lodged IKE rock and Trammel was

The post-ofice at Hogan was
quite, if not completely, demol-
ished Tuesday night of last week.
The post-ofice at Hogan is To-
Gated in a small building situated
at the end of a railroad spur-and
there is no bumper at the end of
the s%pur-just the post-ofice build
ing. On the night in question
some cars were showed into the
spur, and off the spur into the post
office. Postmaster Holloman and
a young lady were the only oc-
cupants of the building at the time
and they fortunately escaped with
out injury. But the building was
badly wrecked.
The annual outing of the Bap-
fist Ladies' Aid Society at the
home of Mrs. Elvira Carly, last
Thursday, chronicles another hap
by event for that industrious as
semblage. The cordial greeting
by the hostess and her son, Mr..
Love Carly, the beautiful day, the
festal board, the flowers, the gen.
eral good cheer permeating the
entire household, this, combined
with the Mary and Martha spirit
of the different members and in
vited friends, produced favorable
and everlasting impressions on the
many guests present. A vote of
thanks was unanimously extended
to Mrs. Carly for the delightful
and profitable time spent in her
home.
A loafer on the streets, whose
wife was probably at home getting
out a neighbours washing to make
money to buy the children's shoes,
asked a busy man the other day If
he ever saw a bald headed woman.
"No, I never did," replied the busy
man, ssand | never saw a woman
waltzing around town in her shirt
sleeves with cigar in her teeth
and running into every saloon she
saw. Neither did | aver see a wo-
man sitting all day at the street
corner on a dry goods box telling
people how the secretary of the
treasury should run the national
finances. / have never Q e a wo-
man go fishing with a bottle in her
pocket, sit on the bank all day and
20 home drunk at night. Nor
have | ever seen a woman yank off
her coat and say she could lick any
man in town."
VIM. and Arthur Spaugh and
their mother, Mrs. Mary Il. Spaugh,
charged with the murder of Sheriff
John w. Polk in this city on May
18th last, by their attorneys last
Thursday filed with the circuit
clerk of this county, notice of their
intention to apply for a change OF
venue from Iron county when the
case against them is called in the
October term of the circuit court,
which convenes October 23d. The
defendants allege that they "can
not have a fair trial in Iron county,
Missouri, for the reason that the
inhabitants of said Iron county are
biased and prejudiced against
them" Prosecuting Attorney @.
P. Damron was notified to appear
before Judge Williams, at Hills
boro, Tuesday, so that a determin-
alton could be reached as to the
number of witnesses the court
would hear in the matter when the
motion for change of venue came
up for disposition. Mr.. Damron
went to Hillsboro Tuesday, but
Mr.. Williams, one of the attorneys
for the defense, was sick and could
not be present, SO nothing was
done in the premises.
Constable Hill and his deputy,
Will Henson, Jr., made a raid on
a bunch of crap shooters in a
vacant house in "Smokey Row"
Saturday night. They captured
about seven of the players, and
these seven offenders gave infor-
nation that led to warrants being
issued for about twenty-five other
residents of the Valley who ''throw
the bones" In all, thirty-two
warrants have been issued. Of
this number twenty-five have been
arraigned, and all have pleaded
guilty. About fifteen of them have
paid fine and costs, and eight or
ten are serving their time out in
Jail. The fine and costs in each
case amount to 1913. The offenders
are old and young, black and
white, and reside in different Sec
tons of the Valley. 1t is the big
gest haul ever made in the ranks
Of the sporting fraternity in the
history of the local courts. The
defendants have all been arraigned
before Squire Fairchild, who has
in every case assessed the mini
, mum fine, S25, and costs against
them. A few for whom warrants
have been issued have "skipped
, out" but they will probably be ap.
. pretended in a few days and
brought before the bar Of Justice.
