The most important practical in- ternal improvements of a county, which appeals directly to the people are good bridges.

BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1903. COLE YOUNGER ARRESTED. A Charge of Embezzlement a Result of a Quarrel. Nevada, Mo., Sept. 21.—The James- Younger Wild West show is appar- ently upon the eve of dissolution. The management has secured the ar- rest of Cole Younger, his nephew, H. Y. Hall, and F. G. Lindenfelder, charging them with theembezzlement of $6,000. This action followed suite filed against the show by Younger for $25,000 and James for $4,800. The plaintiffs say they were damaged in these sums by thefailure of the real owners to equip the show according to contract and by the re- fusal to drive away the grafters, Both James and Younger say there is absolutely nothing in theembezzle- ment charge and speak of it as a purely retaliatory policy. .They have given out the following statements for publication; We have severed all connection with the James-Younger Wild West show. The managements were duly notified to choose between grafters and us. They refuse to eliminate the grafters, hence we refuse to allow our names to be used with a thieving Frank JAMES, CoLe YouNGER. “For twenty-five years we have lived exemplary lives and never shall associate ourselves with thieves or afters.
