Ellis was in the city Monday and compliment- ed the Times with a pleasant call Mr Ellis stood high aa a ‘legislator at Jefferson City. and the speaker in recogniticn of his ability, made him a member of several of the most im portant committees. The Times watched Mr. Ellis’ course during bis stay at the capital and feels justified in saying that but few counties in the state was more ably repre- sented in the legislature. The Rich Hill Review has found a wild man in the jungles on the Miami, in the neighborhood of Stumptown. This time it is a black | map, and he wears in hia belt two! big six shooters and a dirk knife. He| carries in his bosom a lizzard and| two large rattle snakes, and it is} said he charms rabbits end birde. | He is a big fellow, and his actiosn bas caused great alarm among the | ntaives in the bottoms. He has been seen by a number of people and to one or two he has ventured to talk, but refuses to give his name. The Review profers the information that the wild man is an escaped criminal and wanted in some large city for heinous crimes committed The native, says the Review reporter, are watching him closely and the firat time he is caught napping he will be made a prisoner.

Scott, as porter and clerk, and bad been to Eldorado Springs for his health Arriving at Harwood on his return to Ft. Scott, he went into Mrs. Gee's barn and cut his throat with a pocket knife.
