In the meantime the remains of Major Dawson were taken to Whit- sett’s undertaking rooms where an inquest was held, bringing out the above facts. Soon after the killing and while Tabor’s wounds were being dressed great crowds collected in groups upon the streets and excitement ran high. Sheriff Henley, who had come over from Harrisonville, and Con- stable Burgess, hearing that alynch- ing party was forming, hastily and quietly got their prisoner out the back way and placing him in a car- riage drove to Harrisonville. It was rumored to-night that the sheriff's party was intercepted on the way to Harrisonville and the man taken from them and hung, but this rumor seems to have but little foundation. Tabor was evidently a hard case, as burglar’s tools were found in his Possession, as well as false keys, a jimmy and other articles. It is the general opinion that if Tabor had been kept in town to night he would have met death at the hands of an excited people, as Major Dawson was one of those quiet, accommodating men whom everybody liked. The funeral of the dead man will take place to-morrow at 2 p. m. from the residence of his brother-in-law, T. D. Cooley, one of the prominent business men of Pleasant Hill. Tabor stated that his father and brother were in Nevada or Colorado, and they were telegraphed to, and their reply substantiated the man’s statement.

We are sorry to learn that Mrs. R. R. Pierce is very low and small hopes are entertained of her recovery. She was seemingly much improved the last of the week and her brother, Mr. Powell, of Texas, left for home feeling encouraged that she would recover. She, however, took a re- lapse the first of the week and her physician and friends have little hope that she will live but a few days longer. : Elastic starch at the Grange Store —the finest and best starch in the market.

The programme was well carried out, the subjects being ably handled; the singing was splendid; the refreshments were good; among them was a fine lot of melons fur- nished by Mr. J. H. Kirkhof, who decided to give his best watermelon to the school that sang the best. The Lone Star Sunday School got the melon. d Vistror. J. K.
