consequence, the elder Long and
Lucas had fight. Jonas Long
is a much larger man than Lu-
cas-, and during the melee Lucas
got out his knife, but did not use
it. James Long, who lives but
short distance from Lucas, seeing
his father and Lucas engaged in
a fistic encounter, went over
where the battle ragged, when he
and Lucas got into a pugilistic
engagement which resulted in
black eyes, facial abrasions and
bruised knuckles, but no serious
bodily injuries were inflicted. The
feelings, however, of James Long
and Lucas had been so lacerated
that young Long swore out
warrant before Justice M. N.
Rust of Mendon, charging Lucas
with disturbing his peace by
stopping him on the public high
way and quarreling, challenging
and threatening to fight, but the
affiant subsequently requested
H. B. Felt, the constable of
Mendon township, not to serve
the warrant for awhile, at least.
In the meantime Mr.. Lucas came
to Keytesville and had warrants
issued for the Messrs. Long.
The COURIER very much regrets
the unpleasantness existing be-
tween these neighbors, and we
hope that an amicable adjust
ment of their differences may be
brought about.

now are more men like Cunning

which their foresight shows will

the capabilities of the soil in
raising forty bushels of wheat and
seventy five bushels of corn to
the acre, which can be done
right here in Charlton county.

the editor of the COURIER to join

and Mr.. Collins parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Collins of Kansas

Kansas City, who is a sister
to the senior Mrs. Collins.
The evening was swiftly anc
and joyously passed in socia
intercourse and parlor dancing
At a late hour dainty and de.
licious refreshments were served
consisting of claret punch, cakes
waters, coffee, cream chocolates
and something else, the name oi
which we have forgotten.
Miss Mcdonald presided grace.
fully at the punch bowl, the
coffee was temptingly served by
the fair hostess, while Miss
Rowland of New York, an at
tractive sister of the hostess,
saw that all of the guests
were lavishly helped to that pal
atable ''something else,'' the
name of which we very much re-
gret our inability to recall,
Suffice to say that it was pa1
excellence, and the more one
partook of it the better they like
it.
Carnations, sweet peas and
American Beauty roses consti-
tuted the decorations, and Ia
dened the evening air with their
sweet fragrance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred M. Collins

that he had bill of that denom-
ination changed at the Bank of
Mendon instead of at the depot,
but that may or may not be true.
It was first stated to the editor of
the COURIER that 5000 was the
amount of money stolen from
Robinson, but in the warrant for
Waugh's arrest Robinson gives
the amount at S65. There have
been inconsistent stories about
the case, and the facts
will not be fully known un-
til they are brought out at
Waugh's trial, having waived
formal arraignment when taken
before Justice Wheeler yesterday
afternoon, and gave bond in the
sum of $500, with his father, j..
w. Waugh, ard Franklin J. Ellis
as securities, to appear at the
November term Of circuit court.
~
j. P. Lucas of near Mendon
was in Keytesville Monday
and filed complaint with JUS
tice D. H. Hancock, charging
Jonas and James Long, who are
father and son, with assaulting
him. A warrant was issued and
Deputy Sheriff S. J. Shaugh-
messy 'phoned the defendants
that they were wanted and to
come down. Accordingly Mr..
Long and his son came to
the capital Tuesday and gave
bond in the sum of S1OO, each, to
appear for trial tomorrow (Sat-
urday). All parties concerned
seem to think they were justi-
fled from an individual stand
point, hence that part of the con-
troversy must be settled by them
or in the courts. The trouble
had it's origin in the killing of a
bird dog, belonging to J. P.
Lucas, by James Long, who
claims that the dog was running
his cattle at the time he shot
him. This, however, is denied
by Lucas, who is of the opinion
that the killing of the dog was a
piece of spite work on Longs
part, because the animal had Bit
ten Roy Felt, huxter for j. B.
Painter of Mendon. on the leg
while Felt was engaged in catch
ing some chickens at Mr.. Lucas
about year ago. Mr.. Felt is a
brother-in law to James Long,
and for the reason that the dog
had bitten Felt, Lucas thinks,
Long killed the canine under the
pretext that it was running his
cattle. Long AYERS, however,
that one of his calves now has a
slit in it's nose which was made
there by Lucas dog. Both j. p.
Lucas and James Long vow that
the other made threats, and each
insists that he didn want to have
any trouble. Matters, however,
eliminated a few days ago when
Jonas Long, James Longs father,
took up the controversy between
his son and Lucas, and, as a

VOLUME XXI.
A Large Crop of Wheat.

the farm OF MoSSfS. Cunningham O
Cropper two miles south of Key
tesville during the past week, for
the reason that the harvesting Of
the largest crop of wheat ever
raised in Charlton county was in
full blast there. Five binders
in one field is no unusual sight
out West, where wheat-raising
is followed for livelihood, but in
Charlton county on land that
20 years ago was hardly con-
sidered worth paying taxes on
it is quite a big thing.
Messrs. Cunningham & Crop.
per came here from Oklahoma
two years since and purchased
what is known as the Neal farm,
situated south of the Keytesville
depot in the Charlton
river and Mussel Fork bottoms.
They have added to this pur-
chase until they now have about
1000 acres of land in one body,
700 of which are in cultivation.
After spending large amount
of money tile draining, ditching
and leveeing, the former two to
carry off water from a naturally
wet, flat soil and the latter to prev
ent an over flow from the Chari-
ton river and Mussel Fork creek,
which occasionally happened in
days gone by, they sowed a. few
hundred acres of wheat two years
ago which gave them a fine
yield.
Last year their corn crop was
cut short by the drouth, but they
were not discouraged by pre-
dictions of another drouthy year,
but went ahead, not doubling
that there would continue to be
ssseed time and harvest" They
sowed 400 acres to wheat last
fall and planted 800 acres in corn
this spring, and are now being
rewarded by harvesting a crop
of wheat the yield of which COM
petent experts estimate at 30
bushels to the acre. They
will be through cutting, if not
hindered, by next Saturday
night.
1t is recorded by certain BIZ
BILE character that he exclaimed
one time in wonder: ''Behold what
wonders God hath wrought!
A little change in the language
of the prophet answers our pur-
pose just now, and in order to
emphasize what can be accom-
plished by men who have the
enterprise, the money and the
pluck to spend it we will say:
"Behold what Messrs. Cunning
ham & Cropper have done!"
They have transformed a large
tract of bottom land that not
many years ago was deemed al
most worthless, except for water
privileges, into one of the finest
farms in the state.
Where frogs croaked their
merry songs from early spring
to late autumn; where green
head flies. black gnats and mos
quitoes shed the blood of man
and beast without stint that hap
pened to come their way; where
the water moccasin glided play
fully in pools that seemed pro-
vided for his especial benefit,
and where the more dangerous
rattlesnake was always found
ready to resist, to the death, the
invasion of his territory, is now
the abode of peaceful, industri-
Gus men and women, who find
steady employment with the pro-
prietors of this large farm.
Not only have these gentlemen
improved and transformed this
heretofore worthless land into a
well-paying farm, but they are
erecting nice family residences
in Keytesville that would dc
credit to a much more pretentious

COL, of Keytesville, who was
charged with carrying weapons,
to-wit, a razor, came up in JUS
tice D. H. Hancock's court last
Saturday, the state ordered a
dismissal, and Eddie was given
his liberty amid the smiles of
himself and his attorney, Ed. T

When the cases of A. M. Col
ley and James Johnson, the
Rothville druggists who are
charged with conducting drug
stores without being registered
pharmacists, and also with SELL
ing liquor Illegally, were called
in Justice T. j. L. Hutcheson' S
court at Rothville Thursday of
last week, the defendants
asked for and were granted a
change of venue to Justice John
Gladbach's court in Salt Creek
township. Justice Gladbach has
set Wednesday, July 2, as the
day of trial.
During the Keytesville- Sails
bury ball game at Keytesville
Thursday afternoon of last week,
w. I. (Jack) Edwards of this
place assaulted Thos. E. Ed
wards, who was catching Tor the
Salisbury team. The Keytesville
Edwards says that he assaulted
the Salisbury Edwards because
he was purposely and without
provocation hindering Charlie
Veatch, one of the Keytesville
nine, from reaching home plate.
We were not present and know
nothing of the merits of the
case one way or the other, but
as "our jack was not in the
game we believe it would have
been better for all concerned had
he corralled his pugnacious in
Clinations. This disturbance
broke up the game in the last
half of the fifth inning, the score
being, at that time, nine to four
in favor of Keytesville. After
returning to Salisbury, Thos. E.
Edwards had a warrant issued
by Justice j. r. Mason for the
arrest Of W. l. Edwards. The
warrant was served Friday by
Constao Die J. w. Grizzle of Sails
bury township, and the defend
ant bound over for his appear
ance for trial Saturday, but when
the case was called a change OF
venue was taken by w. I. Ed

the case will be tried to-day
