Keytesville Girls Never Daunted.

1t is not every joke the CoU-
RIER tattler tells, but now and
then one comes to him that is
too good to suppress. He is
good-natured, and his indulgence
in pleasantries, though rasping
sometimes, is always with a
merry mind and wish to put
action in torpid liver. Only
last Saturday the warmest friends
of couple told the COURIER tat
tier of an incident that is worthy
of record. VIM. Swisher and
wife of near Slater were at Glas-
gov on circus day (they were
not there to attend the circus,
however,) coming to Keytesville
to visit Mrs. Swisher's mother,
Mrs. Lizzie Jeter. When they
arrived at Salisbury the train to
bring them to Keytesville had
departed. Undaunted people
like them wait not for train or
tide. So they recalled their
childhood days, when they
scampered over the fields and
meadows and wished the world
was four times as large. Acting
on the inspiration of the moment
they didn't put their feet in their
hands, but they swung their
shoes over their shoulders and
struck out for Keytesville a-foot.
Their courage failed them not,
and they strolled into Keytes-
vile in time for splendid sup
per and the good nights rest
they had earned. That is what
the COURIER calls Missouri pluck,
and is elated to have it exempli-
fed by a Charlton county girl,
Mrs. Swisher being formerly
Miss Claude Jeter. Talk about
your "globe-trotters, what's
the matter with "our girls?"

evening, Sept. 16, 1908, sunder

treat for all lovers of good music
as the following attractions am
ply attest:
P. G. Anton, cello soloist, the
best of his branch in the state,
and one Of the best in the coun- :

fluence of prominent people in
st. Louis.
Miss Lille Snyder, violin solo
| list, of more than state reputation.
Miss Myrna Kent. concert

Miss Anna Plato, alto, comes

John Rohan, baritone, without

| Frederick Wallis, baritone, as.
sistant to the celebrated Francis
Power of New York.
B. F. Ford, bass, well-knowr
all over the country.
Roland Plato, tenor, comes
very highly recommended. He

vocal Duets.

Taylor Starks Re-Arrested.

It will be remembered by the
readers of last weeks COURIER
that we gave an account of the
arrest of Taylor Starks, the mu-
latto porter at Sneed's hotel, and
Aaron Martin and Jas. Ewing,
also colored, for criminal assault
on Octavia Jones, a 14-year-old
negro girl, in Keytesville.
At the preliminary, held before
Justice VIM. P. Jared Wednes-
day, Starks was discharged, but
Martin and Ewing were required
to give bond in the sum of $500,
each, for their appearance for
trial at the September term of
circuit court at Salisbury.
Since the preliminary trial ad-
ditional evidence has been OBJ
tanned against Starks, and he
was arrested Tuesday on capias
issued from the circuit court, and
which was sworn out by octavia
Jones, the victim of the assault.
Starks gave bond in the sum
of $500, with John Martin and
George Schell as securities, and
his case has also been docketed
for the September term of circuit
court.
The crime of which Starks,
Martin and Ewing is accused is
one Of the most heinous in the
calendar, and if they are guilty
they should be given the full
penalty, especially since the girl
they are charged with assaulting
is not more than half witted.

Base Ball News.

Keytesville's baseball team
went UP to Carrollton Tuesday
and entertained the players OF
that town In the second game.
Our boys were not in their best
condition, yet they put up a
good game, however, and left
the di amond with a score of Z
runs to Carrollon's g.. But Key
tesville's ball team is game, and
next day went to Norborne,
and opposed nine good play
ers and an umpire. The
combination was strong one,
but Keytesville stayed in the
game though II innings and was
then declared loser by score
of 5 to A..
Aside from the unfair rulings
of the umpire, there is not a
murmur of complaint by Key
tesville's club. All speak in
high praise of his treat
ment at both Carrollton and
Norborne, and while they have
the kindest of feelings for the
ball players, some of them would
like to get that Norborne um-
pire out in the alley.

Fourth Annual Reunion of the Smutz
Family.

Family.
Over in the Mendon neighbor-
hood the people have their
customs same as ''city folks, -
but there is more of the genuine
article of hospitality in that
vicinity than there is in st.
Louis.
The Smutz family have for
four years held a reunion, and,
|of course, these events grow in
interest as any happy occur
renee should. The date of the
union this year was Thurs
day, August 20, and it was
favorable for the merry people
who were to participate in the
joys of the day.
The hosts on this occasion
were Henry Nicholson and wife
of 2 1-2 miles southeast of Men,
don, and hitherto journeyed
loved ones on that August morn
ing. 1t was one of those occa-
sions that dispels gloom and
cheers the wearied. Mr.. Nichol-
son and his good wife were in
their always happy mood, and
received each guest with a
genuine Charlton county greet
ing. The formalities of the
meeting were soon passed, and
after each one had given a
minute report since the last re-
union, dinner was announced
and then was the rush.
Dinner was served out in the
yard-just like grandmother
used to do, and there never was
a merrier crowd of picnicers ir
this part Of grand old Missouri
Henry Nicholson, the host
made the address of welcome
and everyone took him at his
word and plunged into the fes'
tivities like children at a Sun
day school picnic. Joshus

called the assemblage to order

ments of the day began and the
boys and girls had to step lively
to keep in step with some of th'
older ones. There was music
recitations, etc. The. mem.

Wabash Wreck at Brunswick.

A frightful wreck occurred on
the Wabash railway at Bruns-
wick shortly after 6 o'clock
Sunday morning in which four
boys travelling with John Robin
sons circus train were terribly
Iscalded, and one of them also
had a hole knocked in his breast
and received a scalp wound.
-Four ponies were killed out
right and another so badly in
|jured that it had to be killed.
The wreck was caused in this
way:
An extra east bound freight
train from the north, drawn by
engine No. 43O, and in charge of
Engineer W. T. Wray and Con-
ductor j. F. Johnson, came into
Brunswick, and, after doing some
switching in the yards, the en-
gine ran down to the coal chute,
about quarter of mile east of
the depot, to take coal. Just as
engine 430 started back to take
siding a section of John Robin =
sons circus train, drawn by en-
gine No. 387, with two pilots, and
in charge of Engineer G. Ha-
worth and Conductor w. H.
Enslen, was seen coming up the
track, having backed up from
Glasgow The circus train was
running at the rate of about 35
miles an hour at the time and
was on the main line. Engine
43e ran in on switch, which, for
some reason, was not closed, and
a wreck was the result, the engi-
nesr on 387 being unable to make
the airbrakes work. Engine
430 was dismantled and badly
damaged, carload of ponies on
he circus train, with some boys
lsteeping in hunks above the
E.onies, was telescoped. Four
ther circus cars were more or
1ess demolished, while a carload
~ wheat, a carload of corn, an
,;sSEty coal car and a tool car on
the extra freight train were
smashed more or less and the en-
gine crippled to considerable
extent.
The trainmen who were in
danger all escaped by jumping.
The four injured youths were
taken to Moberly to the Wa
bash hospital, but were first made
as comfortable as possible by DIR.
M. B. Austin of Brunswick, the
local Wabash surgeon.
These boys were all orphans
and ranged from IA to II years
old. One of them, Geo. Sheldon
of Miamisburg, Ohio, died from
the effects of his injuries Sunday
evening. The remains of the
unfortunate lad were sent to
Miamisburg, where he has Sis
ter living.
The five ponies killed were
buried by the Brunswick section
men by the side of the railroad,
near the scene of the wreck.
The show management had a
photographer on the ground as
quickly as possible to make a
picture of the scene, doubtless
for the purpose of assisting Mr..
Robinson in suit, should he not
be able to make a satisfactory
adjustment with the Wabash
people.
We understand that fabulous
value was placed on the ponies,
and that one of them was called
"a 500 pony"
Two hours after the wreck oc-
Cured the track was cleared suf-
ficiently for the circus train to
resume it's trip to Shenandoah,
Iowa, where the show exhibited
Monday.

Fatal Accident at Rothville.

Bert Mamort was run over by
the fast mail train of the Santa
Fe at Rothville Wednesday. He
was standing on the track and
was apparently dazed. The
engineer of the train said he
gave no heed to the signal, and
it was not possible to check the
train. The unfortunate man
was mangled beyond recogni-
ton. DR.. B. Hughes went over
there and held an inquest. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict
that death was accidental, bu,
placed the blame on no person
