Our next town was Pineville, which We got to with in tlree-fourths miles of and camped for the night. The man living near where We camped gave Us quite different version of the killing which took place there the week before. He said that Bacon did not make any at tempt to resist the sheriff, in fact had no gun at all. Bacon told the crowd that It was nothing but murder. The sheriff was go- ing to arrest him for some trou- ble he and brother of the sheriff's had on the reunion grounds the day before. This man claimed that Bacon was not drinking that day but was help ing his mother at the hotel do the cooking.

The next day, Friday found Us on the road again. Our first place 10 pass through that day was the town of Pea Ridge, then to Powell. Mo-, and from thence to Stella, Mo, where We camped for the night. The night reminded us of New Eng land weather. We fixed tor the rain to come up from the north and it came up from the south west. The next morning being bright and fair We pushed on our journey. Cur first town for that day was Granby. We had heard ot the town for number Of years, and were much disap- pointed at not seeing a much larger place. The town seems to be made up of just one street and mines as far as one can see. From Granby We directed our course toward Diamond City, which place We reached about one o'clock. We are now in part of the world where the roads all run on section lines. Ne now inquired for our brother-iu-law and found We were to travel just two miles north and the same distance west when We should find our destined stopping place.

take the shape of a bill to be pre-
sented to the bipartisan Legis-
lature for a constructing commission,

present capitol is not a State House
but a Court House, and was built for
a court house in the first place
The matter has always created more
or less agitation.
