"A Former Meade County Citizen

The following article is clipped
from the Pineville, Mo-, Democrat,
and the Sheriff Edwards mentioned
is none other than our former citi-
zen and townsman, Joe Edwards,
who was section foreman at this
place. Joe moved to Pineville, Mo.
about 3 years ago and started gen.
eral store at that place. Last fall
the Democrats of Mcdonald county
nominated him for sheriff and elect
ed him by about 500 majority. We
guess they made no mistake.
On Tuesday evening VIM. Bacon
and Ernest Noel, accompanied by
a woman named Jennie Howard
drove into town. They at once be-
gan to "fll up" and about o O'Clock
that night proceeded to shoot up
the town. Later on an alteration
took place at the livery stable, in
front of the hotel, and Sheriff Ed
wards went there and told the boys
they must be quiet and leave town,
or be arrested.
With an oath one of them advanc-
ed upon the sheriff and snapped his
pistol, which failed to fire, and
Sheriff Edwards stepping back to
get full swing of the gun, proceeded
to strike him two blows over the
head with Winchester. He then
retreated around the wagon, and
some one cried "there's a Winches-
ter in the wagon, he's going for it"
and the sheriff started to follow him
when Ernest Noel struck him over
the wead with neck-yoke, bringing
him to his knees. Looking around
he saw Noel in the act of striking
him again, and fired, the ball strik-
ing Noel in the groin and ranging
diagonally upward, came out at the
shoulder. Noel lived about two
hours after he was shot. Next morn
ing warrant was issued but the
other two had left. Word was lele-
phoned to Noel TO L. w. Smith to
be on the lookout for them. Not
having put in an appearance. Smith
started out in search of the parties
and captured them on Butler creek.
They were taken to Noel and
Deputy Sheriff Tom Carnell went
there for the purpose of taking them
to the Neosha Jail, but an attempt
at escape was made and Will Bacon
was shot by the officer, one shot
cutting hand, the other striking
just below the right nipple, and hit
ting bone it glanced around and
came out well toward the back. 1t
is not dangerous wound. John
Bacon interfered at this time and
was also arrested, having taken a
shot at the officer, but without eff
feet.
Sheriff Edwards and posse went
to Noel Thursday morning to see
how matters stood, there being all
sorts of rumors afoat as to resist
ance. About q O'Clock the posse
returned, bringing the prisoners here
and they were placed under guard.
They will be taken to Neosha to
await trial at the next term of the
circuit court.
Our citizens universally join IN
giving Sheriff Edwards unstinted
praise for the fearless manner in
which he performed his duty, and
no blame is attached to him in the
killing of Noel.

writing today in the New York Herald, de-

The Senate has been the subject of much
criticism because of the ease with which a
tilibuster may be conducted there. Delays
are always irritating and sometimes they
defeat good end. But it Is almost certain
that debate in the Senate will never be put

The Fourth of March Fetch.

From the baltimore sun.
Every four years We ask ourselves the
same question-why We inaugurate cur
Presidents in March instead of May-in
one of the worst and most dangerous
months in the year instead of one of the
four years we answer that we haven't the
slightest idea in the world why we do it
and then put the whole subject away from
us until the Whirligig of time brings 1t
round again. The retention of the 4th of
March as Inauguration day is a curious in
stance of the force of national habit of the
tenacity of custom. Progressive and prac-
tical in nearly everything else. our con-
servatism on this point is all the more re-
markable. 1t is one of the few questions
about which there is no dispute and on
which everybody agrees. Everybody uni.es
in the opinion that March 4 is a bad date
for the Inauguration ceremonies, and that
1t would be eminently wise to change it to
May, but nothing Is done and We go on
from one presidential term to another with
out making any serious effort to secure a
practical reform that would save thousands
of lives and prevent innumerable cases of
pneumonia and other diseases caused by
exposure to inclement weather. The per-
sons whose lives have been sacrificed by 4th
of March weather at presidential Inaugural
tions would form a mighty and melancholy
procession of shades, and if they could
march in ghostly array at the heels Of the
customary parade of the living would Illus
trate most impressively the folly OF the
present arrangement. AS we cannot sum-
mon them back to pose as object lessons for
our benefit, the next best thing to do is to
appeal once more to American common
sense and see II it cannot be induced to as
sert itself In a matter which 1t should have
disposed of wisely long ago.

Another instalment of wretched Inaugural
ton day weather has come to add force to
the demand--now national in scope-for a
change of the date. The rains of yesterday
were due to the generally unsettled condi-
tiOnS peculiar to the season. The chances
of a bright, balmy day on March are too
small for comfort or safety, is shown by
the long list of inaugurations which nave
been marred by dismal, even deadly,

the Washngtonians. being on the ground

object-lessons of the serious danger of
maintaining this unmeaning date for the
great assemblage to be required to per-
suade Congress to move for a change?
The suggestion of a correspondent today

consideration.
