The Enon Lead Mines.

Gen. E. W. Price, G. B. Craw-
ley, DR.. J. T. Dewy, H. G. Mil
ler, J. I. Carper, Chas. Stevens,
F. H. Carmon and w. T. Rice,
all of Keytesville, and A. B.
Price of Glasgow, who went to
Enon. Mo-, the fore part of last
week to inspect the lead mines at
that place, are all we'll pleased and
think the prospects of a fortune
for those interested in the mines
flattering in the extreme. Some
eight or 10 shafts have been sunk,
all owned by N. O. Tate and his
associates except the one owned
by the "Chariton Mining Co.."
composed chiefly Of Keytesville
gentlemen. Messrs. Gen. E. w.
and A. B. Price, G.. B. Crawley,
H. G.. Miller and DR.. j. T. Dewey
returned home, but DR.. Dewey
went back again Monday night
to make further Investigations.
Messrs. Stevens, Carper, Car
mon and Rice expect to get en-
ployment, Mr.. Stevens at work
in the mines, Mr.. Carper as a
general land agent for Mr.. Tate,
while Messrs, Carmon and Rice
will be on the alert for jobs at
their respective trades, painting
and paper-hanging and carpen-
tering. A number of parties
from distance with large capi-
tai are on the grounds awaiting
developments with the view to
making Investments, and many
have already invested. Enon,
just now, is one of the iveliest
places in Missouri, and if the
mines pan out as is expected it
will be one Of the most stirring
towns in the state before many
moons. The Central Missouri
Mining Co., in which N. O. Tate
is interested, has been incorpo-
rated for 100000 and "The
Charlton Mining Co." for 500, 900,
one-half of which has been paid
up.

Of Missonri's latest private cor

ufacturing and business purpos-
es, and a Certificate of incorpo-
ration to said company has been
duly issued by Secretary Of State
Sam B. Cook and entered of rec
ord in the recorders office in this
(Chariton) county.
The capital stock of the COM
pany is $4,000, one-half of which
has been paid up, and the object
Of the company, which is COM
posed of Keytesville gentlemen,
WIN Che exception OF Dr. JOhn ..
Wallace of Brunswick, is to oper-
ate in lead mining in the vicinity
of Enon, Moniteau county, Mo.

Change in Agents.

D. G. Sewers, who has been the
Wabash agent at Keytesville sta
ton for nearly three years, sud-
denly took his departure between
two days Monday night. Not
withstanding Mr.. Sewers salary
and commissions afforded him
quite neat income, he saw fit to
leave a blemish on his name by
departing without paying several
accounts he owed to various par
ties about town. Personally the
editor of the COURIER liked Mr..
Sewers, and we hope that he will
yet pay every dollar he owes
here. He had told us and others
that he intended leaving about
the 1st of September to accept a
position with the Union Pacific
as relief agent in Colorado, but,
it seems, to have suited his pur-
poses better to shake the dust of
Keytesville from his pedal ex-
tremities some IL or 13 days ear
lier than he had announced. His
wife and two children left for
Kansas some three weeks ago.
Mr.. Sewers has been superseded
as agent at this place by S. j.
Kennedy, who has been day
operator and assistant agent at
Salisbury for almost four years.
Mr.. Kennedy has wife and one
child, hut his better half and lit
tie one will remain in Salisbury
until Mr.. Kennedy can make
arrangements tomove
them over to the capital. The
COURIER trusts that Mr.. Kennedy
will be prompt and efficient in
attending to business, and that
our people will find him to be a
pleasant and accommodating
agent.

That Gin Flzz Story.

The cats out Of the bag. The
story has been told by Col. Joe
P. Johnston, chief postoffice in
spector of New Orleans division,
and published to the world in
Mondays st. Louis Republic,
that the editor of the COURIER
mistook pousse cafe for gin
fizz, while attending the national
editorial association at New Or
leans the latter part of February
and the early days of March,
1900.
We are not going to deny the
truth of Col. Johnston's story,
for it is a good story, true or
false.
But it's the truth.
The editor of the COURIER al
ways believed in making remarks
that would lead to the discovery
of knowledge he did not possess.
1t was this characteristic that
lead us to learn that a pousse
cafe was not a gin fizz.
And while the joke was on US
we found consolation in the fact
that other guests of Col. Johnston,
who imbibed at the same time,
were not really any wiser than
we were, although they looked a
good deal more so. 1t was only
through our inquiring mind that
they, too, discovered a pousse
cafe was not gin fizz.
1t is complimentary to most
Missouri editors that they don't
know great deal about drinks.
But what is worrying us now
is how we are going to be able to
explain to our Sunday school
teacher why we took a pousse
cafe, a gin fizz or any other
sort of a drink, except water, in
New Orleans or any where else.
We have a rod in pickle for
Col. Johnston for giving us away.

charge of gambling and fined S25,
each, and costs. The defendants
to the November term
Of circuit court at Keytesville.
These are the cases that were
taken on change of venue from
Justice VIM. P. Jared's court at
Keytesville to Justice T. J. L.
Hutcheson's legal mill at Roth
vile. The costs, we understand,
already amount to over 500, and
the end is not yet.
Herman Mcfarland, the young
man an account of whose arrest
was given in the last issue of the
COURIER on the charge of setting
fire to Anthony Nichols, negro,
near the house of Neal Hayes,
COL, who lives on Gen. E. w.
Prices farm, three miles south of
Keytesville, a week ago last Sun
day night, had his preliminary
trial before Justice VIM. P. Jared
of Keytesville Wednesday, and
was discharged, there not being
sufficient evidence Of McFarland's S
guilt in the opinion of Justice Jar
ed to bind him over to the circuit
court. 1t was thought at first that
Nichols burns would prove fatal,
but contrary to the expectations of
the attending physician, DR.. I.
Knott, Jr., it is now believed that
the old negro will recover unless
septicamia should ensue, which
is regarded as rather probable.
~
A man whose name appears
on the capias as ''Frank L.
Moore," but who signed his
bond, with VIM. and Geo. Clavin
as security, as ''L. M. Moore"
was arrested in the vicinity of
Indian Grove Wednesday by
Deputy Sheriff S. j. Shaugh-
messy on the charge of felonious
assault on David Minich of Mar
celine. It seems that Minich and
his wife left Marceline Monday,
August II, in a buggy to drive
down into Charlton county to
visit Mrs. Minich's folks. Just
about the time they reached the
Charlton and Linn county line
they overlook Frank L. or l.. M.
Moore Of near Indian Grove, who
had been to Marceline with a
load of apples. Minich drove by
Moore, who then whipped up his
team and started down the road
after Minich and his wife at
break-neck speed. Fearing that
Moore wouldrun his wagon tongue
into the rear of his buggy Minich
pulled to one side and let Moore
pass. Moore then slowed up his
horses and drove along at about
the pace of a snail, in the mean
time cursing and abusing Minich,
and also drew a revolver and
it around over his head
in such rude, angry and threat
ening manner that the hairs on
MinCh's head almost stood on
end and Mrs. Minich, too, was
i'll at ease. Finally Moore told
Minich he could pass, and just
after he had done so Moore fired
two shots from his pistol, both of
which whistled in uncomfortable
proximity to Minich's head. Sc
quel: Minich had Moore arrest
ed and if Minich has told true
story Of Moore's "wild West"
conduct it is quite likely that
Moore will be made to pay dearly
for his amusement. Moore's
bond was fixed at $500 to appear
for trial at the November term of |
circuit court at Keytesville.
