A Cussing Match

We have heard of soldiers who
marched up hill and then marched
down again, but never until recently
have we heard of two civilians who
began fight on a hill, rolled to the
bottom and ended the battle in words
cuss words at that. Such, however,
was the experience of Capt. Louis
Benecke and John P. Randolph of
Brunswick last Friday. No bones
were broken and no gore was spilled but
after the roll down the hill the con-
fict ended in an effort to determine
which of the combatants could swear
the loudest and longest without get
ting out of breath or marrlng each
others physical beauty. Hcnors were
about even in this respect, but it is
likely that both gentlemen claim to be
vlctors. Naughty, very naughty, isn't
it2

Tuesday, Agril II, when 1t gave its
delegates to the judicial convention at
Moberly, May 22, the following in
struction:
owe endorse the candidacy of
Hon. c. B. Crawley of this judicial
circuit for judge of the Kansas City
court of appeals, and instruct our
delegates to give him their cordial
and earnest support"
We doubt not that Mr.. Crawley
will be given similar instructions in
every county composing the Second
congressional district and the Twelfth
judicial circuit that is a part of the
western district of Missouri compris-
ing the jurisdiction of the Kansas
City appellate court, with the single
exception of Livingston county, which
has a candidate of its own for judge
of the Kansas City court of appeals
in the person of Judge Elbridge ].
Broaddus.
Mr.. CrawIey has strong following
in several other counties, and the
chances for his nomination are second
to none of the honorable gentlemen
who are contending for the same judi
clal position.
Every man, woman and child in
Charlton county, who knows Mr..
Crawley, feels deep interest in his
candidacy, for such men as he are
the pride and admiration of their con-
stituents, and we all love to give him
honor, for in honoring man like c.
B. Crawley we all honor ourselves.

VIM. Smith, gentleman of color,
who claims to hail from Arizona and
who says he had been to St. Louis
with car load of stock, is in jail.
Smith stopped off at Keytesville sta
ton last Thursday and proceeded to
''get gay at the home of George w.
Wilkinson, and was arrested for dis
turbing the peace of Wilkinson's
family ay loud and unusual noise, pro,
fame md Indecent conversation, quar-
reling, challenging and threatening to
fight. When taken before Justice
VIM. P. Jared, Smith pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to IS days in Jail
besides the time he will have to serve
for costs. 1t IS pity there is not a
law on our statute books to take such
fellows as Smith into a back alley and
thrash them with a blacksnake whip
instead of putting them in Jail to pile
up costs for the taxpayers to liqui-
date.

what Old sawyer said.


Senator Sawyer considered himself
personally responsible for a Republic
an majority in Wisconsin and was
quite sensitive on that subject.
During the Garfield campaign / was
sitting one day in his simple office at
Oshkosh when a gentleman, then I'M
known. but now occupying a prominent
position in public affairs. appeared
with a letter OF Introduction from Mar
shall Jewell Of Connecticut, chairman
of the Republican national committee,
who stated that the bearer had been in
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur-
pose Of making a report upon the pO-
litical situation and the prospects of
the Republican ticket. This pricked
the old mans pride. He resented, in
his good natured way, the invasion of
his territory, and l noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter. Aft
er looking out OF the window for n few
moments he looked at his watch, hand
ed back the letter OF Introduction to his
surprised visitor and remarked with
deliberations:
There's n train leaving here at
o'clock that will get you into New York
day after tomorrow morning. and I'll
send up one of my boys to see that you
get aboard. When you get to New
York, you tell Jewell that old Sawyer
read that letter and said there was
nothing for you to report on. You
might add, however, that old Sawyer
asked you who was looking after
things in Connecticut."-Chica Rec
