HUNTER VS.. WABASH,
Inc Plaintiff in Jail for Perjury in a
Damage Suit.

Inc case Of Minor Hunter VS.. the
wabash Railroad Company, tried last
week at Warrentonr before Judge Z.
M. Hughes, has had an unusual ter.
mlnation, says the Warrenton Herald.
Hunter brought suit against the
company, claiming that he had been
put OH a passenger train by the con-
duetor and in doing so had been
thrown under the cars and one Of his
feet mashed off.
AT the trial he was minus a foot,
but all the men in charge Of the train
testified that no such an occurrence as
claimed by Hunter had taken place.
One Peasants corroborated Hun.
ter's story and the sympathetic jury
returned a verdict for 5000 for the
loss Of the foot and the indignity Of
being elected from the train.
At the trial it was potent that some
body was lying.
Tn company perfected an appeal t.
the Supreme Court. Investigation by
the Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff
Of Warren county developed that Hun
ter and Peasants were cumming
their way on the train and that Hun
ter lost his foot by falling from TIL
trucks while stealing a ride under TIN
car.
Hunter was arrested on the charg,
of perjury and he and Peasants havI
both confessed the crime. Hunte
has released his judgment against th
company and is now in jail awaitinI
the action Of the next grand jury.

Gives Reasons Why Mexico Should
Keep Out of Debt,

10 the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Dec. 81 know a
place where the city owns its own
light plant, bonding the city for
eighteen or twenty thousand dollars
for same, and the result is that it
keeps people from buying property. In
that town it has injured the sale
of property materially. l would sug-
gest to the people Of Mexico to keep
out Of debt. 1t is absolutely ruinous.
Better be in darkness than to be In
debt. Some things we know by ex-
perience; and, indeed, nearly, If not
quite all we know, we know by ex-
perience. Keep out Of debt. Again
say, keep out Of debt.

miles southeast of Benton City, got the
rich quick" idea into his head 70.
Gently and is now in jail awaiting the
action of the Audrain County Grand
jury on a charge Of horse stealing: IN
fact, be has admitted the charge.
Townley was in Mexico Monday
night and described a horse to Hisev
< Lee, which he said he wished r.
sell. He described the animal as a
bay gelding, 0 years old.
Early Tuesday morning Townlev
returned to Mexico riding a roan mare
and explained to Hisey s. Lee that he
mad decided not to sell the bay horse.
He asked $50 for the roam mare.
dropped to $50 and finally to $50. The
horse buyers were suspicious of the
negro and summoned Deputy Sheriff
James, who soon made Townley con.
Tess that the horse was stolen.
Investigation proved that the negro
had gone to the home of Henry Mar.
tin, 5 miles north of Auxvasse, and
stole the horse, which was tied to the
fence. The horse belongs to 7. G.
Martin, of Williamsburg, who had
been called to the home Of his brother
by the fatal illness of Mrs. Henry
Martin.
Townley also attempted to have q
check cashed for s75 with the name o.
Alb Romans, Of Benton City, on it
This was done at the South Sid,
Hardware Store, but was unsuccessful
1t is also understood that the negrt
raised a S. check TO SIS and cashed it
but this is not proven. The checl
which he is alleged to have raised, wa
drawn by Henry Martin for services
rendered by the negro.
