Crap.Shoorers.

Graves Perkins and VIM. Fox
pleaded guilty Friday, July %,
before Mayor R. D. Edwards to
the charge of shooting craps the
previous Saturday and were fined
81, each, and costs, which they
paid. J. W. Wooten, a brick
mason who had been working on
w. D. Vaughan's hardware
store, was also a festive bone
roller and was gathered in for
participating in the same game
with Perkins and Fox at the rear
of j. E. Dempsey's drugstore.
Wooten offered to put up a watch
with Mayor Edwards until the
case against him could be ad-
Indicated, but his honor inform
ed him that he could not take the
watch and that he would have to
settle with City Marshal J. w.
Veal. After he left the august
presence of the mayor, Wooten
became obstreperous, so much
so that Marshal Veal landed him
in the calaboose from which he
broke out Saturday night and
went to Mrs. Jalana Vaughan's,
his mother-in law, in the south
west part of town where he was
stopping. Sunday morning he
was taken before Justice H. A.
Wheeler and fined $50 and costs
for breaking out of the calaboose,
but was given a stay of execu.
ton for 20 days. Wooten, how
ever, did not remain that long
and skipped without squaring
accounts with either tie city Sor
the state. He, perhaps, knew
that fine imposed by the state
on Sunday could not be collected
and seemingly did not consider
the case of the city against him
of sufficient Importance to en-
gross his valuable time.

VIM. II. Crew a Defaulter.

A dispatch from Macon, Mo-,
to the St. Louis Chronicle under
date of July 27 says of VIM. H.
Crew, a former merchant and
postmaster at Dean Lake:
"United States Marshal W. j..
Daugherty has returned from
neati Dean Lake, Lake Charlton county,
where he had gone with a war
rant for the arrest of Postmaster
William H. Crew, who is charged
with embezzling S639.63 from
the government. He found
Crew had gone to some placs in
Oklahoma. The people told the
marshal that when Inspector w.
L. Reid discovered the shortage
Crew said he would Immediately
make it good and borrowed the
necessary money from his
friends, but failed to use it for
that purpose. Then he went to
Oklahoma. The people said his
obligations, including those to
the government, would total S4,-
OOO."
Crew will be remembered as
the fellow who used to do good
deal of ''roasting" of people in
general while acting as Dean
Lake correspondent to the Trip
lett Tribune. 1t now turns out
that the ''roaster" was very
much more of a hard case than
those he "roasted" another case
of "stop thief" as it were.

prominent and highly respected
old ladies', died at her home on
West Broadway. Wednesday

tiers. She was born Feb. 25,
1846. On Feb. %, 1865, she was
united in marriage to Adolph

children were born, three of
whom, John F., R. L. and Mrs.
F. w. Sasse, are living. The
deceased children were Julius,
William, Hugo and George and
one other, who died in infancy.
Mrs. Hagen's husband was one
of Brunswick's most substantial

Strengthening the Charlton.

oCra1SnCenlnS Cne CnarltOu.
There was a special term of
the Charlton county court
held last Friday and Saturday
at which time one of the most
important matters came up for
consideration that ever engaged
the attention of the court.
Preliminary steps had been
taken under the drainage laws
of this state looking to the
Strengthening of the Charlton
river as means of reclaiming a
vast amount of swamp and over
flowed lands for agricultural
purposes. Over 100 citizens
owning land to be affected by
Strengthening the channel in
augurated this scheme by petit
ton to the court. The commits
sioners required by law had been
appointed, did their work and
made a favorable report, which
was up to the court to accept or
reject. There was a remon-
STRANGE to the adoption of the
commissioners report made by
landowners south of Keytesville,
who claimed the ditch proposed,
if made, would be detrimental
instead of beneficial to their
farms, while they admitted it
would be beneficial to land
farther away from the Missouri
river. Messrs. .Coilet and G.
G. Hammond represented the
petitioners, while Capt. J. C.
Wallace appeared for the remon.
strators.
There were many witnesses
both for and against the enter
prise. 1t was claimed by one
side that the water retained in
the old bed of the river would
become stagnant and breed
mosquitoes and malaria, thereby
becoming a menace to the health
of the citizens. Furthermore,
the increase and cost of bridges,
it was claimed, were items not to
be overlooked. On the other
side the advocates of the meas
ure did not believe the proposed
ditch would increase the chances
of overflow of the lands contig-
uous to the south end of the
ditch. They believed the in
crease in the value and produc.
tiveness of all lands in the Char
iton bottoms, by reason Of
Strengthening the channel, would
overcome all other objections.
They contended the cultivation
of the swamp land and the killing
out of noxious vegetation would
tend to the preservation of the
health of the people. The ques'
ton was of two much magnitude
FOR the court to decide hastily.
The judges took the matter under
advisement and will render a
decision at the August term.

EXPERT TESTIMONY WEAKENS
PASQUALE'S INSANITY DEFENSE

The greater part of the time at
the Pasquale murder trial today was
occupied with testimony tending to
prove that the prisoner was ire
sponsible when he killed Gray. More
evidence was given to show that Pas
quale had been subject to epileptic
fits for number of years, and then
DR.. Loughrey was called to give ex-
pert testimony concerning epilepsy.
He stated that the disease was caused
by an affection of the brain. He said
that, to all appearances, the form of
the disease with which the prisoner
was afflicted tended to make its vic
tim irritable and more sensible of
real or fancied wrongs.
Did Not Think Pasquale Insane.
Asked if he thought there was any
thing in Pasquale's demeanor on the
witness stand to indicate that he was
insane, Dr.. Loughrey replied that
there was not. He also stated that
he did not think it probable that the
slight shove which Pasquale says
Gray gave him on the night of the
shooting would cause him TO lose
consciousness and then regain it all
most Immediately after the shooting
No Indication Of Insanity.
DR.. e. NJ Brown corroborated Dr.
Loughrey's testimony, and said
that the fact that a man was an
epileptic did not make him irrespon-
sible in the commission of crime. lie

a quarrel an epileptic who had
hitherto been insane would go In

EVIDENCE TOO
THIN TO HOLD

At the meeting of the city council
last night the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges of
attempted bribery in connection with
the granting of telephone franchise
to Frank Mortimer was discharged
and the case has been dropped.
The evidence secured against
Frank Mortimer was turned over to
the county attorney and that official
gave the committee very little hope
of obtaining a conviction on the evf-
dence submitted. The county attor-
ney informed the councilmen that
