Geo. b. HarrisOn'S Libel Suit.

The SO, 900 libel suit Of Geo.
B. Harrison against John Nor
rison-Fuller, both of Glasgow,
was tried Tuesday in the circuit
court of Saline county where
the case was taken on change
of venue.
After the evidence was all in,
Judge Davis told the jury that
Mr.. Harrison had clearly been
libeled, but that the amount of
damages he should be awarded
was matter for the jury to de-
eide. A verdict was returned a
few minutes later for $4,000 in
Mr.. Harrison's favor.
Fuller utterly failed to justify
his wilful, malicious and ground
less attack upon Mr.. Harrison,
and it is right that he should
have to pay we'll for his villiany.
Fuller got into rumpus with
his lawyers and discharged
them, and pleaded his own case
in the Saline circuit court.
Those in attendance from
Charlton county as witnesses
were: Hon. j. G. Crawley,
Capt. J. G. Wallace and Gen.
E, W. Price Of Keytesville and
Judge W. j. Parks of near
Shannondale. They were all
witnesses for Mr.. Harrison, but
only Mr.. Crawley and Gen.
Price were put on the stand, the
court limiting the number of wit
nessesas to Mr.. Harrison's good
character.

NUMBER IS
The Cabbage Snake Again.

Lee Cash Of five miles north
east of Keytesville brought to
the COURIER office Monday quite
curiosity, which his daughter,
Mrs. j. W. Davis of Salisbury,
and his wife found while pre-
pairing a head of cabbage for
dinner at j. E. Shoemaker's,
i've miles northwest of Sails
bury, where they were visiting,
last Saturday. Tbs curiosity
was real cabbage snake taken
from the center of the vegetable.
The cabbage was perfectly sound
in every respect and was raised
oy Mr.. Cash.
His snakeship is about two
inches in length, brown in color,
has one feeler or horn project
ing from either side Of his head,
and is about the size Of a piece
of cotton wrapping twine. Each
side of the body contains many
dlminutlve crawlers or legs.
There are also two little horns
or stiff hairs on the tail.
This little reptile is very VIC
ious and will coil up and strike
at anything pointed at it just
like snake will do.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Cash
that in preparing cabbage all
cooks should be very careful
and keep a sharp lookout for
cabbage snakes"

F. P. Lamb called the COURIER
editors attention, while at Men,
don Saturday, to very unsual
freak of nature in the shape of a
couple of cornstalks on exhibi.
ton at H. c. Atterbury's vehicle
emporium. One of the stalks
had three distinct forks and had
an ear of corn at the outer end
of each fork. The other had
two distinct forks and an ear of
corn at the outer end of each
fork. So the man who never
saw ga forked cornstalk" can
see two of them if he will take
the trouble to call at Mr..
Atterbury's place of business in
Mendon. These freaks of nature
were both grown this season ON
G. D. Felt's farm which adjoins
the town of Mendon. 1t is said
that when one of the stalks was
cut it was nearly four feet be.
tween the tips Of the ears that
grew on two of the forks of the
parent stalk. Not satisfied with
this years big corn crop Mr..
Felt evidently undertook to
raise couple of "corn trees"
and succeeded fairly well.

Merchants Board Of Appeals
and County Court.

Merchants Board OF Appeals
and County Court.
The county board of appeals
for merchants met at the court
house in Keytesville Monday,
September %, 1905.
There were II or Il complain
ants before the board because
the beard Of equaliz alton for
! merchants had increased their
statements Of wares and mer-
chandise they had given in fJr
the year 1905, but only five sue
ceeded in persuading the bo9rd
of appeals to believe that the
board Of equalization had raised
them unjustly.
C. W. Aldridge, a grocery
merchant Of Salisbury, gave in
$500, but was raised to 81, 400.
The board Of appeals let him off
at 1000.
o. J. Friend, a Salisbury
jeweler, gave in $500, was raised
to $500 and was let off at 5000.
DR.. Oliver McEuen, a Shan.
nondale druggist, gave in S625,
and was increased to $500, but
was again reduced to S625.
McCrary Bros, dealers in
general merchandise at Prairie
Hill, gave in S1,7O0 and were
increased 10 per cent by the
board of equaliz alton, all Of
which increase was stricken off
by the board of appeals.
w. T. Curran, a hardware
merchant of Brunswick, gave in
$500, and was also increased 10
per cent. He, too, persuaded
the board of appeals to strike
off the increase and let the origi-
nal amount stand.
After finishing the labors of
the board of appeals the three
judges of the county court, and
ex. officio members of the board,
convened court. and turned
down the contract made by the
County Bridge Commissioner
o. G. Dameron with A. M.
Blodgett for steel bridge
across the East Fork Of the
Charlton river,nea the residence
of Caroline Weisenhorn, at and
for the sum of So, 800; also the
contract made by said Dameron
with the Dildine Bridge e. Con-
struction Co. for two tubular
piers for bridge across Mussel
Fork creek, near the residence
of L. Birchfield, at and for the
sum of S2S5. Both Of said con-
tracts were rejected for the rea-
son that, in the opinion of the
court, the contract prices were
too high.
Matters pertaining to drain.
age districts Nos. 5 and 8 (Lake
creek and Salt creek) were dis.
cussed, and it was decided that
not enough money had been
porvided for the Salt creek dis.
trict, and that was abandoned
until plans could be formulated
to raise more money.
The same steps may be taken
in regard to the Lake creek dis.
trict unless it is found that the
necessary bridges can be con-
structed for less money than is
now indicated.

Burglars at Mendon.

and made a pretty good haul,
the greater part of which was in
cold cash.
They first entered F. w.
Wehrli's blacksmith shop where
they secured two chisels and a
rasp, and silver watch worth
S4 or S.. They must have heard
the watch ticking as Mr.. Wehrli
had left it hanging in box nail
eb to wall of his shop. The
box was used as receptacle for
tools, bolts etc., and the time
piece was kept therein, and was
consulted when Mr.. Wehrli
wanted to know the time during
the day.
Access to Mr.. Wehrli's place
of business was gained by rails
ing a side window, but the burg
lars evidently went out the
front door as it was unlocked
from the inside and left open.
The chisels and rasp obtained
at Mr.. Wehrli's were used to pry
oIt side window light at Hub
Dard Bros general-store and a
rear window glass at j. B. Ac-
cola's hardware store.
At Hubbard Bros the thieves
stole two suits Of clothes, two
pairs Of Selz' "Royal Blue"
shoes, two hats, some underwear
and hose and some jewelry in
the way Of rings, cuff buttons,
etc.
At Accola's hardware. store
they made the most valuable
haul, taking single and a
double -barrelled shotgun, and
helped themselves to about
S75 in cash that Mr.. Accola had
left in the money drawer. Both
the rear and front doors of Mr..
Accola's store were left open by
the pilferers.
Mr.. Accola generally took
home what money he had in the
oney-drawer every night, but
he went to attend to some out
side business Friday night and
left Mrs. Accola and their son at
the store, and they supposed Mr..
Accola would come back by the
store and get the money before
he came home, and for that
reason they did not take it with
them.
After securing their booty the
two marauders repaired to the

they are still ''parading" as
nothing whatever has been
learned of their whereabouts.
The discarded clothes were
fairly respectable, but that is
much more than can be said OF
their owners, who are presumed
to be the same parties who
bought some eggs from Mrs. Ray
Lamb of near Mendon about
O'Clock Friday afternoon and
cooked and ate the chen fruit"
under a bridge across a ravine
not far from where they bought
the eggs. Mrs. Lamb is quoted
as saying that both strangers
were very polite when at her
home.
They went from there to Men,
don, but did not get to town un-
til after dark. They bought
some liquor of which they i'm
bibed at intervals, while seated
on the sidewalk III front of the
H. G. Atterbury block in Men
don, and in conversation with a
couple of Mr.. Atterbury's sons
they made the claim of being

they left Mendon they turned
out to be another variety OF
"spotters."
