LARGE BARN BURNED
Mr.. J. P. Tippetts Large Barn
Destroyed Together With
Stock and Grain.

Last Saturday night about 10:
30 the large grain and stock
barn belonging to Mr.. Tippett
and adjoining the corporation
was discovered by the colored
family living on the premises, to
be burning, and practically be-
yond hope of rescue from the
fire at the time Of the discovery,
Nathan Hyde, Mr.. Tippetts
trusty colored man, managed to
get the cows and horses out of
the burning building, while his
wife, giving the alarm by shout
ing that Judgement day had
cum" and seizing a little child
hurried to the truck patch which
she fancied the garden Of Eden.
Two Of the horses. Mrs. G. VI.
Dewey's buggy horse which low
ed everything but music, and
Mrs. Tippet's large old carriage
horse, ran back into the blazing
structure and were destroyed,
Mrs. G. NJ. Deweys horse falling
dead and rolling nearly out. It
is supposed that the fire origina-
ted from tightening. as a light
shower was falling and the top
of the barn was all on fire when
first noticed.
Mr.. Tippett had a quantity Of
of corn and oats and large amount
Of fine clover hay in the barn. be-
sides seed and implements, and
his loss is heavy. as the insur-
sance was but 500 on contents
and s400 on building the total
not being anywhere near enough
to cover either the value Of the
barn or contents.
Quite a number in town. led
by NJ. W. Anderson saw the
blaze and went out to render as
sistance. A foot race between two
society young ladies and their
escorts. was not on the program.
but record time was made by the
one who ran out Of her slippers.
The Courier deeply sympathizes
with Mr.. Tipett who has suffer-
ed great loss from fire.

JAIL BREAKERS CAPTURED.
Henry and William GauIding
Again in the Clutches Of
the Law.

y
and William Gaulding were ar
rested in st. Joe by Sheriff Mari
on Veatch on a charge Of bur-
glary and larceny, having rob-
bed a Santa Fe railway car of
merchandise at Dean Lake in
the northwestern part Of this
county. Waving preliminary
examination, they were placed
in Jail to await trial at the CON-
ing September term Of the cir
cult court. S. J. Shaughnessy
afterwards sheriff, at this time
was deputy sheriff and jailer.
Sometime after the prisoners
were placed in Jail, deputy Shau-
ghnessy was away one day and
Sheriff Veatch gave the prisoners
the liberty Of the corider around
the cells. Some Of the prisoners
secured an old broom, cut the
handle down TO about Is in
ches in length, and also cut
off the broom straw leaving
nothing but the short and stubby
very compact end. When deputy
Shaughnessy returned about
night and went up to put the
prisoners in their cells, he had
no sooner entered the door to the
corider than he was struck on
the side Of the head a powerful
blow by one Of the Gauldings
with the battering-ram broom
and knocked senseless. The
sheriff hearing the racket made
by Shaughnessy falling and
the prisoners running down
the stairway ran out the back Of
the jail and met Jim Gaulding
4 brother Of the prisoners. sta
toned at the foot Of the stair
way.
Jim Gaulding fired a shot at
the sheriff. who beat a retreat
as the prisoners and their bro
ther ran for the tall timber. and
made their escape. Diligent
pursuit was made and the
Gaulding boys were surrounded
in an old Shanty in a field in
Ray county. but again managed
10 outrun the officers and get
away. Henry Gaulding has been
employed In ST. Joe for the past
IL months as head janitor in a
large Office building going under
the name Of Joe Gualding. claim
ing 10 be a cousin Of William and
Henry. Last Friday Jim Gualding
wandered into Sc. Joe and was
quizzed by chief Of detectives
Ryan. who learned from Jim
that Joe was Henry. and furher
that William Gualding was run
ming a little restaurant at Elmira
In Ray county. Immediately
chief Ryan who had been on the
lookout for Henry and viii
Gaulding for n long time. tele-
phoned to Sheriff Harding Of
this county and enquired IL the
boys were still wanted. Sheriff
Harding at once sent an Alias
Capias TO the Chief Of Police Of
ST. Joseph who placed Henry

III TO come for him. Deputy
Geo. Gardener was sent for the
prisoner and returned with and
lodged him in Jail Tuesday after

STATE HIGHWAY
The Central Route Won

State Highway commissioners at
jefferson City decided on the
Central route for the Cross State
road. This starts at St Louis,
via: st. Charles, st. Peters, New
Florence, Fulton, Columbia, Fay
ette, Glasgow, crossing the Mis-
souri, river at this point, Mar
shall, Malta Bend, Waverly,
Lexington, Independence into
Kansas City. There has been
the hardest competition for this
road that has been put forth for
any improvement in this state
for years, and undoubtedly the
Commissioners have been put to
il the worst way to decide the
matter. II has been, all along
and is yet the opinion Of the
Courier, that Columbia or Jeffer-
son City or both would be favor
ed with the official route, IL the
Commissioners had to double
back from anywhere TO reach
them, and the view is sustained
by the selection Of the route over
as bad a part Of the state thru
which to build the road. as could
have been found in a years hunt.
From St Peters 10 Columbia
is the very worst and most ex-
pensive route to be built propos-
ed at any time or in any part Of
the state, and we learn that the
Court and people Of Montgomery
county refuse positively to under
take the improvement from New
Florence west. The Boonslick
and Santa Fe trail or bust was
apparently pasted in the hats Of
the Commissioners. and all the
work. time. money and patience
might just as well have been
saved TO the people from Mexico
10 Kansas City over the admitted
best route by an intimation Of
the fact.
The string 10 the adoption Of
the Central route may or may
not be pulled. Glasgow may not
get the right to put n fiange on
the c. & A. bridge. but that
privilege granted. what about a
SO foot dump TO get of or on il
with vehicles Of any kind. and
the 3 IL mile stretch Of the very
worst low bottom land in the big
bends Of the Missouri river over
which the road mustgo. Put all
Of the bad land between Mexico
and Richmond together and the
difficulty Of building n permanent
road over Il Is not 90 great as
over the stretch from the north
approach of the Glasgow bridge

pose Of the Governor. State

cnce Of the Commissioners has
been 10 keep the people stirred
up along the various proposed
routes and cause them 10 build
