A typographical error in last week’s county court proceedings made it appear that the court had awarded a contract for grading in Rockville township, at $124 per yard. This should bave been 12 cents per yard. Miss Pearl Dodson, the pretty daughter of a Calhoun, Mo., merch- ant, ran away from home last week She met Will Durant, whose stage name is Harry Demello, when he visited Calhoun with an Uncle Tom’s Cabin show.Later he became an actor ina little one tent circus, where he cap- susceptible to marry a circus man. tured young Pearl’s heart. The proof of the assertion often made in the Post that a Nevada thief will steal anything comes in the statement made by Dr. E. L. Priest, that hie thermometor was eurrepti- tiously removed from his front porch One day last winter a red hot stove was stolen out of a man’s house in the suburbs of the city. It is likely the same thief got last night. the thermometor soas to regulate the stove.—Nevada Post. Under the head “Don’t Kill us,” the Pleasant Hill Gazette perpetrates the following snake story: “It is the first time in our recollection that we have ever been guilty of attempting to perpetrate a snake story, yet as a chronicler of current events we are compelled to state that last Monday morning during our heavy storm a large snake, three feet long, crawled out upon the sidewalk in front of Mr. J.S. Wilson’s residence. Mr. Wilson quickly dispatched his snakeship and his carcass can now be seen at his place.” A distressing case came to our aotice recently: A farmer rented a small farm of poor land for cash rent. When the crop was made he turned the whole crop over and had to give up his team for the balance due on the rent. Tne fgeneral law allows a matried man $300 that is exempt from legal process or dis- trees. It would seem from this that land rent is a preferred creditor. True the renter does not have to go into such a contract, but he does.— Holden Enterprise. Brakeman Killed on First Run. Nevada, Mo, Dec. 21.—Missouri Pacific Brakeman Ernest Allen, aged 25 years, was killed by the cars in the Nevada and Minden branch, near Liberal, Sunday night.

Robinson be temporarily suspended from the office of prosecuting attorney, and that his official conduct be investi gated “in reference to the act of compounding a felony” in the cases against Charley Castle. Castle was under indictment for felonious as- sault and some time ago Mr. Robin- son agreed that he might enter ‘a plea of common assault and be fined $20, provided CAstle would leave the state. The fine was paid and de- jfendant left the state. Judge Lay asked Mr. Millsaps if he bad any evidence to present to the grand jary, and Mr. Millsaps stated that he had nothing except the act above stated. Judge Lay then informed him that Mr. Robinson's actions in the Castle matter were perfectly proper and be bad done nothing wrong unless there had been money or other beneiits received. The Judge further told the petitioners that if they could furnish him legal evidence of any improper conduct officially on the part of Mr. Robinson he would eee that proper prosecution was had.-—Osceola Democrat. ss eialagata ca nega.

Montgomery, a lawyer, lost his life in a sensational street duel at noon. His slayer is John F. Joyce, a re- tired capitalist. Montgomery was standing in front of the court housa equare talk- iog toa man when Joyce came up and accused bim of having wrecked his home. At the same moment he drew a pistol from his outside coat pocket and fired twice. One shot lodged near Moatgomery’s breast bone and the other entered his heart. After the shots were fired Joyce started to run down the street, put- ting his pistol in his pocket as be did so. Montgomery pursued him and drew a revolver from his pocket as be ran The men ran probably 25 yards, only a few fest apart, be- fore Montgomery succeeded in get- ting his revolver in position to fire, but apparantly at the very moment What is | years and do not know of a single case where {large number of pcople, and a crowd -|hcliday trade hundreds of pounds Scott’s | Emulsion ?

Joyes continued to run a short distance after Montgom- ery fell. When he perceived that be was no longer pursued he stopped and submitted to arrest. When Joyce was seen at the jail a few mioutes after the shootiag by a correspondent of the Times he said: “You know the cause of the shoot: ing as well as I do, and I prefer to say nothing now.” The alleged intimacy between Montgomery and Mrs Joyce bad been talked about for some time. Both men have been prominent io Missouri affairs for about twenty years. Last week Montgomery and Mre. Joyce ran away and went to Omeha, against Joyce's will, and Joyce at the time wanted to kill Montgomery, but was disarmed and prevented from doing so.
