Shelby made quite a narrow escape, and in his fall from the vehi- cle was rendered insensible for a mo- ment or so. Mr. Norton escaped un- hurt.

Hays, Repairer and Rebuilder of Furniture. —Of All Kinds— UPHOLSTERING & MATTRESS MAKING, —Done to Order on Short Notice.— While Marshal Wolfe, Joe and Sam Ray were boatriding on the Marias Des Cygnes River, below Bell’s Mill bridge, one day last week they found a tightly corked bottle, containing a letter, floating in the river. Lhe trio became greatly ex- cited. Visions of aship wrecked sailor drifting at the mercy of the turbu- lent waters of this mighty stream,on a hastily constructed raft, sending a last and loving message to friends and loved ones at home, came vivid- ly to mind. They hastily put to shore and after breaking the bottle discovered the following pathetic epistle written in red ink by one of Foster's fair-haired, blue-eyed darlings whose sentimentality is much greater than her judgment. We presume of course the name at- tached is fictitious, and the whole intended as a harmless joke: Foster, Bates Co., Mo., 1889.
