Clark was shot while assisting Miss Shawberg to leave herhome. He had raised a window and the young wo- man was coming down a ladderfrom the second story. When almost at the bottom the ladder fell and she screamed, This waked Judge Shaw berg and he immediately opened fire with a shotgun, Clack was struck in his right hip, but managed to reach his buggy with his intended bride and the two left in a run, Shawbery went to the home of John Redmond, a neighbor, and the two started in pursuit. After following the couple for ten miles, Shawberg and Red- mond gave up the chase and returned home. Clark and Miss Shawberg eame back a different read to the town, and while the father was get- ting a crowd of friends congregated to assist him in the search for the couple, they were married at the resi- dence of Justice Crawfory shortly af- ter 6 o'clock, dudge Shawberg found the couple at the Crawford house an hour after the marriage, but was denied admis- sion and returned home without see- ing either his daughter or her hus- band. Considerable romance sur- rounds the courtship of Clark and Miss Shawberg. When she was 13 years of age, her father engaged her tomarry John Redmond, an orphan, and large property owner. Redmond and Miss Shawberg went together constantly for several years until Clark opened a law office here. Clark and Miss Shawberg were at a picnic four months ago, and he saved her from being run over by a runaway team. Judge Shawberg invited him to his home and for three months Clark has been a regular caller, Clark finally proposed for the hand of Miss Shawberg, and though ac- cepted by her, Judge Shawberg ob- jected and the young man was refus- ed the house. Since then a constant watch has been kept upon the young woman and she has never been seen away from the house, except when accompanied by her father or Red- + —The-elopement—was by an exchange of notes, carried by a colored woman employed by Judge Shawberg.

Gallaher, @ representative of one of the most influential families in St. Joseph, was yesterday afternoon taken into the penitentiary at Jefferson City to serve five years for embezzlement, Gallaher was, formerly receiving teller in the First Natioual Bank of Buchanan county. The last federal grand jury indicted him on the charge of embezzling $24,000, He pleaded guilty in the United States district court and five years was the penalty. The shortage in the bank has been made up by influential friends and a strong fight was made to keep the young man out of the penitentiary, but when the case got into the United States court there could be no com- promise.

The dog accompanied her, and the bull became enraged at the dog, and when it ran behind its young mis- tress, attacked her, Her clothing was torn from her body and several of her ribs were broken.

Ninety-five per cent of the entire coal field is owned and controlled by eight railway companies, The lines of these eight companies furnish the sole available means for transporta- tion of anthracite cowl to market, In pursuit of a settled policy these railway companies have forced pri- vate owners to sell their coal mines and coal lands at half value, first, by increasing the freight rates, and, sec- ond, by refusing to carry the eoalior private owners at any price whenever such owners could not be brought to terms by the establishment of exor- bitant transportation rates. Owning the coal and owning the railroads over whieh the coal is trans- ported to market, they fixed the freight rates at an exorbitant figure in order to make consumers pay dividends on tne overcapitalization of the railroads and coal mines. While rates for other and like prod- ucts have fallen, anthracite coal rates have been advanced by the railways, until they are nearly twice as great us cotton or wheat, supply in order to force a strong de- mand and high market price. As shown by sworn testimony up- on trials and investigations, more than $200,000,000 in excess of a fair market price has been exacted from consumers, Gravest in City’s History.
