plorable thing. but the bandits opened
fire and the fight was Inevitable"
In short crisp sentences did Chief

with the bandits. The chief was hur-
ried for time and during the interview
occupied himself In preparing his kit for
a 4 ourneyto Chicago where he goes to

Early ON the Scene.
I'VE hit Springfield some time near
noon. Sheriff Grant Chase OF ssrpy

a rig. don't know the name Of the
man who owns II. We drove two miles
south and four miles west toward the
Blount farm where rumors had located
the three convlcts. At the Blount home
We satisfied ourselves that we had not
the right trail and struck west across
the farm to the road to chalco about
one-fourth Of mile distant We sighted
our men about 400 yards north on their
way to Chalco. B
Driver q. Frightened.
I'VE were three miles south OF Chalco
and the fight from then on was running

yards to the south OF where We started

enough for me and | ordered him from
the rig. Then / took the lines and laid
the whip to the horses so as to close
up the distance between the Blount
wagon In which the three were and our
RIG. ....
I'VE were a little over 100 yards from

team ahead and the big wagon were 60

TO be sitting or half bent. The three
men were standing up in the wagon.

I'VE we're probably 100 yards behind
when hailed the men and ordered them

got you. Get out Of the wagon and
you will not be harmed"
MY answer was a rain Of bullets.
Then Chase Trouton and myself opened

Hon. James Houchin, of Jeffer-
son City, Democratic candidate
for Governor, made a speech be-
fore a representative gathering
at the Mexico court house last
Saturday night. He doesn't talk
politics much. Thinks there is
too much politics talked, anyway.
Too many lawyers are put into
the high Offices. He thinks the
Governors Office is business
proposition and if he should be
elected to that place he would
treat the Office in that light. The
Message liked the talk, and we
believe it made a very favorable
impression.

been in progress three weeks,
closed last Sunday night. 1t was
an effort of power and resulted in
great good to the church and all
who attended. Twenty-one per-
sons were happily added to the
church, and eternity alone will be
able to reveal other good results
that shall follow. Rev. Z, +.
Wright, of Moberly, who assisted
Pastor Ayscue in conducting the
revival, is a man with power from
God, sweet and Christ-like in all
his ways and utterances, and with
such leadership the meeting could
not fail of success.

revived also, especially have the
men of the church become inter

eral cases in which large sums were
asked as damages. the Tuttle " the

others. the juries have almost invari-
ably returned verdicts for the defend
ants or SO small a verdict for the
plaintiff that it has amounted to prac

fact in discharging the jury Friday af-

remarked that he was glad TO see the
juries Of this term had evidently been
free from prejudice against corpora
