SHOT FOR A DEER.
Twice a Target for Careless Hunters
Seriously Wounded.


Seriously Wounded.
wiiliam ID. W llaon, OF Ellsworth Fall,
was accidentally shot through the thigh
while hunting ia the vicinity OF Spec
pond In Aurora last Wednesday.
Wilson was standing with his foot on a
rock or knoll. and the bullet struck on
the outside OF the upper third OF his
thigh. passing through the feshy part
and coming out on the Inside, causing a
severe flesh wound.
There appears TO be a question a. to who
tred the bullet, and as yet no blame has
been attached to anybody.
Wilson was able TO walk part of the
way out OF the woods, and to ride on a
blackboard TO bis home, although the
distance was some thirty miles, and he
was weak from loss OF blood.
DIR. A. q. Hsgerthy dressed the wound,
and DIR. J. r. Manning was called In con-
sultstion. No evidence OF blood poison
ing has yet been found, and a complete
recovery Is looked for.
Wilson was accidentally shot last year
by = companion while hunting, the bullet
passing through bis right forearm. He
has only partially recovered the use OF
this member.
One OF Wilson's friends has warned
him to "bewsre OF the third time".
Wilson himself says that he win not 20
hunting hereafter; he has been "the
game" times enough.

Wake Up!

The COURIER believes in enter
prise, push and progress, but
when we look over our adver-
tising columns and find that we
have not a single dry goods,
grocery or clothing advertise
ment, we are made to realize that
the man who advocates goth
century business customs in
Keytesville is apt. to find himself
mighty lonesome.
This want of up-to- dateness
on the part of many of our mer-
chants is killing Keytesville
commercially and driving trade
to more enterprising cities and
towns.
You non advertising fellows
will wake up from your Rip Van
Winkle snooze some of these days
and find that your business has
gone where the woodbine twineth
and the whangdoodle singeth his
doleful notes.
You should either keep UP
with the procession of modern
business methods or else crawl
in your hole and then pull the
orifice in after you.
AS matters now stand you are
just about dead enough to be
buried, and an undertaken is
liable to call on you for job at
any moment and he ought to
get it.
There is not county seat on
top of dirt whose merchants do
as little advertising as right here
in Keytesville. They seem to
be utterly lost, and unless they
show up their business with the
light of advertising they will
never be able to find their way
out of the wilderness in which
their non-progressiveness has
landed them.

Killed by Lightning.

One of the saddest deaths we
have been called upon to chron-
icle is that of Miss Clara Isabel
Cash, which occurred Saturday
eqening about 5 O'Clock by fight
ming striking her at the home of
her father, j. N. Cash, some five
miles northeast of Keytesville.
Miss Clara had gone to the
we'll to draw a bucket of water
and was stricken down by a bolt
of electricity, which struck a
large tree that stood by the well.
After the lightning had struck
the tree, her father, supposing
the house had been struck, went
out to investigate and found his
daughter where she had fallen,
the hair burned on one side of
her head and one shoe torn from
her foot, while her flesh was bhs-
tered nearly all over her body,
but no bones were broken.
Miss Clara Cash was born July
Il, 1875, and was 25 years, S
months and 26 days old. Her
sudden and untimely death is a
severe blow to the family for it
is the second death that has
invaded this home in the past five
months, the mother having de-
parted this life last February.
Miss Clara, although taken
from earth in an instant without
moments warning was pre-
pared for the change, having
profe ssed faith in her Savior
some five years ago and united
with the Baptist church and had
Ii we'd a consistent Christian life
ever since. She numbered her
friends by the scope of her ac-
uaintances.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the family residence
by Rev. j. L. Routt, after which
the remains were tenderly laid to
rest in the Bennett graveyard
being followed to their last rest
ing place by a large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and
friends.
We extend the hand Of SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.

Horse Stolen.

Taylor Harold, COL, of Key
tesville had a mare stolen from
his stable lot some time during
Monday night, June 8.
Taylor had ridden the animal
down to see Giles McCollum, the
sawmill man, about getting some
lumber, and returned home about
10 o'clock at night, and as the
stable was muddy the mare was
turned loose in the lot, but next
morning could not be found, and
as all of the gates were closed
and the animal was not disposed
to jump, Taylor very naturally
concluded that his mare had been
stolen.
She is described as being bay
mare, 5 years old, about Is hands
high with a star in her fore
head, and had two wire cuts run
ming lengthwise along her left
side that have not yet healed.
Taylor offers $40 reward for
information leading to her re-
covery, and $40 for the arrest
and conviction of the thief.
The only clue that has been
obtained 80 far was given by a
party who thinks he saw a man
riding mare, answering the de-
scription of the one stolen from
Taylor, several miles north OF
Keytesville at an early hour
Tuesday morning.
Taylor bought the mare at j.
B. Beissel's sale near Mike last
spring for SOB.

to be divided among my children,
who may then be living, each
one to have an equal share. It

among my children, who may
then be living"
The will was made May II,
1902, and the testator's sigma

Chapman Bros.

vile last Saturday, found guilty |
Of unlawful Capitalization and
fined ST, each, and costs. The
defendants appealed to the No
vember term of circuit court at
Keytesville, and gave an appeal
bond. The testimony showed
a very plain case of guilt on the
part of Croft and Mrs. Nance,
and some surprise was expressed
at the leniency of the jury. The
general concensus of opinion
seems to be that both would have
acted wisely by paying the fine
of 81 and trimmings. Much bit
ter feeling has been engendered
in the neighborhood against this
man and this woman, who have
been amazingly bold in their il
icit relations. At the trial last
Saturday the defendants were
represented by J. A. Collet and
the state by Prosecuting Attor-
ney L. N. Dempsey.
Green Fleming, the young
man who is employed in the cen
trail telephone Office at Dalton,
came over to the capital Monday
and proceeded to get on the
outside of TOO much tan
gle-foot. Then he got into a
quarrel with Oscar Smith, Jr.,
and must have feared great bod
lily harm, as he hied himself to
G. L. Herring's blacksmith shop
and, during Mr.. Herring's alb
sence, appropriated a pistol that
was in a drawer to Herring's
desk, and which Fleming knew
was there. The pistol, however,
was not loaded and Fleming did
not load it, although there were
plenty of cartridges in the draw
er from which the weapon was
taken. Shortly afterwards City
Marshal Tisdale took a hand
and searched Fleming, expect
ing to find razor on his person,
but instead of a razor the mar
shall discovered a pistol, and ar
rested Fleming for carrying con-
cealed weapons. On being ta-
ken before Mayor Edwards, Flem-
ing pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs. Unfortunately
his long suit was his appetite for
red liquor, fighting and a weak
ness for pistols, while his short
suit was cash. Because of his
financial inability to pay his fine
and costs, Fleming was lodged
in the calaboose, and as he says
he can't work he will languish in
the city bastile until the wrath of
the city of Keytesville against
him is fully appeased for frac-
turing it's peace and dignity.

Adonis, on foot to Frisco
The editor of the COURIER met
this strange freak, Adonis, at
Warrenton, Mo-, Friday, June
%, where meeting of the
Northeast Missouri Press asso-
citation was being held. Since
then Adonis has travelled 100
miles on foot.
Some people regard him as a
sort Of hero, but there was at
least one citizen in Keytesville
VINO expressed an opinion to the
effect that he was "a damphool. -
Adonis claims to be student of
Holy Cross college at Worcester,
Mass. He is engaged in walking
and pushing a wheelbarrow with
a rubber tire wheel from Dow
agiac, Mich, to San Francisco,
CAL, On wager Of 81 800 that,
he says, was made with some fell
low-students on the campus
Of Holy Cross college.
Besides making the trip on
foot from Dowagiac to San Fran
cisco with the wheelbarrow
Adonis is to earn $500, can
neither borrow, beg nor steal a
cent and is to WOO and win a
wife.
He left Dowagiac January 25,
1902, and had travelled 1,188
miles up to the time he reached
Keytesville, and has 2,242 miles
yet to traverse before he reaches
his destin alton, which must be
accomplished by December "a,
1902.
Adonis says he averages about
20 miles day.
He was two days behind time
at Keytesville, having been re-
tarded to some extent by the
heavy rains during the past few
weeks.
He is required to get the sig
natures of the mayor, the city
clerk and the postmaster in ev-
cry town through which he
passes, and he obtained the sig
natures of Mayor R. d. Edwards

On being asked by the editor
of the COURIER how many fail
ladies had expressed a desire tc
win his faint heart, Adonis re-
piled: "Four hundred and thir-
ty-three. l had two proposals
over at Salisbury, and came neal
taking one of them in. l don't
know yet how it will come out. .
If the gentleman had any Of
fers Of marriage in Keytesville
we will take pleasure in publish

Venuses, who aspired to Adonis
heart and hand if they will only
furnish us with their photograph
that is, we will publish their pic
lures provided their papas and
big brothers will keep at safe
distance from our sanctum.
According to the terms of the
g wager, Adonis must be married
by July "a. ''He will have tc

marks and smell of a tramp,

Bell finally became so enraged
that he assaulted. Cooper, and
was arrested for disturbing the
peace. The prisoner was
brought to Keytesville, and when
taken before Justice Wm. P.
Jared Wednesday entered a plea
Of guilty, and was sentenced to
the county jail for ten days.
Jefferson Croft and Mrs. Fan
