Great Play by a Great Company

Great Play by Great Company.
King.Perkins company, max.
ing its eighth annual tour, will
present ga Homespun Heart
il the Russell opera house at
Brunswick Wedn esday night,
March 7.
Few, if any, announcements
will please the theatre.goers
more than this. Frank G.. King
and "Chic" Perkins are well
coined on and off the stage,
wherever they appear; delight
full personality is blended with
true artistic merit and the com.
bination insures success. The
production for this season is the
strongest and most elaborate
ever presented by this company.
The play is simple yet thrilling
story. 1t is high toned and
breathes the sweet pure air of
the country home. It has been
we'll said that it rivals such plays
as "The Old Homestead" "
"Shore Acres" and others which
tend to elevate the stage and
break the force of it's detractors.
To a most interesting play there
has been added a wealth OF
scenic establishment uncommon
even in this era of stage effects,
and the supporting company
presents artists, everyone. Are
you going?

found that Gertrude had sit
down on the back doorstep.
John noticed that her waist had
been set on fire by the pistol
shot and he put the fire out.
Gertrude said: "Oh, John; oh,
John," and then fell over in the
doorway and expired.
After telling McCrary that he
had killed Gertrude, Pearl was
told by him not to say a word,
and when she repeated what
she had just said, McCrary
threw the pistol at her and
it struck her on the ankle. He
then left the house, but returned
in about three minutes and
walked into the kitchen where
his victims dead body lay and
asked: "Honey, did l shoot
you?" Receiving no answer
and seeing that his deadly work
had been well done he took his
departure and did not return.
The pistol with which the
murder was committed belonged
to Gertrude Dameron and Nc
Crary had picked it up from the
folding.bed.

KEYTESvLLE, MO,

Simply a Matter Of Justice.
The COURIER believes that it i
simply a matter of justice on th'
part of the owners of the Keytes.
Vile street railway to see tina;
passengers are furnished a wa.
to get to and from the depot whel
the street car track is blockades
with snow.
It has heretofore been the Gus
tom, when the street car could nc
run, to leave passengers to ge
pack and forth as best the,
could. At such times the road
are not in a fit condition for
walking and to be charged
three or more times the regular
fare when they ride in other con :
veyances does not set we'll with
the public and gives the town a
very black eye.
"Where there's will there's a
way" and Messrs. Moore &
Bartz should see that their pa
irons are protected and properly
cared for when the street car line
is unable to make the trips.
A gutter under difficulties is
never regarded as hero and ex.
cites disgust rather than admi'
ration.
If the thing complained of in
this article cannot be prevented
otherwise, the city council should
lose no time, if it can be done, in
passing an ordinance that will
cover the case, and then see that
it is rigidly enforced.
We hope, however, that will
not become necessary and that
such protection will hereafter be
given the public by the street car
line as the emergencies may de-
mand.

The Eagle Minstrel Show.


The editor of the COURIER, in
company with several other
people from Keytesville, was
highly entertained attendant
at the minstrel show, given
under the auspices of the Order
of Eagles at the Russell opera
house in Brunswick Thursday
night of last week.
Ordinarily home talent shows
ARE appreciated merely because
they are given by ''home TALENT"
but the attraction at Brunswick
Thursday night was one of real
merit, and all present felt that
they were given more than their
moneys worth.
]. M. Baker presided as mid
die man with a marked degree
of dignity and composure, while
Cebe Wallace, L. T. Jackson,
Ludwig Kinkhorst, Jr., and R.
A. Kelliker were quite at home
as end men, and their numerous
"gags" and local hits never
failed to bring down the large
audience in hearty laughter and
vociferous applause.
ii The first production was the
opening medley which was re.
t markably we'll sung by the en-
tire company.

A MURDER AT SALISBURY.
"Clark" McCrary Kills Gertrude
DamerOn Because She Would
Not Marry Him.
M'CRARY IS NOW IN JAIL

Cured at Salisbury ABOUT
O'Clock Saturday morning when
Clark, alias "Sleek" McCrary,
a notorious negro character,
shot and killed Gertrude DAM
eron, COL, because she refused
to marry him.
Gertrude, Pearl and John
Dameron are children of Logan
and Ann Dameron, both OF
whom are dead. The family
had lived in Salisbury for several
years, but made their home on
the old White farm, two miles
east of Keytesville, for a long
time before moving to Salisbury.
Sincethe death of their parents
the three children had continued
to live together and keep house.
"Sleek" McCrary was a
frequent visitor at their home
and became enamored of
Gertrude Dameron and wanted
her to marry him. But, as the
story goes, Gertrude's mother
had requested her not to marry
McCrary and out of Difference
to her mothers wishes she
fatty refused to accede to Nc.
Crary's desire to commit mat
rimony. This refusal led Nc
Crary to indulge in a quarrel
with the dusky damsel who had
declined to give him her heart
and hand in wedlock. Hearing
the quarrel, Pearl Dameron, a
younger sister, got up and came
downstairs and Gertrude went
upstairs. Pearl followed her
upstairs and went to bed. Nc.
Crary soon came upstairs also
and dragged Gertrude down the
stairsteps. Pearl again went
downstairs. Gertrude sat down
and Pearl stood up by the stove
McCrary asked Gertrude if she
was going to do what he asked
her and she replied: edo
what?" And he said: "Marry
me-" She said: ''No; my
mother told me never to
marry you" McCrary re-
piled: eff you don't marry me
you will never do anyone else
any good"
Gertrude was then sitting
down by the sewing.machine
and McCrary struck her and
knocked her over on the ma
chine.
Pearl Dameron demonstrated
with McCrary, but he dealt Ger
trude another blow and knocked
her over by the door. He then
drew a pistol and Pearl ran in
between Gertrude and McCrary.
Seeing that he was going to
shoot, Pearl stepped out of the
way and McCrary fired, but the
bullet from the pistol went wide
of its mark.
Gertrude next started into the
kitchen and when McCrary
struck her again she said: "Oh,
Pearl, Sleek is going to kill
me-"
Pearl ran to the stairway and
called her brother, John Dam.
eron, and Clark Page. John
came downstairs and grabbed
Gertrude and tried to open the
back door and push her out OF
McCrary's way. At this juno
ture McCrary fired again, over
John Daneron's shoulder, the
oall taking effect just above
Gertrude's heart and severing
an artery that caused death
from internal hemorrhage
four or five minutes later.
As soon as the fatal shot was
fired, John Dameron got the
back door open and Gertrude
passed out. John started over
TO his brother, Willie's, bu
| turned and came back anc
