A runaway Friday afternoon about
3 O'Clock on the southeast corner OF
the square created considerable ex-
element, but resulted in no injuries
10 either the occupants OF the rig or
damage to the horse or vehicle. The
little Shetland pony owned by John
Brewer, and driven by his nine-year-
old son and Roy Triplett, aged about
20 years, became suddenly excited
while passing along the south side Of
the square and began plunging and
kicking furiously. Kicking over the
dash board the pony's real feet got
caught in some manner and thus be
ran, travelling only on his fore legs, to
the front Of ]. II. Sallee's store on the
east side Of the square. Striking the
granitoid sidewalk the pony stumbled
and fell.
The rig struck the walk with con-
siderable force and threw both Trip
lett and bis youthful companion to the
ground. Luckily neither were hurt
and a crowd hurrying to the spot, soon
e~xtricated the pony from his cart.
Mr.. Brewer states that the little
animal has always been considered safe
and a not explain his bad behavior
on this occasion.

MIssoURIAN GETS
FORTUNE AND TITLE.
Soldier, Formerly Of Columbia Inner
its $500, 900 and $4,000 Acres.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 10.-JOhn Nor
mington Chapman, ward master in the
United States Hospital Corps at the
Columbus tO.) Barracks has Just re-
ceived word from a firm OF attorneys
in Ireland that he has inherited $780,
900 and 20, 900 acres Of farming land in
the County OF Antrim, Ireland, and an
S,000-acre sheep ranch In Australia,
besides the title Of Earl Of Morning
ton, from his fathers lately deceased
brother.
Chapman says that be always was
the fayorite OF his uncle when he still
lived in Ireland.
Fifteen years ago the Chapman fam
lily came to America and moved TO
Chicago going shortly afterward TO
Columbia Mo-, where he lived with
his parents until he went into the
army a year ago. He joined the hos
pitai corps and despite the notiica-
tion Of inheritance declares that he
will serve out th e time he enlisted for
leaving the administration Of his es-
to the attorneys in Ireland.
He expects to sell all the property
excepting the Australian sheep ranch
because he does not intend to go to
Ireland to live. America is good
enough for him he says, even though
the title will do him no good here.

John Fl. Price, superintendent OF the

An R EXPERIENCE
A Story Wherein Thos. J. C. Fagg
Details an Incident OF the Bar in
Mexico history.

My Dear Nj. KEENAN,.
LOUISIANA, Mo, Aug. 9.-lt would
afford me much pleasure to attend the
Old Settlers meeting on the 18th IL
my previous engagements were such
as to permit it, Ny acquaintance
with Audrain county and its people

years.
My impression now is that in 1886 |

practice law about twelve months pre-
yions TO this visit and / was following
up some changes Of venue from Pike
county.
You will not be at all surprised when
/ tell you that the cases were all Grim

gambling. There was a very peaceful
happy condition OF society in the
county at that time, for there was not
a resident lawyer in it. The entire
bar from Galloway, Boone and Mon
roe counties we're in attendance with a
fair representation from Pike, Marion,
Rails and Montgomery, about twenty

over the deliberations OF the court and
he impressed me IS being an old Viz

whiskey had given out and there was
not another drop to be mad in the
town. The extent OF such a calamity
could only be measured by the fact
that 1t had to be hauled by wagons
from Hannibal. The location and
building Of a railroad a few years
later secured the county from a repi-
t:tion Of such an occurrence and l am
sure it has been happy and contented
