The Water Cure.

A-S W 02SA SAASs
c.. T.. Rether, the bibuIous
tailor who works for A. Harms
of this place, had been up the
Wabash somewhere and returned
home Sunday night. During his
absence Chris had sought, as
usual, too intimate association
with John Barleycorn, and, as q
consequence, became quite
hilarious.
While in front of the COURIER
building between II and IL
O'Clock Sunday night Chris con.
cluded to warble q ditty or make
some other outlsndish noise, and
soon found himself submerged
with a liquid thrown from an up
stairs window of the COURIER
building where q room was occu-
pied by young men who have
been in Keytesville for some time
installing the acetylene gas
plant. As to who threw the slop
or water on Chris and his s'Sur-
day clothes" we do not know.
but he was made madder by
the indignity than "a wet hen,"
and sought City Marshal Dick
Tisdale who came to Chris res.
cue, but was denied admittance
to the room from whence Chris
had been "bsptized" 80 un-
ceremoniously, and the marshal
called Sheriff 8. j. Shaughnessy
to his assistance. When Sheriff
Shaughnessy arrived, cipituls-
ton soon followed and it was
learned that the young men who
had undertaken to give Chris
Rether the "water cure' were
not taking the same ''prescrip-
tion," but had converted the roof
of the COURIER building into q
sort of summer beer garden, and
it would make this story more
interesting if it were known just
where they got the beer. for if
the Sunday liquor law is being
violated the offenders ought to
be arrested and prosecuted. The
liquor business is bad enough
even when conducted within the
bounds of the law.
Ten arrests followed the
"rade" by City Marshal Tisdale
and Sheriff Shaughnessy as fol-
lows:
VIM. Billsborourh and Dennis
Carlton, acetylene gas NJ en-;
W. L. Hamilton, Cleveland
S,hell, Walter Taylor, w. 1.
Edwards, Rector and Ledru
Brewer, J. E. Martin and "Bud"
Thrash, all of Key tesville. A
charge of disturbing the peace
was lodged against them bafore
Justice j. M. DeMoss, and Sat-
urday, May 18, was the day set
for trial, but compromise was
brought about Tuesday and the
cases dismissed on payment Of
all costs by the defendants.
We now hope that "the boys"
will get on board the wste
wagon, take Chris Rether with
them and all "be good" in the
FUTURE,

Henry (Gay) BobblRS and ThoS. Dob.
bins Shot toDeath by Schuyler
StepeaS.
THE coRoNER's INQUEsTs.
Stephens Gave Himself Up and
is Now In Jail to Await a
Preliminary Rearing
AT KeyteSville To-
Morrow.

Another bloody page was
added to the history of Charlton
county at Dean Lake Thursday
afternoon about 5 O'Clock when
Henry (Gay) Dobbins and Thos.
Dobbins, father and son, were
both killed with q pistol in the
hands of Schuyler Stephens,
the father in law of Thos. Dob.
bins.
The trouble leading up to the
the double tragedy, 80 far as we
have been able to learn, was
about as follows:
A moving picture show, own
ed by Boone Green and Andrew
Persyn, both of Dean Lake, had
been mortgaged by the owners
to Thos. Dobbins for 5000, for
which Green and Persyn had
given Dobbins their note secnr.
ed by the mortgage. Afterwards
Green and Persyn sold the show
outfit to the mortgagee with the
understanding that the 5000
note was to be turned over to
them. This, however, Dobbins
later refused to do, and told
Green and Persyn that he held
a plain note of hand for $500
against them and they would
have it to pay, but they positive.
ly declined to pay it. The note
subsequently showed up in the
hands of Pete Dobbins of Bos-
worth, a brother of Thos. Dob.
bins, who claimed to have pur.
chased the note from Tom. The
note showed on the back that a
payment of S1O0 had been made
on it by Boone Greene, and
Pete Dobbins demanded that
Andrew Persyn pay him the re.
naming 500 alleged to be
due on the note, but Persyn
would not pay it, and PeteiDob.
bins brought suit against Per-
syn in Justice Alonzo Clark 8
court at Dean Lake. The case
was tried by jury who returned
. verdict in favor of Persyn.
Much feeling was engendered
in the community over this law =
suit and both Persyn and Dob
bins factions were created and
many heated discussions of, the
case took place between the
populace. Henry and Thos.
Dobbins went on the wsrpath
and evinced much ill feeling to.
ward Justice Clark, the jury
and Constable T. w. Triplett
and others. Among those who
had incurred the displeasure OF
Henry and Tom Dobbins was
Schuyler Stephens, W h {
daughter was Thos. Dobbins'
wife. While in front of A. D.
Beebee's drugstore Wednesday
afternoon Henry and Thos
Dobbine cursed and abused
Schuyler Stephens, and told
Stephens if he did not leave towr
; in 4S hours he (Stephens) woule
} "go off a.dragging."

MAN WAS MADE TO HUSTLE.
KEYTEsvII-LE MISSOURI, FRIDAY, MAY II, 1907.

Henry Dobbins and as Henry
turned to run he shot him again,
this time in the back.
Schuyler Stephens again
pointed the pistol at Tom Dob
bins and fired a second time,
Tom fell to the ground and Steph-
ems then ran up to Tom and
fired another shot at his head.
The first shot fired at Tom
Dobbins struck him on the out.
side of the left arm, causing
only a flesh wound. The second
took effect just below the short
ribs and passed entirely through
the body, penetrating the bowels
and lower sides of the spleen
and liver. The third struck just
back of the left ear, glanced
around the skull and came out
near the top OF the scalp.
The first shot fired at Henry
Dobbins struck the inside of his
left hand, near the base of the
little finger, and came out at the
back of the hand between the
first and second fingers. The
second shot entered the back
about 2 1.2 inches to the left
of the medium line, the bullet
blowing it's way through the
bowels and severing the renal
arteries and making it's exit
about two inches above the ma.
vel.
The through and through
wounds in the body of Doth men
were mortal, and in each case
of these wounds the pistol ball
was found just beneath the un-
derclothlng.
Henry Dobbins, after being
shot, was taken charge of by his
wife and 11-year.old son,
Patrick, and assisted to within
about 10 feet of the front gate at
the residence of his son, Tom,
when he sankto the ground and
died in a few minutes without
being able to speak after he was
shot the second time.
Tom Dobbins only lived about
10 minutes after receiving lis
mortal wound.
Reports are conflicting as to
whether Schuyler Stephens shot
Henry and Thos. Dobbins with
the pistol Ed. Stephens took from
Tom Dobbins or whether the
elder Stephens had pistol of
