to Mansur's Guthrie property,
and thereupon Hall dramatically
patted himself opposite an inside
coat pocket. leaving the impress
sion that the pocket contained
the deeds with which he was
going to put Mansur out of the
race for congress.
When the editor of the CoU-
RIER learned that this charge
against Mansur was a vile SLAM
der, Mr.. Halls plan was then
for him and his friends to make
the claim that he did not origi-
nate the charge, but as he was
the first man to tell US, and new.
er produced any proof that he
was not the originator, we be-
lieved that we, as the editor of
Dem ocratic paper, had a duty
to perform to the Democrats of
the Second congressional district,
and we exposed Mr.. Hall in the
next issue of the COURIER under
the caption: "Where Are the
Deeds?" That question has
never yet been answered.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing at the Peoples bank in Sal
isbury in February, 1892, Mr..
Hall had private conversation
with the COURIER man, and dur
ing which he (Hall) undertook
to s'smooth over" his slanderous
charges against Mansur, but his
explanation was one that did
not explain, and we very prompt
lys told him so. He assured us
that he had Mansur beaten for
congress, and pleaded for the
CoURIER's support, but we de-
clined because he had knowingly
and wilfully slan6ered his oppo-
nent for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congress.
1t was then that Hall offered
to ''sign check for any reason
able amount if the COURIER
would support him.
Right here we wish to say that
Riley Hall is the only man, who,
during our 21-years' experience
as an editor, ever attempted to
corrupt us.
Coming down to more recent
events check, given by Mr..
Hall to at least one assistant
teacher in his academy at Prai-
RE Hill was permitted to go to
protest, and considerable
amount Of that teachers salary
is yet unpaid.
Under the existing circum-
stances we would like to know if
mortal man ever saw a greater
exhibition of brazen brass than
Mr.. Hall possesses in going
about the country making
speeches on the subject: "Whom
Shall We Nominate for Govern
orr"
Hall is supporting Jos. w.
Folk of st. Louis as the Demo.
cratic candidate for governor,
and his speech here Monday
afternoon was an able and brill
liant effort, just such as Hall is
capable of making, but his own
record is so black that he is a
dead weight Tor FOLK ana nls
friends to carry.
Taking political advice from
Riley Hall is like swallowing q
dose of poison or submitting to
the caresses of rattlesnake
The COURIER has no quarrel
with any good, true and re-
spectacle Democrat who is sup
porting Jos. w. Folk for gov
erIor, for such is his privilege,
but Riley Halls advocacy oi
good government, his pretended
hatred for rascality, bribers and
boodlers is enough, in view ot
his record, to turn the stomach
of a healthy bulldog.

Horse Thief Caught.
Last Monday, Joe Louder
milk, who formerly lived about
Shannondale and Prairie Hill,
but who of late had been work.
ing for Martin & Bragg, livery
men at Huntsville, Mo-, hired a
double team and buggy from his
employers and drove them to
Salisbury where he traded them
to B. G.. jackson for another
team and $40 "to boot"
Tuesday morning, Jackson
learning that he had traded for a
stolen team, telegraphed to Sher-
iff Veatch at Keytesville, giving
a description of the thief and the
team he had traded him.
Mr.. Veatch found the team at
Shaughnessy's livery barn, and
learned that the man leaving it
there said he would be back that
night or the next day for the
team, and left on foot for the de-
pot, whittier Veatch went at once
and found Loudermilk, who had
purchased ticket for Kansas
City and was waiting for the 2:O6
p. m. train.
Loudermilk was arrested and
searched: Two pocket-knives,
some trinkets and $50. 72 in mon-
ey were found on his person, the
remainder of the $40 having been
spent for whiskey, tobacco and
the ticket.
The team he traded Mr.. jack
SON was returned to the owners
at Huntsville, and Jrckson got
his team and the remainder of
the money.
Loudermilk was put in jail
here Tuesday and remained over
night.
Constable Tom Minor came up
Wednesday morning and took
him back to Huntsville where he
will be beld for the circuit court.
d Loudermilk is...about 45 years
old and is a grass widower.

B. j. Moore. who for many
years has been a merchant at
Shannondale, withal nice gen.
tleman, has bad spell of Ar
kansas fever. He made a trip
down there not long since and
bought 160-acre farm at S12
an acre, 10 of which is in culti-
walton and the remainder, the
finest timber land he ever saw,
and he will move with his family
about March 1. We regret los
ing him and other good citizens
like him, but believe he will
prove to be like the Missourians
whom Judge Spencer in his
dream saw in heaven. They
were all chained to their seats
while persons from Iowa, Illinois
and other states were permitted
to roam the Elysian fields at
will. Becoming indignant, the
judge inquired of ST. Peter
"What makes you treat the Mis-
sourians in that way?" st. Peter
responded: Because, if these
fellows get loose every one of
them will go back to Missouri. -
Now when Berry gets loose in
Arkansas we look for him to re-
turn to grand old Missouri.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 2O.-The Inquest held last
night in the case Of Miss Lizzie Sauer, who
mysteriously met her death Sunday afternoon,
resulted in verdict to the effect that she was
killed by accidental shooting.
DR.. John c. Schapps, who was called in the
case, testified that the wound could have been
caused by the girl herself, and described the
course Of the bullet. He stated that the shoot
ing looked more like an accident than an at
tempt to bring about self-destruction. The
wound, If self-inhicted, would have necessitated
the holder Of the weapon standing in an awk-
ward position, and one unlikely If suicide had
been intended. ...,...
Other witnesses were examined, among them
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright, the latter describing the
discovery of the girl and the former telling of
her unimpeachable character and her disposition
| and personality. ~
1t was brought out that nothing known of the
gorIs life could possibly have given cause
for self-destruction, and, in the opinion OF all
the witnesses, Miss Sauer shot herself accident
ally while, perhaps, toying with revolver that
| belonged in the house. - .,,ss I,,-
