Mr. Wheeler, tho new druggist, was evi dently lnliorine under a ppcll of mental deprcssioi that came within one of ending bis life. I'lobahly business met tern orried him, nnd ome one had evidently meddled In his private affairs, so that tiesiwuident temporar ily uiiH'tUed his mind.

Hy that time, however, the first dose had taken etTcit nnd be was soon stretched out like one dend. The two Dr. Sta ceys were summoned In baste, and later they were reinforced by Dr.

If our government is willing to pay the peace commissioners such handsome salaries it certainly would not object to paying living wages to have its mail carried. Something should be done to protect the people against the contractors." Jeff Storts, who recently created a reign of terror In Judge Pealffidy's court in SL Louis, lived in Shannon county 15 years ago and was tried for the niurdir of Dr. Peters.

In rcfer eneo to tho Post Dlspatoh'a story of the tragedy, the Current Wave Buys: "It In Elated that Storts was tried for shooting Dr. Peters and that tho foreman of the Jury brought In two slips of paper, one of which stated that We, tho Jury, find the defendant not guilty as charited In the while the other, which was handed to Storts after court had adjourned, read: We. the jury, fin? you 20 bottles of beer for tailing to kill your man. Oeo. i Dcutherage, There was never a bisger lle nor a greater Blander on any people.

F. Chilton, at pres nt. representative of this county, wa'a at that time sheriff, and he says Storts wiirt' never tried for bl.t attempt on Peters' nor did he ever know ti. o. P.

At the session of the county court the first of the week, Gib Barbee of Joplln, as assignee, made demand cl the court for the J3 i0 reward offered by that body on May "th, 1830, for tho arrest and conviction of the ptrson or persons who attempted to WilliPii Meadows at li is home near clranby cn the night of April ISth of that year, says the Neosho Miner and Mechanit. The motive of the crime teas undoubtedly robbery, and it closely followed eeveral burglaries and rob ter'es in and around Granby. In order to put a stop to these depredations and ferret out the guilty parties the court made the offer of the reward. Shortly afterward John Tate and William South were arrested for the crime, Indicted by the grand Jury, and In due course of time were tried separately and each was convicted and sentenced to the pen for three years. Both took aa anneal to the supreme court, and the judgment in South's case has been affirmed by that body.

He has left the country, however, and at the lat term of our circuit court his bond of $5U0 was declared forfeited and collected, the money being paid Into the county school fund. While South was In our Jail awaiting trial, he, with soma other prisoners succeeded In getting out one night, and Sheriff Thomas spent ai hundred dollars In securing hlrf re rapture. The parties who were Instru mental In securing the arrest and con vietloi) of South and Tate sold their claims to Mr. Bay bee. The county court refused to pay th reward In full but offered to pay $150 In full of all demands on that store.

It remains to lie. teen whether Mr. Barbee will ae ctnt this amount or Institute suit against The county for the $'i0. The Polk county ccurt Is having some long needed bridges built. Wednesday they visited the bridge under construc tion across Pomme do Terre.
