That Lone Train Robbers Diet for
Thanksgiving He's the Bird
Who Was in Mexico Not as
Cute as He Thought.

Marshall, Mo-, Nov. 20.-Jesse
Q. Rumsey, the train robber who
is in Jail here awaiting trial, pass.
ed his Thanksgiving Day very
quietly in his cell.
When seen this afternoon, he
said:
This is a great. disappointment
to me to have to be here to. .dav.
when | had planned to be at home
with my father and mother and
sister in Chicago. They had writ
ten, asking me to eat Thanksgiv.
ing dinner with them, and l sup
pose they are having a good time.
That is the reason 1 went out and
robbed the Early Bird" last
Thursday night, so l could 20
home for Thanksgiving, and have
plenty of money for the home
folks and have money to buy
some new clothes, and dress up
and try again to be a man.
When l wrote and promised l
would come, l meant to keep my
promise, because I never made one
to them and failed to keep it.
But what's the use to worry
about it all now7 If l had gotten
home, Officer Cain would have
caught me at my fathers home to-
day, as he was right on to me and
knew | would be there: and if I
had gotten away the other night,
it would only have been a ques-
tion of a few days until they had
me-"
: Instead of turkey dinner to eat
to-day Rumsey was given bacon
and corn bread, the fare shared by
other convicts in the jail.

TICKLED TO DEATH
Stock Suffer and Die in Monroe and
Galloway Counties.

The Fulton Telegraph recites 8
the following:
W. A. Strong 6 Son, residing
Just northeast of Fulton, report
a queer ailment among their hog
herd. They have about one hnn.
dred shoats and pigs, and gave
them the range of a pasture, so
that the swine could get the good of
the crop of hickory nuts that had
fallen. and for a time the stock
was thriving. Last week it was
noticed something was wrong with
few of the pigs, and in a few
days seven of the little fellows
died, and upon skinning one of the
dead ones it was found that tickle
grass had penetrated the skin and
had pierced the outer lining of the
stomach and intestlnes, and the
pigs hau Deen actually tickled to
death, to use term that suits the
case. The spears of the grass had
also got into the nostrils and ears
OF the swine, causing matter to
run from those organs and adding
to the misery of the unfortu.
nate animals.
1t will be remembered that this
paper published clipping from a
Monroe county exchange, a few
weeks ago, telling of lambs dying
of this same cause and it behOoves
farmers TO keep young stock away
from this dangerous growth as
much as possible.

SAY THEY'RE SATISFIED
Prisoners Have Appetites of The
Never Get Weary Kind-"Our
Ways Not Your Ways"-No Iu-
somnia and Other Worries.

Macon, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-The fol-
lowing is copy of sketch head.
ed why We Are Thankful, {"
written by George O'Brien, who is
spending the fall here pending Cir
cuit Court, and was placed in the
hands of the Sheriff with the re.
Quest to let the light shine on it.
Dear GOveruor-We have read
your Thanksgiving proclamation
with interest, and will abide by
your suggestions as we'll as we may
be able in our limited environ
ments. Although unjustly shut
out from the world at present, we
have much to be thankful for.
The papers are not pitching into
us and calling us hard names, like
they do Mr.. Rockefeller, Senator
Platt, Willie Hearst and other
men with a larger measure of lib
erty. Our appetite is of the never
grow.weary kind, and we don't
have to take treatment for insOm-
mia. We are not nervous con-
cerning burglars and hold-up men,
and our diamonds are the least of
our worries. Nobody comes
round and tries to work us on
wildcat mining stock or to sell us
gOldbricks. The coal man hasn't
come after his money, and we
don't look for him. Snow, ice,
sleet and wintry winds mean moth
ing to us. We don't have to get |
up early Sunday morning and fix
for Sunday school. Three times a
day, week in and week out, we get +
beans, corndodger and well-water,
except on holidays, when there's a
double dose of water.
In looking over these matters
we feel that we are blessed far be-
yond the common run, for which
we are deeply thankful, Governor.
We are satisfied. We are satisfied.
We don't care to get any nearer
where you live, much as we like
you. Your ways are not our
ways, and we wish to be particu-
ar and lead a quiet, orderly life.
Respectfully,

GRAY IS NOT DEAD.
Terribly Wounded by
Robbers but Will Re-
cover.
Young Man Formerly Lived
Just West of Farber, This
County, and Has Relatives
and Old Schoolmates Re
siding in Worcester Neigh
borhood.

Last August the MESSAGE pub
lished an article from the Nevada
MO- Post relative to the murder
by robbers of Frank Gray, in Ore
gon, when a lived boy on his fathers S
farm just west of Farber. He is
a nephew of P. s. Underwood at
Worcester. The latter a few days
ago sent us later clipping from
the Nevada paper, as fpllows-the
young mans recovery is a glad
surprise to his relatives and ac-
quaintances in this county:
F P. Underwood is in receipt
of letter today from his brother
in-law, A. d. Gray, from White
water, Kas.
MIR. Gray is just home from Ore
gon, where it was reported that
his son, Frank Gray, was mur-
dered by highwaymen, August
4th.
He writes Mr.. Underwood that
the report that Frank Gray was
killed was premature, as lie still
lives and will recover.
The truth of the story is that
Frank Gray, accompanied by four
guards, was transporting $4,000
overland for a railroad company to
pay gang of men. Gray had the
entire amount on his person. In
the woods the men were set upon
by robbers. Gray refused to give
up the money and began to shoot.
At the first shot the guards fled. |
In the duel that followed, Gray
killed two of the robbers and
wounded another. He was him
self shot four times. He stuck to
his horse and rode ten miles to
camp where he turned the money
over to the officers of the road and |
told the men that he guessed he
was done for. After this brave |
act, he sank unconscious to the
ground, and the sheriff of the
county was notified that Gray was
dead. The sheriff so notified Gray's
relatives and wired Gray's wife at
Newton, Kas., that arrange
ments had been made to ship the
remains there for burial.
But the spark of life left in
Frank Gray's body asserted itself,
he breathed and was watched many
weeks by fellow workmen. He
finally steadily improved. A. j.
Gray, the father, went to Oregon
to see about his boy reported mur-
lered, and found him not dead
but at deaths door. He stayed
with his son until it was known he
would recover, when he returned
home and notified his Vernon coun-
ty relatives that the young man
as dead yet lived.
Frank Gray was raised near
Milo and his many friends will be
glad to know that he is not dead,
but will recover from, the terrible
inflicted on him by a gang
Of fobbers while in the perform
Of a sacred duty.

A NEGRO oUAILs.
But Few of This Race Will Touch
the "King of Books" With Lie
on His Lips.

An incident occurred mp at Ma
con City the other day which
causes speculation as to whether
the courts have proceeded wisely
in the abandonment of an old
English custom A United States
marshal came over from Hannibal
to take charge Of federal pris-
Oner, wanted in the Indian Terri.
tory. Will Francis, a negro, was
captured at Higbee, Mo-. last
week by a constable and brought
to the Macon Jail. Anegro miner
OF Macon county had told the con.
stable that Francis went by the
name of Day in the Territory. and
that in May, 1902, he had shot
John Robinson, a mine engineer
at Anderson. The constable said
on the way to Jail Francis had
freely confessed to the shooting.
but claimed that he did it while
shooting at another man. When
lnterrogated by the United States
marshal-W. j. Daugherty-Fran-
els stubbornly maintained that he
made no such confession to the ar
resting officer. The marshal had
a warrant, but no description of
the man wanted in the territory.
II be took Francis in charge, and
it proved not to be the man want
ed, he stood to lose heavy rail-
road and general expense bill. The
prisoner made one statement and
the constable another. So it was
man to man on the evidence.
Finally a lawyer who was pres
ent at the examination addressed
the negro:
FRANCIS, you didn't tell the
constable you shot the engineerP"
No, sab! Neber thought o.
such thing!"
You'll swear to that7"
Yes, sah."
"Anywhere9"
Yes, sab, anywhere an eber y
where"
Get Bible, Bill" said the
lawyer toa deputy.
The negro began looking wild
eyed.
l never said l shot no man,
you can't prove it," he remarked
We'll SEE" returned the law
yer, easily.
Bill came in with the book. The
lawyer reached for it and turned
rapidly to the 9th chapter of Rev
alations. which he changed a little
to suit the exigency; And he
opened the bottomless pit; aud
there arose a smoke out of the pit,
as the smoke of a great furnace;
and there came out of the smoke
scorpions upon the earth; and it
was commanded of them that they
should not hurt the grass, neither
any green thing, neither any tree;
put only those men. that have told
les. :"
Put your hand on the book,
Francis" he said gravely.
You let me lone, returned the
negro.
You've nothing to be afraid of
f you are telling the truth"
Il done tole you all rs goin'
er tell yer If yer don't believe
ne l can't help it."
The marshal decided to take
iim.
