Salisbury the Suburb.

Our teachers, who went over to
Keytesville last Friday evening
and gave concert, report a fine
time. They were greeted with a
good audience and were treated
royalty by the good citizens of
Keytesville. We are glad they
were so well pleased, and having
been once entertained by the cit
liens of our neighbor city, we
can say from experience that
there are no more entertaining,
generous and appreciative people
on earth than at Keytesville.
This, however, would naturally be
expected, as she is almost the
very suburb of Salisbury.-Sal-
isbury Democrat.
While we appreciate the Dem
ocrat's kind words about Key
tesville people, we object to be-
ing referred to as "almost the
very suburb of Salisbury" Key
tesville was here Il long time be-
fore Salisbury was thought Of,
and if either town is the suburb
of the other, Salisbury is sub
urb of Keytesville by right of
Keytesville's priority of existence.

Largely a Joke.

Somebody said, we don't know
just who, that there was ball
game played between Keytesvile
and Brunswick at Brunswick last
Friday afternoon, in which
Brunswick captured the honors?
by score Of "a to 4.
But as Brunswick only had
two men in the game, we think
the Brunswick part of the victory
is largely great big, huge joke.
The joke affected six Keytes-
vile bali tossers, as they had
but three imported players.
We like to see friendly con-
test in sport between the athletics
of two neighboring towns, but
when it gets to be a contention as
to which town will put up the
most money to get men from a
distance IN order to win from
their opponents, we feel like
calculating: "Rats!" Let them
take ball players who reside with
in the corporate limits Of Keytes-
vile and Brunswick, and the
Brunswick boys will stand no
more show to defeat Keytesville
than a chicken has chances to live
when a Methodist minister is ex-
pected to dine with a favorite
family of his parishoners.

KEYTEsvIILE. MISSOURI FRIDAY, OCTOBER H. 1901
Death by Accident or Suicide.
Kimbrow B. Hopper, aged about

Kimbrow B. Hopper, aged about
81 years, living 5 1-2 miles south
east of Armstrong, met his death
last Thursday morning, but
whether it was accidental or sui
'cidal will, perhaps, never be
known, but the majority of the
people in that community incline
to the latter version of the sad
incident.
Mr.. Hopper first took down his
shotgun and said he was going
out to kill an owl, but soon re-
turned. He got the gun again
not long afterward, this time re-
marking that he guessed he would
go kill some squirrels.
This was the last seen Of him
alive. His dead body was found
only a short distance from the
trunk Of a large tree
not far from his home, the indi-
cations being that he had placed
the stock of the gun against the
tree, the muzzle against his per-
son, Immediately over the heart,
and then discharged the weapon
with a stick, shooting himself
through the heart and producing
instant death.
The flash from the pow der set
fire to and burned off all his
clothing and cooked the flesh to
crisp.
Mr.. Hopper was in comfortable
circumstances financially and was
one of the most popular and uni
versally respected citizens of
Howard county of which he was
a native.
If it was a case of suicide the
only cause that can be assigned
is some family trouble he had
about two years ago.
The deceased leaves wife and
one son and two daughters, all of
whom are married.

very roughly handled had not the
authorities saved him by hastily
arresting him on insanity charges
and getting him into Jail.
In the meantime the children
had been taken to the home of a
neighbor by James Alsobrooke, a
brother to Mrs. Stahlman, who
had come on from Moberly, Mo-,
and to whom the mother had CIV
en- her children on her deathbed.
The father had attempted to take
them away by main force, but
failed, receiving a well-merited
beating. While he was in Jail
Judge Gillett appointed Jno. Will
loughby as guardian for the lit
tie ones and gave them into the
charge of Alsobrooke.
A commission declared Stahl-
man of unsound mind and order
ed him sent to Dongcliffe asy-
lum IInan the ant eot;es Of bis
old mother, who had come here
from Pennsylvania, and his own
promise never to return to Indi-
ana, Stahlman was allo we'd to
leave town quietly by the author
tiles. The son, a remarkably
bright little fellow, was taken to
Moberly by Alsobrooke, and the
affair was considered a closed in
cident.
But last week Stahlman re-
turned to Valparaiso to get his
son. From the court records he
located the little one in Missouri,
and went there. The Alsobrookes,
by advice of their attorney,
brought the lad back here, with
in the jurisdiction Of the circuit
court, before he could take any
steps toward getting possession
of the child.
The case is in the circuit court
to give the uncle absolute control
of the child. Judge Gillett has
set the hearing of the case for
next Friday and the father must
be present. He is still in Mo-
berly. A warrant has been is
sued for his arrest as an insane
person, and Sheriff LaCount is
watching for his arrival, when he
will probably be locked up before
he can get to the courthouse.

The Criminal Calendar.

Prosecuting Attorney L. N.
Dempsey will go to Sumner next
Monday to prosecute j. A. Boom
er in Justice D. M. Browns court
for obtaining goods under false
pretenses. C. M. Hopper, a
Sumner merchant, is the prose-
cutting witness.
Ned Guthridge, COL, Of Key
teoville was tried by a jury in
Justice VIM. P. Jared's court last
Saturday on the charge of aban-
doning his wife, and was acquit-
ted. Instead of it's being a case
Of abandonment it turned out at
the trial, according to Mrs. Guth-
ridges testimony, that Ned drove
her from home with a meat ak.
Guthridge, however, denied that
he ever attempted to caress his
spouse with an ak, and says she
ran away from home Of her own
notion. Mrs. Guthridge has a
divorce suit against her husband,
which will be tried at the Novem.
Der term of circuit court unless
they should conclude to inter the
matrimonial tomahawk before
that time.
The case of the city against
Peter Fox of Keytesville, who
was charged with assaulting Geo.
Preston of near Pee Dee a week
ago last Monday at Phillips &
Sons livery stable in this place,
was dismissed when called up
before Mayor R. D. Edwards Sat-
urday. It will be remembered by
readers of the COURIER that Fox
and Preston had some words over
the price of several horse feeds,
when Preston called Fox ID
liar and Fox struck him. The
authorities seemed to think that
Preston was guilty of the first
assault by SO emphatically ques-
tioning F'ox's veracity, and for
that reason the case against Fox
was dismissed. AS stated last
week Preston pleaded guilty to
the charge of disturbing the
peace by quarreling and fight
ing and was let off with the least
fine that could be imposed-S1
and costs.

The Stahlman-Meyer Case.

The case Of Douglas NJ. Stahl-
man of Valparaiso, Ind, against
Mrs. Nellie Meyer of Salisbury
to obtain possession of Stahlman's
8-months-old baby boy, Marion
E. Stahlman, who was placed in
charge of Mrs. Nellie Meyer by
the little ones uncle, Jas. Also
brooke of Moberly, who repre-
resented to her that be was act
ing under the authority and di-
rection of the legally appointed,
qualified and acting guardian of
said child by virtue of the order
cf the obate court of Porter
county, Ind, was called in the
probate court at Keytesville last
Friday, but was continued until
such time as may be agreed opon
by the opposing counsel, c. c.
Hammond of Salisbury and
Messrs. Willard P. Cave and w.
A. Rothwell Of Moberly.
1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the cause will not come
up again for hearing in this
county, and that Mrs. Meyers
right to retain possession of the
child, for whose care and support
she is being paid by Jas. Also
brooke, will be settled in the cir
cult court Valparaiso, Ind.
Itseems that Stahlman has gone
daft in following the doctrines of
Christian science, and it is said
that his wife died because of his
advocacy Of curing her by faith
and his refusal to provide her
with proper medical attention.
The Valparaiso Evening Jour-
nal, published at Stahlman's
home, has this to say of Stahl-
man and his career:
A new chapter in the Stahl-
man faith-c cure case promises to
start afresh the wave of indig-
nant excitement which swept
over Valparaiso and this Sec
ton Of the state last winter.
Stahlman is in Missouri, awaiting
the calling of the case in court
here which is to establish the
custody Of his child, while Sher-
iff LaCount is watching with a
warrant for his return here to
press that suit. AS soon as he
appears in Valparaiso he will be
arrested and sent to the insane
asylum, and if he does not ap-
pear on Friday Of this week he
will forfeit all claims to his little
son. He hasn't much choice.
1t may be remembered that the
Stahlmans had been residents of
this city about three years, he
pursuing a course of study at the
college. He was a devout fol-
lower of cdr" John Alexander
Dowie, the Chicago faith-curist,
while his wife was not. When
each of their two children was
born neighbors sent for physi-
clan. The second time-last win
ter-Stahlman returned home in
season to drive the doctor from
the house The neither died,
while the child lived. Public feel
ing ran high, and the husband
would undoubtedly have been
Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1901-10-11

he drew his wages he turned his
check over to his wife, whom he
considered as being on par with
angels, with the exception of a
small amount he retained for his
own necessities. 1t is not strange
that the discovery of Mrs. Ra-
shaw's inconsistency has bowed
him down with grief and a broken
heart.
Following is the fatal letter:
