KEYTEsvu1E MISSOURI. FRIDAY. APRIL 13, 1900
Ksytesvills CalaboOse Burned.

Keytesville's calaboose went up IN
smoke and down in ashes last Satur-
day night.
There were two inmates in the bas-
tile at the time-Charles Robbins, a
white man, awaiting trial for a PLAIN
drink, and Bert Miller, COL, who had
been fined $50 and costs by Mayor
O'Shaughnessy for carrying concealed
weapons, but failed to perfect his
promised arrangements to' liquidate
his fine and costs, and was sent to the
calaboose for 60 days, which he after
wards threatened to set on fire unless
he was released.
Saturday night Chas. Robbins, an
employe of James Rice, who runs a
saw-mill out east of town, imbibed
too freely of the juice that cheers,
and while on a drunken promenade
fell through a front window light in
Sneed & Richardson's drug store. He
was arrested by Marshal J. w. Veal
and taken to the city's sin receptacle,
where his troubles were soon lost in a
heavy sleep.
About O'Clock Miller broke Iup a
pine box that was in the calaboose
and klndled fire at the bottom of
the door, but the fire was soon dis
covered ,,and the alarm given.
When Marshal Veal arrived, the
lower part of the door was in flames.
After the door was bursted open Mil
Ter was made to march out, and Veal
went in and dragged Robbins, who
was still asleep, out into the street.
Miller was escorted to the county
Jail. On the way he stepped in front
of the marshal, when Veal discovered
that Miller had piece of iron in his
hand, which he had taken from the
CRATE in one of the calaboose windows,
and as the negro showed fight, and
expressed Indifference as to whether
he live4 or died, the officer struck him
a blo2gS91 ser the head with his pistol
THIS sly BFougktsiiis obstrepe-ous
coonship to terms. He suddenly con-
cluded that he preferred living to
shufllng off this mortal coil, and sur
rendered the piece of iron to Veal.
Setting fire to a building comes
under the head of arson IN the GRIM
inal statutes, and will likely land Mil
Ter IN the penitentiary at the May
term of circuit court.
In the excitement Robbins awoke
from his slumbers out in the street,
and took French leave while the mar
shall had gone to take Miller to Jail.
Robbins was in town again Monday
morning, but was not re-arrested.
Veal says that he, with the assist
ance of others, thought he put out the
fire, but this could hardly have been
the case, as it revived again about
daylight, and made the work of de-
struction complete.
There was no insurance.
Steps will be taken at once to build
another calabooSe.
When taken before Justice J.. M.
DeMoss, Miller waived formal ar
and pleaded not guilty, and
in default of 5000 bond for his ap-
pearance before the grand jury was
taken back to jail.

THE NEW RAILROAD.
Survey Commenced Tuesday Morning Road
to Run from Brookfeld to FaYette.

to Run from Brookfeld to FsYette.
For the past five or six months there
has been much talk in Keytesville
over a new rallr DAD from Brookfeld
to Fayette.
N. o. T ate. who knows not such
word as fall in his lexicon, is the
prime promoter of the enterprise, and
several of our citizens have been as.
slsting Mr.. Tate in every way they
could, while others have shaken their
heads and have expressed belief that
Keytesville would never have a rail-
road any nearer than the Wabash.
The former are the class of people
who are always hopeful of good re-
suits, and are willing to back their
faith in whatever they undertake by
their might and means.
The latter come under the head of
doubling Thomases, who are constitu-
tionally, horizontally, perpendicularly
and diagonally opposed to making
any sort of advancement.
The former are made of the stuff
that instiIls life into and builds up a
town and community, while the latter
would be willing for Keytesville to
pass into oblivion with the dry rot so
far as they are concerned.
1t is the public-spirited class who
have undertaken the matter of having
a new rairoad built from Brookfeld to
Fayette, and the COURIER is Informed
that they have been given the as
surance by men of large means that
the road will be built as soon as the
survey is made and the right of-way
secured.
With this laudable object in view
Mr.. Tate has employed Prof. Thos. S.
McClanahan of Monmouth, ILL.,, civil
engineer of wide experience and repu-
tation, with a force of 10 hands,
started out Tuesday morning, April
10, to make the preliminary survey
beginning on the north line of the
tract of land, owned by Sheriff ]. r.
Dempsey, adjoining the corporate
limits of Keytesville on the northeast.
The survey will be completed to
BroodfeId and then from KeytesvilIe
to Fayette. Perhaps as many as
three different surveys will be made in
order that those who have offered to
build the road may have choice of
routes.
The following parties compose the
surveying corps:
Prof. Thos. S. McClanahan, chief;
A. F. Arlington, transitman; T. N.
McClanahan, levelman; Jewell T. Hill,
rodman; Logan Fooley and Henry
Davis, chainmen; Sterling Price and
Frank Lucas, head and rear hagmen;
James Harmed, stakeman; Thos. L.
Furrow, stake wagner; o. B. Ander-
son, general supervisor, and Sllas
Ewing COL, cook and champion cake |
walker.
The COURIER hopes that those who
own land along the proposed route |
will lend their encouragement to the
new railroad by giving the right-or-
way across their premises, and if they
will do this we think the prospects
are aattering for the new road to be
In operation before 'possums again
pull off persimmons and put them in
their pockets.
Three cheers and tiger for N. o.
Tate and the Keytesville, Brookfeld
and Fayette railroad.

HAYES Mrs. Anna Hayes. be-
loved wife of Benjamin Hayes, living
six miles southeast of KeYtesvlIle, de-
parted this life Sunday, April 8, 1900,
aged 81 years. Deceased was a ma
tive of Charlton county and was con-
nected with one of the most highly
respected families of Central Missouri.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John D. Locke, who were pioneer
citizens of the Forks of Charlton.
Mrs. Hayes had given heed to the
divine injunction, "Seek ye first the
kingdom of God" At the early age
of II years she was happily convert
ed and united with the NJ E. church,
South, of which she continued a USE
ful and honored member until re-
leased by death and called to her
heavenly inheritance, In March,
1869, she was happily united in mar
riage to Benjamin Hayes, worthy
young man and a near neighbor.
OF this union four children came to
bless their home, three of whom
Heber, Miss Blanche and Fred-sur-
vive and mourn their loss of be-
loved mother. A baby girl pre-
ceded her to the glory world. Mrs.
Hayes had been in failing health for
several years, and death did not come
to her as a thief in the night.
Before losing consciousness she
called her beloved husband, children
and relatives around her bedside, gave
them her parting blessing and admon-
ished one and all to meet her In
heaven. Thus has passed away a
good woman, who will be greatly
missed IN the family circle and
church. May the dear ones left to
mourn their loss be enabled to rejoice
IN the hope of meeting again in the
realms of eternal bliss. Mesdames
Hodge of Brunswick and Cooper of
Fayette, E. c. Locke of Marceline
and w. S. Locke of Livingston coun-
ty, sisters and brothers, and many
other relatives attended the funeral,
which was conducted at Asbury
chapel last Tuesday by Rev. J. w.
Ramsey of St. Charles, former pas.
tor, after which the remains were laid
to rest in the beautiful Asbury ceme-
terry to await the first resurrection.
