The night that Sheriff Polk was
murdered some one entered the
home of Thos. johnson, who lives
east of town, and took $40 from his
trousers which lay on the floor
The door of the house was mo-
locked and the thieves gained en-
trance without making any noise
MI. johnson did not discover his
loss until next morning. Many
people think the theft was COM
mitted by the Spaughs in passing
the place endeavoring to escape.
but no evidence has yet developed
that they were the guilty parties.
Our town has had more st. Louis
newspaper men within it's confines
the past week than for any time in
fifteen years past. Representatives
of the Republic, Post-D Dispatch and
Star have been here continually
since the murder of Sheriff Polk,
furnishing their readers news OF
the affair. Mr.. Phelps represented
the Republic, Mr.. Rice the Post
and Mr.. Cochran the Star.
They are a gentlemaply lot and
made a number of friends during
their stay. Not since the trial Of
B. M. Chambers here for the kill
ing of Frank j. Bowman in 1890,
have we had as many city report
ers in our town.
Gov. Folk Wednesday evening
telephoned Sheriff Marshall to put
a guard of twenty-five men around
the Jail that night to resist any at
at lynching the Spaugh
He also volunteered to send
a special train to convey them to
St. Louis for safe keeping, if it
was deemed necessary by the
authorities here. A great many
seemed to think that an
effort would be made to take the
murderers from the Jail that night
and administer speedy justice.
But the night passed quietly with
out disturbance and the guards
were not called upon to defend
their prisoners.

Immediately on being taken in
charge by the posse at the Walker
farm Wednesday the Spaugh boy s
begged for protection, and all the
way on the long ride to town they
implored that they be saved from
lynching. Bill seemed to be the
more composed of the two, and

terror. Even after being incarcer-

cells they besought protection ask
