After McNaught had seated him- self ina car of the Fort Scott train the stranger who stood by the reg- ister in the waiting room accosted him and informed him that he him- self was going to Springfield with the corpse of his brother and that he was a prominent hardware merchant in Springfield. After they had conversed ten min- utes Hamilton came up and was in- troduced to McNaught asa frieght agent, Henry B. Stanley by name. The so-called Stanley demanded from the hardware merchant the ex- pense of. transporting the corpse. The hardware merchant said he had only a check and could not pay the ok expense. He turned to McNaught and asked a loan, offering his check. McNaught took out $80 and gave it to the hardware merchant who in turn gave itto Stanley. Me- Naught examined the check careful- ly. It was drawn on the First Na- tional bank of Kansas City and made payable to Henry B. Stanley by B. B. G. Fishback for $1,575. Mec- Naught was suspicious of the check and demanded his money back. Just then J. J. Williams, the Union depot porter, came into the car, and passed by the group. Hearing the old man talking about the check, he walked toward the party when the two confidenve men took to their heels. Williams gave chase. The tall.man jumped from the platform of the Fort Scott car to the Union Pacific train opposite and ran down the platform and escaped. Williams and McNaught followed Hamilton who tried to lose himself crowd on the platform, but ran into the arms of a Pullman porter and was captured. When the crowd heard the nature of the charge against Hamilton it surged about him shoving him font ro about, and it required the efforts of paeoiitteedos atecr ay ae dis- all the depot officials to keep him 4 from being harmed. Hamilton was taken into a private room and searched, but at first no gold was found on him. After a F 1.0. 0. FELLOWS. Bates Lodge No. 180 meets every Mon- night.

The post office at Ore, between this place and Harrisonville, was the scene of a shootipg affray last Sun- day morning between Ed. Stone- {street and C. E. Mills both well in the| known citizens of that vicinity. It seems a quarrel had been growing for some time over the possession of | a hay rake which Mills had borrow- ed of one R. C. Bruce, the owner. The parties met at the post office, a quarrel! ensued in which they came to blows and Stonestreet being the younger man of the two, was bela- boring Mills severely when the latter drew a pistol and fired two shots at Stonestreet, one of which tood effect, severely wounding him. It is thought the wound is not dangerous and that Stonestreet will soon recov- er. Mills was arrested and gave bond for his appearance before After a Horse Thief.

The dog, ! we are told, formed an attachment for the “flowing bowl” in his young- er days, and often becomes so intox- icated as to reel when he attempts to walk. In his intoxicated state the dog cuts some funny didoes, oft- en- going about wagging his tail, with an occasional bark, or leaping over chairs, rolling upon the floor, etc. The dog is as regular in his drinks 96 @ certain candidate for the post- mastership whom we might mention and on Sunday the poor fellow (the dog, not the postmaster) can be seén loitering about the saloon, casting an occzsional wishful glance on the inside—and when he does géiin, he has been seen to stand | and drink beer from a bucket for fifteen minutes, and invariably be- comes more or less intoxicated.
