Mr.. BIGGER SEES FOLK VICTORY.

From Chillicothe Constitution.
AL Rryan, the we'll known travel
ing man, came in off the road a few
hours Thursday and spent the time
with the local merchants.
Mr.. Bryan is constantly going uE
and down the road in North Missouri
and no man is better posted on the
political pulse of the people. He says
that the Folk fever which was some.
what general for sometime has now be.
come universal and he does not see
how any other candidate can expect
to make any sort of showing in this
part Of the state.
He met Hon. G. G. Bigger on the
train yesterday and he had just come
from Kansas City where he had
business before the court Of appeals.
Mr.. Bigger is an enthusiastic Folk
man and was surprised to find the
court (Judges Broaddus, Smith and
Ellison) unanimous for Folk and Just
as enthusiastic as he dare be. The
jurists stated that the Democracy of
Missouri could not afford to turn
down the sentiment embodied in Folk.
Mr.. Bigger is prominent member
of the Linn county bar and says that
his county is unanimous for Folk, at
least so far as his own township at
Laclede is concerned. and from the
of the Democrat leaders of
the county.

Some Records Rare and Remarkable.

The most remarkable newspaper

ago, Deacon Dobyns, the veteran
newspaper man Of Oregon, conceived
the idea of keeping an indexed ac-

and Of men in Holt and surrounding

The editor turned to his records and
found therein on interesting history
of the deceased's life, with some per-

home three miles northeast Of Lacle1o

Smoke A Nuisance.

The court Of appeals at Kansas City
tlis week handed down decision in
the case of A. j. Powell, a Linn
county farmer, against the Brookfeld
Pressed Brick and Tile Manufactur-
ing company the court deciding that
"the right of one to be secure against
the poisoning of the air by noxious
smoke is as complete as isthe right to
be protected against open personal as
saults." Powell sued for damages
alleged to have been caused his corn
by the smoke from the defendant COM
pany's b.;c!; kiln. He won in the
lower court and the verdict has been
affirmed by the court ofappeals. The
plaintiff based his case upon the alle-
cations that the brick factory used an
inferior grade of coal and was negli-
gent in the care of it's fires and kilns.
The crop alluded to in the complaint
grew upon ten acre tract which is
separated from the property of the
brick company by a railroad track.
Tie entire loss of the crop was. shown
in trial Of the case to be solely attribu
table to the whitening effect of smoke.
and further evidence was produced
to show that the nuisance might have
| been abated with the exercise of due
diligence. The decision will probably
result in the deluge of damage suits

THE BAD NAN FROM B0GARD.
He Dc%::i,d AZ. .rewater ana Firearms ana
Landed in the County Jail.

There was lively times down at the
saloon Monday. Just before noon a
stranger, farmer looking fellow
about forty-fve years of age, walked
into the saloon and asked the barten-
der if there was anyone else in the
room. He was .old there was not.
He then wanted to know if the hor-
tender had a gu, No, there was no
gun kept in the house. The stranger
then wanted to know i" the bartender
drank, I<u, Ae did not drink. The
stran rer t!,an rev pint bottle of
whiskey from his ,>ocket, commanded
the bartender to drink and to enforce
his command drew big revolver
from another pocket and covered the
man behind the bar, who at once
seized the bottle and placed it to his
mouth. He was made to drink till
the bottle was half emptied. He eheld
the bartender prisoner a half hour
or more, amusing himself by drinking
and shooting about the room.
A travelling man alighted from one
of the incoming passenger trains and
ran up 10 the saloon to wet his
whistle He ST n / iuside to t'"';
himself face to lace with the man with
the gin. He jumped outside and
pulled he door shut after him, but
he was not quick enough and received
shot in the hand. No one knows
how bad he was hurt as he ran to the
depot and left town and has not been
heard of since.
Marshal Wood was coming up from
the depot and hearing the shot started
to investigate. He opened the saloon
door and stepped in only to have a
big revolver pOkeol into his face. He
knocked it tc on .;de and stepped in
ia de- 81 be1ll;! the cigar stand
leaving the fellow ~ the other side
of the bar screen. The marshal felt
for his gun ,ut he had laid it off that
day at dinner and was unarmed. AZ
ter dodging around the fellow got
SIGHT of the marshal and took shot
at him but missed. The marshal now
realized that something had to be
done and grabbing piece of 2x4 he
made for the fellow and forced him to
drop the revolver. The two grappled
and desperate struggle ensued, the
marshal finally landing the fellow on
the floor with tight grip on his
throat. In the meantime the barten-
der made his escape through the rear
door. After being locked up the
man gave his name as D. S. Glaze of
Bogard. He had fired five shots in
the saloon there being one more loaded
shellain his revolver, it being a A
caliber 6-shooter.
When brought hefHrc Justice O..
F. Libby that evening he was still too
drunk to give an intelligent account
of himself and the trial was set for Fri
day. He was taken to jail at Linneus.

ClarIOn's Poor House Middle.


Last Saturday Judge Wilson handed
down opinions and orders in the equity
case of p ii. Melvin VS.. j. A. Summer
vile, G. w. Texter, and John r. Saxton,
the commissioners of Clarion county,
and William Zortman, the contractor
for the erection of poor home on the
George V. Crull farm. located in Piney
township, about ten miles from the
county seat, at the contract price of $780,
$50, and in the equity suit of George b.
Whitehill and William L. SAMSON
against the same defendants, and. in ad-
dition, George V. Crull and Maggie
Crull, his wife, the owners of the lands
bought by the county commissioners for
poor farm. The bills IN equity of the
plaintiffs in both the suits mentioned
were dismissed at their costs, respective
ly. Judge Wilson held that the poor
district of the county was a public corpo-
ration, separate and distinct from the
county, that under the law it was not
necessary for the county comm missioners,
acting as directors of the poor, to secure
the approval of the court in their action
that they were only liable to be restrained
by the court where there had been pal
pable abuse of the discretion vested in
them by the law, or in case of fraud,
clearly established by the evidence, and
that the evidence adduced by the plain
n Ohn N nh hvt N ,fxr
commissioners of the discretion vested
in them, or fraud in any of their pro-
ceedings toward the erection of county
poor house. 1t is understood that plain
titls in the equity cases referred to will
appeal to the superior court.
