Our town was in quite a stir last
Friday morning on account of the
location here of the lost preacher
from Franklin county, and about
whom the st. Louis papers had
printed columns for a week pre-
vious. Friday evening a stranger
came walking into town from the
north; he stopped at the restau-
rant, ate supper and then went to
the barber shop. This was about
five o'clock. | saw, as he came
walking along the track. that he
answered the description of the
lost preacher. I went into the bar
Der shop and asked him if he was
not a preacher. He said, eyes"
| asked him what church he rep
resented. He said, f'the Church of
God" I then asked him his name.
He said his name was Tribble. l
asked him then how long would
he be in town. He said, ''over
night" and then went to the no.
tel. That night | thought over it,
and concluded he was surely the
missing preacher. Next morning
Rev. w. w. Strother and l called
on him, and | gave Bro. Strother
an introduction to him. We in
vited him to spend the day here,
but he declined. Our object was
to telephone his friends, but when
we found we could not hold him. !
showed him his picture. Then he
wilted and said, "You have got
me,'' and gave us a full descrip-
ton of his trip from Moselle and
Pacific on the Frisco railroad, and
asked us not to telephone his peo-
Pile, as he was going back on the
first train. But we had already
called up Rev. Henry johnson OF
| st. Louis and also the Post-D Dis
Dispatch. They met him at the
Broadway Station. He is unques-
tionably a bright young man, but
his mind is not right, and we were
sorry to see him in that condition.
He said he stayed a day in Iron
ton, and worked a while in the
Enterprise Office. He was also in
the REGISTER Office, but was not
recognized. He had the pictures
and clippings of what the papers
had to say about him.
VIM. Stevenson, our county
Judge, met with quite a misfortune
last Friday evening. He was go
ing to College Hill, and had to
walk through a skirt of woods. All
at once he came into a gang Of
dogs; eight or ten Of them attack
ed him aud got him down; they
bit him through the hand and on
his legs and back and would have
ruined him, but he mahaged to gel
on his feet and drove them off.
The dogs we're following a female
dog, belonging to Arthur Staabs.
That kind Of a dog should be put
up, and Jul grand jury ought to
look after such cases.
