who evidently was not enamored
of John, informed an officer that
John had pistol concealed on
his person. The officer arrested
John and marched him off to Jail,
where he became a guest of Sher-
iff l. G.. Grimes at the county's
expense. Being without a cook
this beastly weather, Sheriff F.
M. Veatch adjusted matters Mon
day with Sheriff Grimes by tele-
phone and paid $3.50 as a com.
promise, and John was permitted
to return home Monday after
noon in time to get supper for
Mr.. Veatch and family and the
IA boarders in the county Jail.
John says he will not become
pistol custodian hereafter for any
of the members of Keytesville's
negro ball club. So far as he is
concerned all coons in the crowd
will be required to take care of
their own pistols and razors in
the future.

NV or 5; also 40 acres, the W pit
of 1t 2 in the ne qri5-55-17. On
the 40 acres last described Eli

. J. P. Tippett's New House.

The editor of the COURIER had
the pleasure Monday morning of
inspecting the handsome new
dwelling-house that our esteemed
fellow citizen, j. P. Tippett, has
just had built on his farm, a lit
tie over one-half mile distant
from the northeast corporate linn
its of Keytesville.
The building is modern six
room structure, with four rooms
downstairs and two upstairs, be-
sides large attic with mansard
roof and dormer windows. There
are also three porches, one above
and one below on the west side of
the house, and an alcove porch
on the south. Then, too, there
is a nice closet in every room ex-
cept the parlor.
The house is well planned as
regards convenience and attract
iveness, and is about the most
imposing rural domicile in this
vicinity.
1t is an enduring monument to
the skill of the architects who
built it, Messrs. B. A. Clarkson
and Cornelius DeWeese, who un-
derstand their business thorough
ly, and we gladly commend them
for their superior skill as me-
chanics.
We congratulate Mr.. Tippett
upon the requirement of such a
beautiful country residence, and
also Messrs. Clarkson and De-
Weese upon the excellent manner
in which they have executed the
mechanical work.
Mr.. Clarkson expects to leave
some time next week for Mel
ford, Okla, where he has been
engaged to do carpenter work on
large scale. The COURIER trusts
that he will meet with the emf
nent success he merits as a skill
full mechanic.

Aholt Picnic.

The editor of the COURIER has
expected for some time that the
disorderly conduct tolerated on
our streets, such as scuffling,
throwing potatoes, apples, clods,
rocks, etc., would get somebody
into trouble. We were not dis
appointed. Clarence Harmed
threw and hit Con Prather with
an apple, and when warned that
if he did it again he would get
slapped, he premeditatedly and
with malice aforethought ven-
tured to throw and hit Con with
another apple. Clarence's broth
er, Jim, undertook to give Con a
thrashing for slapping Clarence,
but failed in the undertaking, and
got the worst of the fight. If the
city authorities in Keytesville
can't or won't keep order, then
they all ought to resign or else
return the money to the city
treasurer that is paid them in
salaries. The people have a
right to expect their moneys
worth in being protected by an
orderly government. No arrests
resulted from the Prather- Har-
ned brawl.

The Criminal Calendar.

Boundsman Kincheloe and AL
eek Moss, two negroes, and
Boone Mckinney, white man,
were brought down from Bruns-
wick last Friday night by Con-
stable A. L. Cord and turned ov-
er to Sheriff Veatch and lodged
in jail to serve out a fine of S5,
each, and costs imposed against
them in Justice Chas. E. Finch s
court at Brunswick for jumping
on a moving train.
In the case Of the state against
George Vaughan, who was tried
by jury in Justice David Cupp's
court at Westville Monday on a
charge Of disturbing the peace of
B. F. Norman of Marceline, the
jury was unable to agree, stand
ing three for conviction and three
for acquittal. Prosecuting At
torney L. N. Dempsey thereupon
declined to prosecute Vaughan
further and dismissed the case
against him.
VIM. White and Joshua Riley
were tried by jury in Justice
D. H. Hancock's court in Key
tesville last Saturday for dis
turbing the peace Of Mrs. Ollie
M. Whitney of near Westville.
Both defendants were found
guilty, and their punishment was
fixed as follows: Riley, $40 and
costs, and White, S5 and costs.
The young men appealed to the
November term of circuit court at
Keytesville, and gave an appeal
bond in the sum of S10O, each,
and were discharged.
Thos. A. Gray of near Prairie
Hill was tried by jury in JUS
tice D. H. Hancock's court at
Keytesville last Thursday after
noon. He was charged with
threatening to beat and wound
Capt. Webster Nance, who also
expressed the fear that the de-
fendant would destroy the prose-
cutting witness fence. The object
of the trial was to have Gray
bound over to keep the peace,
but the jury failed to see it that
way, and promptly brought in a
verdict Of acquittal. Capt. Nance
seemed to be terribly put out ov-

ing Miss Minnie Bentley when
his case was called in Justice
Leroy N. Davis court at Dali
ton Tuesday, and Justice Davis
assessed Hayes punishment at
fine of 80 days in Jail, which the
defendant is now serving out.
Hayes, considering the vile SLAM
der he circulated about Miss

lady's father, James Bentley, and
her brothers.

tesville darkey who has been
lodging the officials for five or
six weeks avoiding arrest on the

1901, and subsequently swore out
a warrant for their arrest. One
Of the participants in the game
was tried by Justice Jared and
fined S25 and costs; another plead

three others took a change of
venue to Justice T. j. l.. Hutch
eson's court at Rothville, where

COSTS" sung to them. Practi-
cally the same testimony was ad-

George was more fortunate than
his associates and successfully
ran the gauntlet of the laws fury.
