London, May, 2-An attempt was made IN
the house Of commons yesterday to get the
government to pledge itself to prevent the

Gently appointed by the admiralty to inquire
into the subject. The government leader. A.

such startling character could not be CAR
ried out without the grayest consideration, >
1t simply amounted to a proposal that the
government: should prevent a British subject
from selling his property to a foreigner. Nc

practice could not be undertaken lightly.
James Brice CrberaD, former president OF

to make prompt inquiry into the subject
Other speakers held that the arrangement was
in no way funratriotic. 1t was an alliance

Horse Stolen.

Ed. Maupin, COL, who lives on
the L. D. Hyde farm one-half
mile north of Keytesville, had an
iron gray horse stolen from the
hitchrack, opposite J. P. Tip
pett's agricultural depot, Tues
day night.
Maupin rode the horse to town
and started to go home at $3.50
o'clock. He went to the hitch
rack and found his steed there,
and then concluded to go back
up town to get some chewing to-
bacco, and was gone only few
minutes, but when he returned
the horse had disappeared.
The animal was tied with a
piece of binder twine, no part OF
which was to be seen after the

1902, and found to be a person of
unsound mind and incapable of
managing his own affairs.
Judge H. c.. Minter thereupon
appointed o. P. Ray, public ad-
ministrater, as guardian of the
said Longs person and estate
and ordered him to take charge
of same in his official capacity.
Long is unmarried and about "a
years Of age. He will either be
taken to an insane asylum or the
epileptic Institute at Marshall for
treatment as a private patient.
He has been subject to epilepsy
ever since he was 10 years of
age, and when gripped in the
clutches of that malady he be-
comes mentally unbalanced, and
his insanity is of a dangerous
type at times. He became so
r antankerous last Saturday that
he threatened to carve his would
be subduers with a pocket-knife
if they undertook to enter a room
in which he had locked himself,
but was finally persuaded to give
up his knife, after which he was
caught and bound hand and foot,

morning by Constable D. M.
Wilson and Justices Jas. G..
Wiseman and D. G.. Cupp, turn
ed over to Sheriff Veatch and
lodged in Jail. Long made his

Fridays Storm.

The strong wind, accompany
ing the rain and electric storm
last Friday afternoon, blew down
a great many fences, trees and
out-buildings, partially unroofed
several houses, porches, etc.,
and even invaded chicken-yards
and cruelty disturbed the tran
guilty of setting hens and re-
lieved a number of roosters of
portion of their tail-feathers,
which every rooster crows over
with so much pride.
Telephone and telegraph poles
were raised to the ground, aud
three box cars at Dewitt were
blown along the railroad track
about half way to Brunswick.
Window lights galore were
forced to give place to the terrific
elements, among these being the
window in the front room of the
COURIER building, occupied by
Mrs. c.. P. Vandiver as a milli-
merry store. Mrs. Vandiver and
Miss Jessie jefferson were sit
ting just inside of the room when
the window crashed in, but
neither of the ladies was hurt
beyond a slight cut to one Of
Miss Jefferson's fingers.
A. E. Jones of near Salisbury,
a brother-in law to Deputy Re-
corder T. V. Phelps, had barn
destroyed.
There is no loss of human
life in the county, and the only
fatalities to live stock of which
we have heard, were those that
befell j. T. Cooley of five miles
northeast of Keytesville and Guy
Hurt of four miles south of Shan.
nondale. Mr.. Cooley had a
Chester White SOW and Mr.. Hurt
two 2-year-old steers killed by
lightning.
Besides having the windstorm
it rained in Keytesville for II IL
minutes, but the water poured
down in such torrents that an
inch of water fell in that short
time, and was many times well
come.

fully determined that it will be
necessary, as there are a good
many negro children in this dis
trict who are not availing them
selves of an opportunity to OBJ
tain an education, hence there
are not as many pupils in the
colored school as there should
be, and the board regards it as
a waste of the taxpayers mon

are needed for our African
American population, many Of
whom seemingly do not properly

more useful and more exalted
lives.

horse was missed, thus making
it more evident that the horse
had been stolen.
The owner put in all day We'd
nesday looking for the animal,
but had obtained no clue to it's
whereabouts up to the time the
COURIER goes to press.
The horse was 16 1-2 hands
high, slightly crest-fallen from
fistula, and had a lump, made
by a collar, on the right shoulder.
Maupin values the horse at
500 and offers $40 reward for
the recovery of the equine, and
Sheriff Veatch will pay SIS for
the capture of the thief.

A Hornets Nest at Sumner.


Evangelist Miller, who has
been conducting a revival meet
ing at Sumner, was very bitter
in his denunciation of the evils
of that village, and was particu-
larly vituperative in regard to
saloons. He went so far as to
become personal in his remarks
and had an alteration with D.
M. Brown, mayor of Sumner,
whom he accused of having taken
money from saloon keepers for
his influence in their behalf; that
he had perjured himself by TAX
ing the oath of his office and
then not prosecuting saloon men
for violating the law. Rev. Mil
Ter is quoted as saying that Mr..
Brown was an old hypocrite and
that he had tow string for a
backbone, and also applying
other vile epithets to Summers
lord mayor, who retorted right
in the "meeintg- house" by call
ing the evangelist a liar and
a black-guard.
Mayor Brown made complaint
to Rev. w. B. Slower, pastor of
the church at Sumner, and asked
that the charges Rev. Miller
had made against him be inves-
tigated, and the matter will come
up for a hearing at Sumner to-
morrow Saturday. afternoon at
o'clock before a committee of
seven members Of the M. E.
church, and if the statements
made by Rev. Miller regarding
Mayor Brown are not substan-
tiated he (Miller) will be reported
to the secretary of the gen eral
conference of the M. E. church.
Tuesday the editor of the CoU-
RIER was informed that Mr..
Brown had lived in Missouri for
10 years and he says that he
never signed saloon petition in
that time, has not taken a drink
of any kind of intoxicart since
his residence in Missouri, and
that,o the contrary he has sign
ed every remonstrance against
granting saloon licences he has
ever had an opportunity to sign.
A great deal of bitter feeling
has been engendered in Sumner
over the Miller Brown controver-
sy, and the result will be awaited
with much interest.
There is no doubt but what
Rev. Miller has stirred up a CO.
lossal hornets nest, but it yet re-
mains to be seen who is going to
get the worse of the business end
of the hornets.

From a friend of the bride,
who formerly resided in Bruns-
wick, the COURIER learns the fol-
lowing particulars of the above
mentioned happy event: The
groom is an eloquent young cler-
gymen, who was pastor of
Presbyterian church in Northern
New York until last summer,
when he entered the mission field
in India. The wedding was an
interesting affair and largely at
tended by English residents,
missionaries, native Christians,
pupils of the mission schools and
children Of the orphanage. The
interior of the church was deco
rated with tropical flowers and
palms, producing brilliant color
effect The bride, who is a teacher
in the mission school, was gowned
in white organdie, ornamented
with fragrant orange blossoms,
and carried a large boquet of
Marshal Neill roses in her her
hand. When the wedding passed
out of the church, two natives in
their picturesque.costume as rep
resentatives of the native Christ
ians, stepped forward and pro-
fusely sprinkled the bride and
groom with costly perfume. This
act was an expression of the wish
that the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mattison would ever be filled with
sweetness. A wedding reception
was given at the we'll furnished
home of the happy couple where
an elaborate dinner was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mattison have ar
ranged to enjoy two-months

The Criminal Calendar.


Trial Twyman, a colored citi.
zen of near Shannondale, came
to Keytesville Monday and filed
complaint with Justice D. H.
Hancock, charging Clark Jacobs,
another negro living near Shan
nondale, with carrying concealed
weapons Saturday, April 26,
1902. A state warrant was is
sued by Justice Hancock and
placed in the hands of Sheriff
F. M. Veatch, but Jacobs skip
pei and has not yet been located.
It is also said that Jacobs fired
three shots at Twyman, but none
of them took effect, and that
negro woman was the cause of
the Jacobs-Twyman fracas.
jefferson Croft and Mrs. Fan
ME Nance of four miles north
west of Brunswick were arrest
ed Wednesday evening on a
warrant issued by Justice H. A.
Wheeler of Keytesville, and
which was sworn out by S. D.
Forrest, a neighbor of Crof's,
charging him and Mrs. Nance
with unlawful cohabitation. The
accused were arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Chas. Parke, brought to
Keytesville and taken before
Justice Wheeler Wednesday night
and gave bond in the sum of $500,
each, Croft standing sponsor for
Mrs. Nance, and Deputy Sheriff
Parker signing Croff's bond to
appear before Justice Wheeler
for trial Wednesday, May 81.
Croft is a widower, while Mrs.
Nance has a husband living from
whom she has never been di-
vorced. Owing to Croff's and
the woman's open, gross, lewd
and lascivious conduct a good
deal of ill-feeling has been en-
gendered against them in the
neighborhood where their iason
has existed.
Mollie Martin, a 16-year-old
dusky damsel of Keytesville,
went over to B. G.. Willett's Fri
day morning and asked Mrs.
Willett's permission to sweep the
floor to the family room. Mrs.
Willett's consent was given, and
Mollie completed the task, but
it afterwards developed that
she had an ulterior motive in
view and took advantage of an
opportunity to steal a silver dol
lar from Mrs. Willett's pocket
book, which contained about
S1.75, during that lady's absence
from the room. Mr.. Willett, who
is almost blind, was present at
the time the dollar was taken
from his wife's purse, but could
not tell positively that the negro
stole the money, although he
regarded her maneuvers as sus-
picious, and told Mrs. Willett of
his suspicious. Upon investi-
cation Mrs. Willett found a dol
lar was missing, and Sheriff F.
M. Veatch upon being notified
filed complaint with Justice D.
H. Hancock, who issued war
rant for the darkey's arrest, and
she was apprehended by the
sheriff and at once admitted the
theft. When taken before JUS
tice Hancock she waived for
NAL arraignment, pleaded guilty
and was fined $40 and costs,
which she is now serving out in
the county Jail.
