Lost an Arm.

The COURIER is indeed sorry to
learn that G.. Walter Dougherty,
who was born and reared in Key
tesville, had the misfortune to
lose an arm Tuesday, Jan. IL,
while he was braking on the
Santa Fe railway between Albu-
querque and Gallup, N. M.
The accident happened at Rio
Puerco, where Walter slipped
and fell from coal car in such
a way that his left arm was
caught on the rail and run over
by the cars, crushing the mem.
ber just above the elbow.
Walter was taken to Albu-
-querque and had the arm ampu.
tated by Surgeons Cutter, Worth
and Spargo.
He subsequently rallied from
the effects of the operation, and
is now recovering nicely.
Walter is a member of the
Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, is secretary of the order at
Albuquerque, and is very popu-
lar among his railroad brothers
as well ,as with all others who
know him.
His numerous Keytesville
friends sympathize with him in
the loss of his arm, and hope that
the company will see that he il
given a a good berth in another
department.

U. S. Halls Speech.

taking bath in holy water, or
of a Judas rebuking a Judas.
1t is hardly necessary for us to
say that no other man in Chari-
ton county would make an ex-
hibition Of such colossal gall
with the single exception of U.
S. Hall of Prairie Hill, and Hall
did that very thing in a speech
at the courthouse in Keytesville
Monday afternoon.
The people of the Second con-
gressional district of Missouri
are not so forgetful as Mr.. Hall
evidently takes them to be. On
the contrary, they well remem-
ber the circumstances under
which U. S. Hall gave up the
practice of law in Kansas City
to become a farmer, when, in
reality, he despised farming and
everything pertaining thereto.
But he had choice to make
between going to the farm or
going somewhere else over a
questionable tran saction with
the late Col. John F. Williams of
Macon, Mo-, and Riley went to
the farm.
He next became so in
tensely interested ? in agricul-
tura al pursuits that he joined the
Farmers alliance, stumped the
state in the interest of that order,
at the same time declaring he
twas not a candidate for any
Office" while he we'll knew that
he had congressional bee
buzzing in his bonnet right then,
for he afterwards succeeded in
riding the Farmers alliance to
congress, where he betrayed his
constituents on the financial
issue after he had pledged them
time and time again that he was
the unflinching friend of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of Is to /.
1t was while Hall was in this
traitorous attitude in congress
that Hon. David A. DeArmond,
congressman from the Sixth dis
trict of Missouri, removed Halls
hide and hung it on his (Hall's)
desk in congress to dry.
Not only is this true, but
while he was a member of con-
gress Halls checks went to pro-
test, some of which were given
in poker games. One of these
fell into the hands of a Triplett
young man and was for $3.50,
and it was not until after the
holder had threatened to pub
lish Hall in every Democratic
paper in the Second congress-
ional district of Missouri that the
$3.50 check was paid.
In his campaign for congress
against the lamented Chas. Fl.
Mansur in 1892, Mr.. Hall told
a number of parties that Mr.,
Mansur was a bad man and was
unfit to represent this district in
congress, for the reason that he
(Mansur) had accepted a bribe
of $40, 900 in property at Guthrie,
Okla, as an inducement for him
to use his influence in congress
in locating the temporary capi-
tai of Oklahoma at Guthrie.
Mr.. Hall even claimed to the
editor of the COURIER that he
(Hal) had in his possession
certified copies of deeds to the
property with which Mansur-had
been bribed, but when the time
came to produce the documents,
Hall admitted, in a meeting held
in the rear of the Peoples bank
at Salisbury in February, 1892,
that he didn't have the certified
copies of the deeds, never had
had them and could not get them
because, as he said, "the records
at Guthrie had been mutilated. y
And yet in January, 1892, while
