C. W. McCormick of near Spruce, in this county. Sheriff Bullock was n0-| heen $2,775.63 and the disbursements tified of his arrest and detention, and left Tuesday night for that place whence he will bring him back to answer to the charge. Mr. McCormick had. been visiting _ in Oklahoma, and returning home Thursday evening found young Bru- ner who had been working for him missing, together with one of his mares. Upon investigation it was discovered that the animal had been traded to Harve Johnson, the livery man, who gave $10 in boot. The animal traded from Mr. Johnson was sold to Lyman Hensley for $13. A meeting of the C. P. A. was call- ed Saturday to take action in the mat- ter, and after offering a reward for his apprehension, a search for the young man was commenced. It was discovered that he had relatives at Edgemont, S. D., and the authorities of that community notified. That the clue was a good one is evidenced by the fact that the young man was ap- prehended and is now being held pending the arrival of Sheriff Bul- lock. Farmer Plants Seed on Disputed Soil. Jefferson City, Aug. 21.—W. S. Pope, an attorney of this city, reports the discovery that a farmer from Virginia had put up buildings, planted _a large orchard and placed under cultivation a considerable acreage of land that Mr. Pope purchased in Mar- ies county, Missouri, years ago. The farmer had been living on the land for about six years before he dis- covered that he did not own it, and this bit of information came to him through Mr. Pope, who had all along held the good deed for the land and kept the taxes paid. Mr. Pope owns a great deal of wild land in Miller, Camden and and Maries counties, most of which he seldom visits, and some of which he has never visited. The farmer who improved his land was no squat- ter, but thought he had bought and paid for it. After an investigation, Mr. Pope sold him the land at cost. The man was a stranger in Maries county, but through a non-resident land agent, was induced to purchase 160 acres of wild land. He was shown Mr. Pope’s tract in place of the hilly, rough and almost worthless piece he purchased. Not being familiar with the Missouri method of describing land, he went ahead making im- provements and paying taxes on the land he had really purchased. Jury Would Free Haines. New York, Aug. 21.—The move- ment to secure a pardon for Captain Peter C. Hains, now serving a sen- tence in Sing Sing for the murder of W. E. Annis, was launched today by Aaron Berrman, an attorney. Berrman will present to Governor Dix a petition signed by the jury which convicted the Captain. The jurymen say in this paper that at the time of the conviction they made a recommendation for mercy, but it was ignored. They now renew it and hope the Captain will be pardoned, feeling he has been punished suf- ficiently. Thirty Years Together. Thirty years of association—think of it., How the merit of a good thing stands out in that time—or the worth- lessness of abad one. So there’s no guesswork in this evidence of Thos. Ariss, Concord, Mich., who writes: “T have used Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for 30 years, and it’s the best cough and cold cureI ever used.”’ Once it finds entrance in a home you can't pry it out.

Peoria, Ill., Aug. 20.—Peoria coun- ty farmers are preparing to convert their water cisterns into cider tanks to care for the bumper apple crop. Apples are covering the ground, there is no sale for them now and old bar- rels are not obtainable. Cider mills dismantled many. years ago are being put in shape for the rush. It is said the apple crop in this territory is the best in twenty years. “Cider is more valuable than water in this rain “+. belt,”’ said an orchardist, “and we will use the cisterns.”’ Even by Ten Dollars.
