Patrons of Rural Routes Com
ply With Law.

An order was issued some time ago
that all rural route patrons who did
not make their mail boxes comply
with the government regulations,
would have their mail discontinued.
Monday was last day of grace and as
the result many farmers securing
their mail via the rural routes out of
this city Immediately got busy and
repaired their old boxes or substitute
ed new ones. So far as known, all
mail boxes on the eight routes emerg-
ing from Richmond are in good condi-
ton and no farmers will lose their SER
vice on account of them.

ALEXANDER JESTER,
FAMOUS CHARAC TER.
PAYS FINAL DEBT
(Continued from Page One)

Jester was seen with both his own
and Gates outfit Gates was travel
ing to his home in ST. Charles, H.,
and had written his parents thai he
was en- route His last letter to his
parents was mailed only a few hours
before his sudden disappearance.
Begin Search for Missing Man.
Azel A. Gates, the father of the boy,
became alarmed at his nonarrival and
fearing that some disaster had befal-
len him left his home in search of his
son. For days he failed TO. find any
trace of him. until at last it was dis
covered that he was travelling with
Jester, and on reaching Hannibal, Mo-.
he found that Jester had both wagons.
From that point on to Indiana it was
easy to trace the outfit. On arriving
at Bedford he found that Jester had
returned to Kansas, and A. A. Gates
reached Wichita before Jester arriv-
ed He had by this time concluded
that his boy was dead and that Jester
was the murderer.
Jester arrived at his home late in
the afternoon and awaiting him was
the sheriff and Azel A. Gates.
Jester was taken to Mexico, Mo-,
and placed in the Audrain county Jail
to await trial A few months later
he, with several others escaped Jail.
He returned to Wichita and remained
only one night when he left his family
forever, never seeing but one of them
since He went to Texas, changed
his name to William A. Hill and took
up life anew. He was past so years
of age. He was married three times
while living twenty-five years in
Texas. He entered the ministry and
was noted for his fervid piety and
it is matter of record that he dedi-
Gated at least one church. But his
neighbors were always suspicious of
him and many looked upon him as a
criminal.

testers Identity Discovered.

After testers divorce from his
fourth wife his identity became known
to his sister Mrs. Street, with whom
he travelled from Indiana. and as she
was growing old and having quite a
sum of money she agreed that If he
would not marry again she would pur-
chase a home for both of them and
they would spend the remaining days
of their lives in comfort and ease.
To this plan Jester agreed and the
property was purchased. When the
deed was made, instead of being made
out to the rightful owner, Mrs. Street,
Jester had it made out to himself.
Only a short time elapsed until for the
fifth time Jester began preparations
for entering the matrimonial state and
when the fact became known to Mrs.
Street she insisted that their compact
be carried out, but this Jester refus-
ed. Exasperated at the thought that
in her declining years she should be
the victim of her brothers duplicity,
she addressed letter to John w.
Gates telling him of the rightfui name
of the accused murderer of his broth
err and where he lived.
Mr.. Gates chartered special train,
took with him the proper officers, and
succeeded in placing the old man I'M
der arrest AT first he denied his
identity. but later admitted that he
was Alexander Jester, and gave a
lurid account of his life since his es-
cape from Jail.
Faces Trial for Ancient Crime.
A change of venue was taken from
Audrain county and the case sent to
Rails, and Jester confined in the jail
at New London, where in July 1900.
over twenty-nine years after the crime
had been committed, he was brought
to trial. After five weeks of trial he
was acquitted. the state being unable
to prove that Gilbert Gates was dead,
the corpus delecti being lacking.
