SHERIFF QUELS
NEGROES
PARTY OF INTOXICATED BLACKS
BOARD WABASH TRAIN IN THIS
CITY SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SHERIFF HUSTON, OF MoBERLY
QUELLS INcIPIENT RIOT.
Makes Arrest of Han Who Was
Celebrating and Holds Friends at
Bay With His Fists Having No
Fire Arm.

The following from the Sunday
daily Democrat publishned at Mober-
ly Is tself explanatory: "There was
something doing on the Wabash ac-
commodation from St Louis, last
night, just before 1t pulled into Gen.
tralis. A crowd OF about fifteen neg
roes, all loaded to the gills, boarded
the train at Mexico and went into the
smoker where there were several white
men They had not been on the train
long when they became boisterous and
one OF the white men called them
down.
At that time there was big negro
buck standing In the aisle Of the train
cursing and raising cain In general.
When a white passenger told him to
stop the noise all Of bis bunch got in
and told him to stay there as long as
be wanted to and make all the noise
be could. About that time Sheriff W.
G. Huston, who was returning from
Jefferson City, appeared on the scene
and warm fight followed.
The negro still refused to stop bis
noise so the sheriff flew into him with
bis fats. He had to almost beat the
negroes head into Jelly before be
would give in after he had partially
conquered him the rest OF the bunch
got smart and Mr.. Huston had to
show them their place. When the
train stopped at Centralia the negro
made an effort to get away from the
sheriff and another good beat
ing was administered to him after
which he was willing to come to Mob
erly without any more trouble.
at Oentralia fully twenty people
shook hands with Mr.. Huston, con-
graduating him upon his bravery and
the manner in which he coralled the
bunch, which has the reputation OF
being bad,
1t takes some nerve to go into
bunch Of fifteen or twenty negroes
lone handed, especially when they are
all 'shotn but Sheriff Huston went
after them like be meant business and
after ten minutes fight he had them
under control He sustained q severly
mashed finger in his wrangle and is
deserving for his good work.
He brought the negro to Moberly
and locked him In the jail | where he
will be kept until Monday at which
time he will be turned over to Wabash
secret service agent, HarrYHutton.

,'In the last report q the RegIstrar

"In the last report q the Registrar
General Of England that for 1906 it
appears that not a single death from
the disease occurred either 10 1906 or
any OF the preceding three years. In
the course Of the last eight years, only
two deaths by hydrophobia have been
reported 10 Englandland Wales. The
answer OF some people to this state
ment is that In those years the muz-
cling Law was In operation in England,
but this is no mere true than 1t is Of
like regulations In this county. II is
enforced only about as much as it is In
Philadelphia, and no more. l have
repeatedly called attention to the fact
that In places where the largest num-
Der Of sick and homeless dogs are gath

The report of the Superintendent
Of the New York Society for the Pre-
ventlon Of Cruelty to Animals, dated
April last; stated that In the last
fourteen years IN handling 1,l55, 900
small animals, taken principally from
the public streets, the Society $
agents had been bitten about 1900
times, but not single case OF hydro
phobla had followed.
Or. Matthew Woods, Of Philedel
phia, has been investigating hydro
phobia during about twenty years, and
has offered TO pay sl00 to any person
who will bring him an undoubted
case Of hydrphobia. and has never
seen genuine case Of the disease.
The Oldest hospital In the country,
the Pennsylvania Hospital, has had
only one supposed case of hydrophobia,
and this was found to have been dag
nosed enormously.
DR.. William Osler, formerly OF
Johns Hopkins University, but now of
Oxford, In his standard work on path
ology speaks Of hydrophobla as an all
ment Of exceeding rare occurrence, He
describes lyssophobia, or pseudo-hy-
drophobla, as very Interesting affec-
tion which may. closely resemble hy-
drophobia, but is nothing more than
q neurotic or hysterical manifesto
tion.
