Robert Stewart a farmer residing
about I miles north OF Sturgeon, who
suddenly disappeared from his home
about week ago and for whom the
officers have been searching ever
since, was arrested In Moberly Satur-
day afternoon by Chief Of Police John
Patterson. When arrested he was
sitting In the alley behind ]. $. Van
Cleve's furniture store. His peculiar
actions aroused the suspicious OF the
police and when he was examined he
was found to be entirely out OF his
senses. He had on his person q 3s re-
yolver, but never offered any resist
ance when he was approached by the
officer. He was taken to his home on
No "a Saturday evening and 1t is
thought that it will be necessary to
take him to the asylum. Mr. Stewart
is a brother OF the unfortunate Stur-
geon man who few years ago, barri-
caded himself In bis country resid-
ence and for several days stood of
neighbors with shot gun. He was
finally frozen out and later commit
ted to the asylum, dying there In q
short time.

himself. 1t was loaded. 1t exploded
