SURELY HAS COIN.

Bob Boatright of Webb City, who
is better known q "Buckfoot," Gre
ated something of q sensation In
circuit court a few days ago. A
suit had been brought against him
to recover an old judgment and
Boatright wac put on the stand TO
testify as to what he was worth. he
was asked by the examining attor.
ney If he owned property, to which
he replied in the negative; other
questions relative to bank accounts,
noter, etc, were asked and the law
yer finally asked Buckfoot If he
possessed any money to which he
promptly replied: eyes, sir, I have
$4,000 in bills, which I always car
ry, and I have 1t now, here in my
pocket. Besides that, have some
silver, too" There was no further
questioning and not a person in
the court room or any where else
doubts his statement. But mas
much as Mr.. Boatright can't be
made to disgorge money which he
carries ON his person, the judge
ment remaips unsatisfied. Mr.. Boat
rite doesn't have any the best of
country editors, however. They al

ACRES OF SNAKES.

The building of the new West
Branch railroad, between Karthaus
and Clearfield, has chased from
their haunts hundreds OF rattle.
snakes and copperheads. Until the
work on the new railroad began
that section of country was overrun
with snakes. 1t is 90 rocky that for.
est fires could not disturb the rep.
tiles, go that the cliffs and ledges
become the homes and breeding
places of countless numbers OF
them.
One gang of laborers in one day
killed AZ copperhead snakes and IL
rattlers. In travelling a path less
than mile long Bert Greesmeyer
killed seven copperheads. They ap.
peared all to be going in one direc-
ton. The laborers on the new work
are almost terrorized through fear
of the poisonous reptiles, for nearly
every blast brings snake or TWO
rolling down among them with the
dirt.
Some of the gangs have employed
men whose sole duty is to patrol a
prescribed area and kill the snakes
found therein. The men are afraid
to 60 to bed lest they find a snake
as bedfellow.
One of the men employed to kill
snakes in two days slaughtered 102
copperheads and rattlers. He put
them all in a pile, and the heap was
large enough to fill four barrels.
This man discovered one of the
dens, and inside of two hours he
had slain nearly 60 snakes.-Renova

Police Theories.

The police declare that Mrs. Bonine
is concealing many facts that would
damage her reputation. Here is what
they expect to prove
That Ayres and the woman were on
unduly intimate terms, and that she
frequently visited his room, both day
and night
That about March Ayres quarreled
with her on the ground that she talked
to others about his drinking habits.
That she continued to visit his room
during his absence, using her own room
key to open the door, and that one day
he returned to the hotel, found her in
his room, and, in the presence of Mary
Grayson, a colored chambermaid, or.
dered her out of his room.
That Ayers had been paying atten.
ton to the daughter of Representa-.
tive Weeks, of Michigan, who had Sc
cured him the place in the census of.
flee, and that Mrs. Bonine was jealous
Of Miss Weeks.
That Representative Weeks recently
received an anonymous letter in a wo-
mans handwriting attacking Ayres
character, and that he told Ayres of
this letter.
That Ayres suspected Mrs. Bonine
of writing the letter; that he was
greatly worried over it, and that he
had decided to leave the hotel on the
day following the tragedy principally
on this account.
That on the night Mrs. Bonine last
visited his rooms Ayres taxed her
with writing the anonymous letter.
They quarreled and she seized his pis-
tol which was lying on the trunk, and
shot him in the left arm. He tried
to take the weapon away from her.
but she was too quick and shot him
in the hip. As he was falling she shot
him in the left lung, killing him.
Then she fled to her room by the fire.
escape route, as already described.
The foregoing is clipped from one of
thousands of outside newspapers con.
tanning identical accounts Of the Ayres
tragedy. 1t goes to show that the To-
cal press, like Mrs. Bonine herself is
not reproducing the truth for home
consumption, nor the facts the police
furnish their reporters. The home
consumption articles are very tender
in touching on the relations which ex-
listed between Mrs. Bonine and the vic
tim Of her deadly aim.

A Workhouse Speakeasy 4.

The daily press published the past
week, without comment, the fact that n
speak easy" was discovered at the
Workhouse! Here are the headlines in
the Posts news columns:
"Speakeasy in Workhouse.-Georgs
Kann did Thriving Business, Cash and
Tick, Among Inmates"
A racy account follows, condensed in
to a stick full of type, about one George
IIann, the proprietor of the aforesaid
"speakeasy," and the equananimity
with which he is accustomed to hear
Judge Kimball pronounce thirty, fifty
and one hundred days Imprisonment
against him. In fact, George exhibited
"ghoulish glee" when ever he was
sentenced and he was generally sent
enced a few days after his release from
doing a term.
The Post thus informs a disbelieving
public Of the facts:
ut was common talk among the
court officials that Kann preferred the
workhouse to liberty. In Judge Kim
balls court yesterday the mystery was
cleared up. Kann was charged with
selling liquor to the inmates at cents
per glass, and it was even proven that
he did a credit business Of no small
proportions. Kann was convicted of
selling liquor without a license and
fined $500, or six months in default"
Now, what does the much libelled
and misrepresented Intendent Stout
enburg think Of his management, not
necessarily for publication, but as a
heart-to-heart talk, as it were, with his
libeller, the Sunday Globe?
Have the District Commissioners no
ticed the matter sufficiently to suspend
the intendent? We opine not. Moth
| ing short Of a public confession in an
Experience meeting" by Intendent
Stoutenburg will convince the Commits
siOners that he Is utterly and disgrace
fully incompetent to be at the head Of
either a charitable or a punitive public
/ institution.
And the Intendent will never make
this confession until our present forRl

military servants will be relegatet
