ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING.
Don't Buy Goods From a Travel
ing Hobo Peddler.

The Auxvasse Review last week
printed the following concerning a
happening over the Galloway line,
south of Mexico;
n. Tennoey alias Charles
Farris came into Auxvasse Satur-
day morning in a stage of excite
ment and hunted up constable
Holland, and swore out a
warrant against +. q. Berry,
who resides about 3 miles north
east of Auxvasse, charging him
with shooting with intent Ito kill.
Deputy constable b. p. II. Neal
went down to Berry's place Satur-
day afternoon and served the war
rant. Berry gave bond for his ap.
pearance before the Esquire Hol-
land Monday at / o'clock.
At the preliminary trial it devel-
oped that some time last fall Ten
nOey had sold Berry a bill of goods
and before Tennoey left a quarrel
ensued and Mr.. Berry ordered him
off the place and told him not to
come back there anymore. But it
seems that last Friday Tennoey,
alias Farris, again visited the Ber-
ry place for the purpose of selling
another bill of goods. Mrs. Berry
had purchased a pair of table cloths
when, AS, Mr.. Berry testified, Ten
nOey and Mrs. Berry became in
vOlved in a quarrel. Mr.. Berrey
was in an adjoining room lying
down. He arose and went into the
room where TennOey and his wife
were and ordered Tennoey to leave
the place. Some rough language en-
sued and Mr.. Berry seized his shot
gun. Tennoey grabbed hold OF
the gun and tried to take it away
from Berry. After Tennoey had
left the house and was at his wa
gon untying his horses Mr.. Berry
took shot at his wagon. Severa
witnesses were examined and after
hearing testimony on both sides
Prosecuting Attorney Tincher con
cluded that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict Mr.. Berry il
the circuit court, and after giving
him some good wholesome advic,
about using fire arms he was dis
charged.
It developed during the hearing
Of the case that TennOey was sell
ing goods under a license issued il
the name of Charles. Farris an,
that the license was made out fol
, a pack peddler. TennOey wa
Z peddling with a two horse wagol
, loaded with goods. In fact Ten
noey was peddling without licens
and in strict violation of the law
, of Missouri. Mr.. Tincher tol
, him that it was a serious offens
o against the law, but as Tennoe
could not read he told him b
would let him Off without paying
d fine il he would take out licens
s in his own name and pay all cost
g in this prosecution.
n There is no doubt in our min
l. that many of the hobo peddlers q
IS ing over the country selling cheal
= shoddy goods at high prices hav
no license, and we think that wh'
one of these vendors is caught I
'' with he should be punished to Il
full extent Of the law. Our advi
* is: Don't bny goods from trav'
o. ing venders and peddlers.
