Jobn Hockaday, one of the pio- neers of Misgoun, died at his home in Iudependence, Mo, Saturday. He was im his 83d year, and has been a resident of this state for over sixty years. He was a native of Ciark county, Ky. Judge Reece came up Tuesaday to hold court The other two judges bad trausacted the business and re- turned home before the presiding officer arrived. Judge Reece labored under the impression that court would meet Tuesday. He went down and inspected the jail however and expressed satisfaction at the progress of the work on that institu- tion. Marion Hedgepeth, the train rob- ber recently sentenced to twenty five years imprisonment for robbing a 'Frisco train at Glendale, ceme near making his escape from the jail at St. Louis, Saturday night. He got out of his cell all right but made a mistake in the window se- lected for his exit and the slight noise he made in reaching it attract- ed the attention of guards and he was overhauled. It isa pleasureto note one fact. There has not been a single kick, to our knowledge, on the building of the new jail. Neither has there been aword said about stealing. ‘The court appropriated a certain amount of money to be expended for the building of the jail, and they relig- iouly lived by the appropriation. The jail is about eompleted, and is as substantial a structure of the kind as can be found in the state and is a credit to Bates county. William Culp,a bad young man who has been working as a farm hand near Merwin, is laying out a fine in jail for carrying concealed weapons. He is also held under a bond of $400 for the February term of court for shooting at Frank Sheets with intent to kill. The shooting | took place Dec. 1st, at a dance near | Merwin, and in the melee a bystand- er was shot in the hand. Culp is | about 20 years of age and we under- | stand hails from Kansas. | _ If the booming Truus is not up to | the standard next week in local and | general news it will be because the | printers are taking a little Christ- |mas.
