A Matter of Much Interest.

Upon the petition of Lewis M.
Applegate and more than 100
other owners of land in drainage
district No. 4, known as the
Charlton river drainage district,
the supreme court of Missouri
has issued a writ of certiorari to
the judges Of the county court of
Charlton county, commanding
them to send up for inspection
the entire record and proceed.
ings in the matter of the estab.
lishment of said district, and to
show cause on or before January
5, 1909. why said proceedings
should not be quashed.
This is the case growing out of
the project to straighten the
Charlton river through this coun-
ty for the purpose of making
tillable something like $4,000
acres of swamp or overflowed
lands and involves an expendi-
ture of $3.50, 900 by parties whose
land is supposed to be benefited
by the construction of the ditch.
Bonds were issued and all but
about three or four miles of the
ditch has been completed and
mostly paid for out of the money
derived from the sale of the
bonds.
The writ of certiorari was is.
sued by the supreme court last
Saturday on application ofMessrs.
Crawley & Rucker of Keytesville
who are the attorneys fer the
petitioners.
The result is awaited with much
interest by the land owners
who must pay for the ditch if
proceedings stand. The bond.
holders are also on the anxious
seat for they will be the losers in
case heproceedings are annul)ed
by the supreme court as no re.
course can be had on the county.

recent November of circuit court,
has again been landed in the
county Jail to serve out q SEN
tence of 80 days and 20 days
for costs for buying q quarters
worth of meat at John Lewis
meat market Sunday morning
and having it charged to VIM.
E. Hill, telling Mr.. Lewis that
Mrs. Hill had sent her for the
meat. Mandy seems to be
confirmed criminal. Although
che is not II years old she has
been convicted Of a number of
petty crimes and doesn't miss an
opportunity to let her fingers
stick to other peoples property.
George Grace, son ofs the late
Frank Grace of five miles west
of Keytesville, stole and carried
away large, fine turkey from
it's roosting place in the barn
yard OF L. D. Hyde, e,one.half mile
north of town, Monday just after
nightfall, and sold it to R. J.
Aalley for S1.65. Deputy Sheriff
Dick Tisdale happened to be
standing by when the turkey
was delivered and weighed and
the money paid. Suspecting
there was something wrong
about the transaction on the
part of Grace the deputy sheriff
went out and found R. 8. Hyde,
L. DIS son, and took him into
Hslley's store. Young Hyde
at once recognized the turkey,
and suggested it had been stolen.
The deputy sheriff started in pur.
suit of Grace and at once located
him at the depot waiting for a
west. bound train and accused
him of stealing the turkey.
Grace confessed and was put
under arrest and taken before
Justice j. M. DeMoss, where he
pleaded guilty and was sentenced !
to the county jail for 80 days.
Add to that 20 days for the costs
makes a total of so days that
Grace will board and lodge at
Hotel de Shaughnessy. He was
q guest at the Hyde home for
supper Monday evening and
then proceeded, when he left, to
lift one of his hosts handsomest
turkey hens as an evidence of
his want of appreciation of
Mr.. Hyde's hospitality, and in
less than one hour he was in Jail
doing penance for his crime.

MAN WAS MADE TO HUSTLE
ON MISSOURI, FRIDAY DECEMBER l. oos
two More Divorce Suits.

Two More Divorce Suits.
Two more couples have found
marriage failure and have
brought suit for divorce at the
next February term Of circuit
court at Salisbury. These mat
rimonial misfits are Alice Green
and VIM. Green and Beatrice
Cray and Robert Gray.
Mrs. Green states in her pc.
tition that she was lawfully mar.
ried to defendant in Dallas coun.
ty, Texas, September 21, 1908,
and continued to live with him
as his wife until the 23rd day of
September, 1908. Plaintiff says
that she faithfully demesned her
self, etc., but charges that the
defendant, wholly disregarding
his duties as the husband of
plaintiff, and on the morning of
September %, 1908, having Sc.
cured about 81, ,175 from plaintiff,
which he pretended he was going
to spend for the benefit OF plain
tiff as we'll az himself anu make
some provisions for the future,
left plaintiff and since that time
his whereabouts have remained
unknown to her; that he has
failed to communicate with her
or make known his whereabouts
or reason for departure; that
defendant is a resident of
this state and can not be served
with process in this state. Plain
tiff states that che is now a resi-.
dent of Charlton county, and
has been q resident for more
than one year, next before the
filing of this petition. Plaintiff,
therefore, prays to be divorced
from the bonds of matrimony,
contracted with defendant as
aforesaid, and that she have
her former name, Alice Springer,
restored, and that the court make
such other orders and judg.
ments, touching the premises, as
may be proper. John D. Taylor
of Keytesville is Mrs. Green's
attorney.
Mrs. Beatrice Gray for her
cause of action is asking for a
decree of divorce from her hus.
band, Robert Gray, states that
she was lawfully married to de.
fendant in Wyandotte county,
Kas., July 8, 1907, and that she
continued to live with him as his
wife from and after the day and
year aforesaid until the - day of
February, 1908. Plaintiff AYERS
that she faithfully demeaned
herself, etc., but says that de.
fendant. wholly disrega1 ding his
duties as the husband of plain.
tiff, would get drunk and at
divers times come home and
curse plaintiff, calling her vile
names, and in many other ways
treated plaintiff in such manner
as to render her life with him in
tolerable, and that on the last
mentioned date he abandoned
plaintiff and refused to support
her or furnish her with any
means of support, and that
plaintiff has been compelled to
make her own living by day
labor. Plaintiff says further
that defendant is a non resident
of this state, and that the ordi.
nary process of law can not be
served upon him in this state.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays to be
divorced from the bonds of mat
rimony, contracted with the de.
fendant as aforesaid, and. that
her maiden name of Beatrice
Frazier be restored. Plaintiff
also asks the court for all other
and proper relief. y. A. House
of Sumner is Mrs. Gray's legal
adviser.
