A MINING DEAL.
Some Audrain People Have a Law
Suit and a Joplin Nine.

Some Audrain; Sturgeon and Cen
tralia people are having a law suit
about a zinc mine in Joplin. The Cen
tralia Guard referring to the matter
says:
The sensation of the hour seems to
be the Joplin mine deal, in which it is
alleged that Mayer ct al, of Sturgeon,
purchased a mine of a Joplin real es-
tate dealer for $4,000 and sold stock in
same amounting to $4,000.
The parties here interested in the
matter are the W.. r. Mcbride heirs,
S. W. Downing and others. Those at
Sturgeon are said to be W. r. Mayer,
- Stewart, Canada Bros. and o. d.
Gray.
1t is alleged the mine was bought
for s12, 900 and the Joplin real estate
man gave the purchaser a check for
81, 900, making the mine cost but s5,-
600. Where the kick is only a few Of
the stockholders were In on the $1,000.
We learn that S. W. Downing in
a conversation with the Joplin real
estate dealer learned OF the alleged
81, 900 check return and this let the
cat out Of the bag.
We understand attorneys baye been
secured and a legal battle is on.
1t is claimed by Mayors friends
that the whole thing Is an election Tic
sprung for the purpose OF trying to
down him.
Those who have the facts Of the
case are saying but little, while out.
siders who know the least are doing
the talking. We have gathered these
few statements from current rumol
and II they are not facts we stand
willing to correct them.

Craven was never known to have a
sweetheart. so retiring was he by ma
ture, although he was known to be a
man of intense affections. He kept
company with no young WON an because
he was too bashful, and this affliction
he endeavored unsuccessfully to over
come.
Through Chicago matrimonial
agency he recently became engaged to
a young woman whose identity Is un-
known to Craven's family.
His approaching marriage worried
him. because of his natural timidity
This is the only reason his family can
give for tile suicide.
