Two Damage Suit.

4WO OamdSc 0u4tS.
VIM. T. Irwin, assign. Of
James A. Snyder, decease,u, has
brought suit against J. B. Dam
eron, administrator of the estate
of B. H. Snipp, deceased, at the
coming November term of cir
cult court to recover ST, 200 dam
ages, growing out of the sale of
48O acres of land in Triplett
township by W. o. Mcleod and
B. H. Shipp to James A. Snyder
May %, 1893. By right of pur-
chase from James A Snyder, Mr..
irwin, according to a statement
made in his petition, became the
owner of said land, but was sub
jectly compelled to pay Mrs.
Martha E. Shipp, the widow of
B. H. Shipp, deceased, the sum
of 81, 600 for her dover interest
i'll the land, and was also forced
to expend 5000 in attorney fees,
and it is these two amounts for
which he has brought suit. The
petition further states that the
said B.. H. Shipp's estate was
first administered on by G. j.
Via, public administrator, then
by Public Administrator T. E..
Mackay and then by Public Ad :
ministrator j. B. Dameron, and
is still open. Judge o. F. Smith
of Keytesville is MIR. Twins at
torney.
Mrs. Susan Fletcher of near
Brunswick has instituted a suit
against the Wabash Railway Co.
at the ensuing November term of
circuit court at Keytesville, in
which she demands $1,000 for
killing her husband, James W.
Fletcher, who was struck by No.
2, an east bound Wabash pas
senger train, while the said
Fletcher was crossing the Wa
bash railroad track in a lumber
wagon at Brunswick the Goth
of last July, and received in
juries from which he died the
next day. The plaintiff charges
in her petition that the defend
ant, by it's agents and servants
in charge of the said train, was
running at the rate of 40 miles
an hour, when the city ordinances
of Brunswick prohibit trains from
running at a greater rate of
speed than 10 miles an hour
within the city limits. Mrs.
Fletcher also charges that the
agents and servants of defendant,
in charge of said locomotive and
train, wholly failed to ring the
bell on said locomotive at a dis
tance of 80 rods from said cross
ing and keep it ringing until the
crossing was reached, and also
failed to sound a steam whistle
on said locomotive or to give any
other warning of its approach.
F. G.. Sasse of Brunswick has
been employed by Mrs. Fletcher
to prosecute the suit.

Fires

Tom Parish, COL, who lives in
the Charlton bottom 2 1-2 miles
southeast of Keytesville on the
Keytesville and Salisbury road,
lost his house and all it's contents
except stand table and a box
containing a few articles last
Sunday afternoon.
None of the family was at
home, and the first to discover
the fire were Mrs. j. j. Moore
and her son, John, of Keytes-
vile, who were passing by in a
buggy. When they first saw the
fire the flames were bursting
through the roof. John forced
the door open and got out a stand
table and the box, but as some
loaded guns that were in the
house began to go off about that
time, John wisely concluded that
he would be safer on the outside.
From the house the fire was
communicated to the smokehouse
and that, too, was consumed.
Other parties arrived in the
meantime and assisted in saving
the barn, which was done only
by hard work.
Parish is an energetic darkey,
and the loss falls heavily upon
him as he had no insurance so
far as we have been able to learn.
1t is supposed that the fire
originated from an imperfect flue.
~
The COURIER office had an un-
comfortably close call from going
up in smoke and down in ashe9
last Sunday morning.
On coming down to the office
that morning to shine our shoes
| the editor of the COURIER noticed
that the waste basket was full to
Overlooking and carried it to the
back door, emptied it's contents
out onto the ground and touched
a match to the papers, etc. We
lthen repaired to the barber sAor
to get a shave, and while seated
in the tonsorial chair we heard
the alarm of fire.
| On speedy investigation we
found that some Of the papers we
had set on fire back of the CoU-
RIER office had been blown by a
gust of wind over against some
| boxes that were near a rear win
Gow and had set them on fire,
| from which the flames had ex-
tended to the window and facing
on the east side and were making
Igood headway when they were
discovered.
| Fortunately the COURIER we'll,
with plenty of water in it, was
only few feet distant and by the
application of a few buckets of
water the fire was extinguished,
thanks to the prompt action Of
friends.
1t was a thoughtless trick on
our part, and we have been look
ing for the fool-killer to call on
US every day this week, but he
hasn't put in an appearance ul
to the hour the COURIER goes to
press.
The window will have to be re-
placed, and will cost about S15,
which was covered by insurance,
but we haven't got the effront-
cry to ask the insurance COM
pany to pay for the damage, as
it was entirely the result of our
own carelessness.

Death Of Jos. T. Hansman..

Our entire community was
greatly shocked and grieved last
Sunday afternoon, when tele-
gram was received by Louis W..
Hansman of this place from l.. D.
Applegate Of Kansas City, but for
merly OF Keytesville, announcing
that JOS. F. Hansman had been
accidentally shot, was at st. JOS
eph's hospital and for Louis to
come on the first train.
The 2:1O p. m. train for Kan
sas City had already gone, but
Louis caught the 3:31 p. m. train
and reached Kansas City at 6:55,
and went at once to St. Joseph's,
hospital, but found his brother in
a death stupor-in fact, he was
so far gone that he did not rec
ognize Louis and died at 1880
o'clock the same evening.
Jos. F. Hansman left Keytes-
vile Wednesday of last week,
where he had been in the saloon
business for several years, and
drove from here to Salisbury. He
sent word back to Louis that he
was going to Bynumville, but
seems to have changed his mind
for some reason and went to Kan
sas City.
Sunday morning Joe started
home, and when opposite the I'm
ion depot in Kansas City he step
ped into a secondhand store to
have two bundles wrapped into
one so as to be more convenient
for him to carry.
One of these bundles contained
a small, double -barreled, 41-cal-
ibre, rim-fire derringer pistol,
which the man in the store, to
whom the bundles were handed,
let fall to the floor, discharging
the weapon and the ball taking
effect in the inside of Jos. F.
| Hansman's right leg few inches
below the knee, ranging upward
and lodging on The opposite side
of the leg just underneath the
skin about 2 1-2 or three inches
above the knee.
The wounded man was taken tc
st. Joseph's hospital and L. D.
Applegate 'phoned for and phys.
icians summoned, who located
the ball and cut it out.
The wound at that time was
not considered serious as the bull
let did not strike the bone of the
leg.
Subsequently, however, it was
noticed that the muscles about
the wound were filling up with
blood, indicating that an artery
had been severed by the pisto
ball. On closer examination the
physicians learned that the main
or popliteal artery extending from
the femur artery to short dis
tance below and back of the knee
had been cut in two by the bullet
from the pistol, and it was decid-
ed that an operation would be
necessary to stop the flow Of
blood. Chloroform was admins:
tered to the patient for that pur-
pose, but death ensued either
from the effects of the shock, caus-
ed by the wound, or from the ad-
ministration of the chloroform.
The unfortunate young mans
remains were turned over to an
undertaken, prepared for burial
and shipped to Keytesville Mon
day morning and taken to the
family home, and from there con-
veyed to Brunswick Tuesday
morning, where funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Father
Bonaventure Faulhaber of the
Catholic church, after which in
terment took place in the Catholic
cemetery at Brunswick.
Jos. F. Hansman was born in
st. Louis April 15, 1864, hence
was 81 years, 6 months and 5
days of age. He came to Key

SATURDAYS SPORTS.
Attedance Generally Was Small-In-
cognitos Score Heavily.

The Hornets defeated the Artillery
team at polo on Saturday afternoon by
the narrow margin of one goal after
having conceded a handicap of one goal
more. An additional period was neces-
sary to decide the game. Towards the
end the ground became dangerously
greasy from rain. The mixers and the
Hornets now tie each other with a full
percentage i'm the standing of the
League. Attendance was slim.
Association football between the
Wanderers and the Honolulu Athletics
on Saturday at Makik drew a fair siz-
ed crowd. The Wanderers with one or
two strong men on the team were out
classed but played pluckily, capturing
their single goal by tour de force
The score was Honolulus 4 Wanderers
/.
Owing to the threatening weather
and Christmas shopping only a very
small crowd gathered at Punahou to
witness the match between the Incogni-
toes, practically the Punahous and the
Kilohanas or Male Ilimas
The Incogs ran away with the Kilo-
hanas and went through their center
and around their end whenever they
pleased, Aided by capital interference
the PunahOu quarter back made sem
sational touchdown after run of so
yards, while Kaulukou made several
others at short intervals. The score
was the biggest of the season, 80 to 1.
This is the last game Of the present
season.

THE GRAY AND THE BLUE.
A Popular Song Not the Blue ond the
Gray.

Gray.
The Gray and the Blue" is one of the
late songs by Ben Jansen that has at
tracted considerable attention of late,
being sung by the lady choristers in the
Territorial Band. The words by Ed
ward NJ. Weeks run as follows
HI LAID AWAY A SUIT OF GRAY
TO WEAR THE UNION BLUE"
Outside Southern cottage an old wo-
man bent and gray,
\ last farewell was bidding TO her boy,
Her husband wore a suit of gray way
back in sixty one,
Now for the blue she's giving up her
joy.
The uniform his father wore for what
he thought was right,
The boy had often donned in childish
play,
But when the Union called to arms to
fight a foreign foe,
The uniform of gray he laid away.
CHORUS.
He laid away a suit of gray to wear the
Union Blue,
He said Wen show that Dixie's sons,
Will to the flag prove true;
His fathers sword he girded on, resolv-
ed to dare and do,
So he laid away a suit of gray to wear
the Union blue.
A summer day was dawning when the
bugle called to arms
The camp awoke from dreams of far
away.
A Southern soldier fighting for his
country's stars and stripes
Fell dying in the thickest of the fray.
Altar from dear old Dixie and the
mother that he loved,
They laid him in a rude grave all alone,
And DER his head in memory there a
comrade from the North,
These words cut roughly on a slab of
stone.
He laid away suit of gray to wear the
Union blue,
He said We'll show that DiXies sons
will to the flag prove true;
His fathers sword he girded on resolv-
ed to dare and do,
So he laid away suit of gray to wear
the Union blue.
