lee" a Mississippi
river steamboat, near Tyler, Mo,
Wednesday, March 29th. Mr.. Keuch-
er resided near Brunswick, but was a
mail clerk on the il-tated vessel. He
was, however, making his last trip be-
fore being transferred to the Wabash
mail service.
His tragic death Is a severe blow
to his wife and children, and their af-
fiction Is made all the more hard to
bear owing to the fact that the body
has not vet been recovered from the
river.
Mr.. Keuchler was a man between
50 and 90 years of age and was held
in high esteem by all who knew him.
The COURIER bows in sympathy
with the sorrowing wife and grief
stricken children.

YOUNG GENTLEMEN ]. rs.
A Royal Entertainment at Sneeds Hotel,
Friday Night.

Royal entertainment al Sneed hobel,
Friday Night.
The J. T club was royalty enter
tanned at Sneed's hotel last Friday
night by the unmarried young gentle
men members, who did themselves
proud. The J. T.'s have had many
good times during the past winter, but
no gathering of the members was as
pretentious as the entertainment at
Sneed's hotel. The occasion was the
disbanding of the club for the season,
and the young gentlemen entertainers
had conceived the happy idea of re-
serving the best of the wine until the
last feast. Everyone was the gayest
of the gay.
A grand march was the first thing
on The program, and that was followed
by various other amusements-danc-
ing games, music, etc. The music
was particularly of high order, both
vocal and instrumental, and was
furnished by Miss Bootsie Gr1nstead
on the piano forte.
The supper was of the very best,
and consisted OF seasonable vivands of
both substantials and dainties, the fol-
lowing being the bill of fare:
MENU.
Cold Turkey. New Peas.
Tomatoes and Lettuce with MayOnaise.
Parker House Rolls. Cucumber Pickles
Pineapple Fritters, Cherry Sauce
HolIipin Ice-cream. Strawberries.
Cakes. Vienna Rolls
Peppermint Waters. April Fool
The ladies chose their gentlemen
partners for supper by following up
mysterious strings to the outer end
of which was attached a card on which
the name of her to-be partner was
written, and also had a souvenir silver
heart attached. One lady was so IN
fortunate as to get the card on which
was written the name OF her own
husband
After partaking of the bQy1sal
repast, the festivities were protracted
into the wee sma' hours.
H. L. Sneed, mine host of Sneed's
hotel, played an April fool joke on the
club shortly after ? O'Clock by pass
ing around some water containing a
small amount of wine and strawberry
The joke was a good one
and created much mlrth The victim
who smiled the sweetest when the
wine was passed, and looked the
blankest after he drank the contents of
the glass, was DR.. A. C. Seiser. The
only regret the writer has is that he
didn't have a kodak to make snap
shots of DR.. Seiser ''before and after
taking"
The guests of honor of the evening
were Misses Maud Smith of Wakenda
and Judith Idgram of Rothville.
Measured by the standard of his
own enjoyment the editor of the CoUR-
TER feels 1t his duty to vote each of
the young gentlemen members of the
J. T. club a prince.
