coffee.
The price is 4 pounds the 81.

Buy one pound, or 4 1-2 lbs.

and both acceptable to me. But

and that is do not put down your

these excellent properties have
given you a superb beverage,

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Regular November, 1902, Term.

Regular November, 1902, Term.
In addition to the proceedings
published in the last issue of the
COURIER, dispositionof cases was
had as follows at the regular
November, 1902, term of circuit
court at Keytesville:
CRIMINAL CASES.
State of Missouri VS.. j. w.
Cazzell, Jr., murder in first de-
gree; defendant valves formal
arraignment and pleads not
guilty, and Wednesday, Dec.
II, 1902, is set by Judge Butler
for defendants trial. This is
the case in which j. w. Cazzell, J,
Jr., shot and killed Edward
Thacker at Cazzell, in Missouri
township, Sept. %, 1902.
Same VS.. Sam B. Elliott, for
gerry; trial by jury, who re-
turn verdict of not guilty.
This is the case in which Sam B.
Elliott was charged with forging
ing the name of Henry Doerrie
to note for $3.50. In the year
1898 Henry Doerrie, German
farmer, rented what is known as
the John F. Whitesides farm,
2 1-2 miles southwest of Key
tesville, of Sam B. Elliott, and
gave Elliott his note for $3.50,
due Jan. 1, 1899. Either this
note or one of the same date and
amount was deposited by Elliott,
who was then constable and coll
lector of Salisbury township,
with Frank Winn of Salisbury as
collateral security on another
note given by Elliott to Winn
with Elliott's father-in law, the
late G. q. Dameron, as security.
When suit was brought on the
Elliott Dameron note it develop
ed that Winn also held Doerrie' s
note, given to Elliot for $3.50.
Doerrie pronounced this note
a forgery, and had in his pos
session a receipt for between
$500 ond S400, which Elliott had
given him and promised to cred
it the amount on the note, but
no credit was ever made SO fal
as the note shows. Subsequent
ly, Doerrie claims that he
paid Elliott the balance or
the note, took it up and tore
off his signature. 1t was
under this condition Of affairs
that Doerrie was induced to

swear out a warrant for Elliott 8
arrest, who, in the mean time,
had resigned as constable and
collector of Salisbury township,
and had taken up his residence
in Los Angeles, Cal, and it was
there he was arrested and
brought back for trial. That
there was something crooked as
regards one of these Doerrie
notes no sane man will doubt
for moment, but as to which of
them was forgery the state was
una BILE to establish at Elliott's
trial. It is claimed by Elliott, we
understand, that one of the notes
was only a partial copy of the
other, and that no forgery was
committed, as the note he turned
over to Doerrie was not signed.
Elliott also claims that he and
not Doerrie tore off that part Of
the note for the makers sigma
ture. If that be true then there
seems to be but one conclu-
sion left, and that is that Elliott
obtained money from Doerrie un
der false preten ses. The defend
ants attorneys, however, seemed
to care nothing about either
charge-forgery or obtaining
money under false pretenses
and stood ''pat'' on the
grounds that it had been more
than three years.since either Of
Tense was committed, and for
that reason prosecution was
barred by the statute of limi-
tations. Elliott has not yet
made good his shortage to the
county of something over S20C
on collections as collector OF
Salisbury township, and il
something is not done in that
direction very soon the statute
of limitations will also hold good
in that case.
