A recent article in the Republic re- lating to senator Vest’s career recalls to my mind a little incident which took place many years ago in a little red brick court house, then standing in Clinton, Mo., which iliustrates Col. Vest’s impulsive nature and fiery temperament. A trial was in progess in the Henry Judge Foster P. Wright on the bench. The parties involved were all of prominent families of Henry county. John Will- eounty eircuit court, with Jameson had been shot and killed. Jno. @lask was accused. Clark died in jail while awaiting for trial. Joe Means of Wun. D. Steele, the present prosecut- mg attorney of Pettis county—were Perk Steele, the latter a brother arrested as accessories to the crime. Steel was exonerated by the courts and Means was on trial as_ principal accessory. Eminentcounsel had been engaged for the prosecution and for the defence. As was usual on such occasions the sourt house was crowded to overflow- ing with spetators. I, then a boy, was among them. Among the lawyers side the engaged in the case upon one were Colonel George G. Vest, “little giant of Missouri:” his law partner, John F. Philips, now judge court for the of the United States western district of Missouri, and James G. Gantt, the present chief justice of Missouri supreme court. @n the other side were Waldo P. Jobnson, ex-United States senator; Banton G. Boone, afterward attorney general and Colonel Josh LaDue whowas acandidate for state senator and was elected a few months later. The examination of witnesses was conducted upon one side by Colonel Philips and upon the other by Judge Johnson. Senator LaDue, however. would occasionally question a witness and frequently objected to questions Rropounded by Colonel Philips, who wagon the opnosite side of the case. This caused Colonel Philips to make some very pointed remarks regarding what he called Mr. LaDue’s interfer- ence, and he informed the latter sar- eastically that Judge Johnson,who was conducting the examination, was fatty competent to do so, without Mr. La Due’s assistance. LaDue was not daunted by this, however, but con- tinued in his objections as before. Finally Colonel Vest, who had been sitting quietly by arose and address- ing the bench, protested strongly against LaDue's frequent interrup- tions, and closed by saying that it would be well for LaDue to save his stump speeches forthe next campaign LaDue arose angrily, and, addres- sing Vest, said: “That sir, is just as unprofessional and ungentlemanly as your partner's (Colonel Philips) speech’’. In those days the ink bottles used in the court house at Clinton were of heavy crockeryware, set in large blocks of wood. Seizing one of these. Colonel Vest, exclaiming, ‘Dont tell me that I am not a gentleman!” fired it at LaDue’s head. The future senator's aim was bad. LaDue dodged behind a table and the bottle struck Judge Johnson on the back of the head, knocking him out of his chair, while ita contents were re- eeived by theimmaculate shirt bosom af General Boone. Great consterna- tion ensued in the court room. The injury received by Judge Johnson put an end to any further trouble be- tween the lawyers for the time being, and the judge was conveyed to his hotel for repairs. Judge Johnson, who wag chief counsel on his case, was unable to proceed with the trial at the pending term of court, owing to the wound in the head, so the case was laid over until the next term ef court. In the meantime Means, the prisoner, escaped from jail and was heard of no more definitely. It was rumored that he died a number ef years later in the mountains of the far west. Cononel Vest was fined by Judge Wright for his attack on LaDue, but the fine was remitted. Ledenioe who igs ees ve this turbulent scene Ju: Johnson and Colonel] eatin poe numbered with the dead, and the others are far advanced in the ‘‘sere and yellow leaf” of life. CcASBSTORIA. Beasts The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature WEBB CITY IS AFFECTED. Supreme Ceurt Decision Disfranchises Voters and Curtails Population. Webb City, Mo., —The deci- sion of the state supreme court, in an opinion by Judge Gautt of division No. 2, in the case of state ex rel. W. A. Moody, collector, appellant, vs. Thomas E. Wardell, respondent, de- claring section 1466 of article 4, chapter 30, revised statutes of 1889 unconstitutional, affect Webb City in several respects. By it the corporate limits of the city are greatly reduced, about 3,000 people are thrown out of the city, about 600 electors disfranchised, so far as the coming electiom is concerned, and one councilman, W. H. Shelton, oust- ed from office. The territory eliminated from the city consist of the following additions: Barrett heights, Lowrey’s, Cottage hill, & Nelson’s and Mineral Ridge. * These additions were annexed after the passage of section 1466 sup- ra, and hence, under this decision, never were a part of the municipal corporation of Webb City. What effect this decision will have upon franchises granted, bonds issued contracts made and so on by the city council, based on a popular vote of the electors of the city, is a question upon which there is a difference of opinion. The 600 electors who are disfran- chised are trying to find some way out of the difficulty, but this being a city of the third class, it would seem that nothing short of an act of the legislature and a proceeding in ac- cordance with such act: would enable them to again regain their franc- chise.

Wednesday, Jan. 24.)—The garrison is watching Gen. Buller’s guns shelling the Boers. Their fire can be seen at this distance and appears to be very effective. The movements of the Boers show that they are evidently determined to stubbornly oppose the advance of the relief column. They show no signs of removing their guns, and have mounted new ones, and are con- tinually strengthering their fortifica- tions. Our fortifications have been greatly strengthened since Jan. 6, and Ladysmith is now practically impregnable Owing to the dry weather the fever has diminished and the number of convalescents recurning from In- tombi camp exceeds that of the pa- tients beiug sent there. The supplies are spinning out splendidly, all the troops havi, sufficient wholesome food. The heat is terrific, the thermome- ter registering 107 degrees in the shade. A Strong Fortification.
