On last Thursday night Jim Wit-worth, who lives on Canville creek, seven miles north and a little west of this place, discovered so ne parties on his farm driving a team of horses hitoh-ed to a spring wagon and leading two other horses. Mr. Witworth having learned that some horses and a spring wagon had been stolen the night before became -t-uspicions that everything was not just right, yelled at the parties and told them to halt, but instead of halting they struck for the timber along the creek. Mr. Witworth believing they were horse thieves immediately apprised the neighborhood of the fact and a search was maue for them.

Mr. Witworih and his son then took a position near a thicket and guard ed the approaches all that night. During the night Mr. Witworth saw a man approaching on a mule and as he came up Witworth sprang up and made him throw up his hands, and on approaching him discovered it to be no other person than that of Mr. Henry Johnson, who lives near Chard.

On being asked what he was doing in that locality, he said he had been to Erie and on his way back had fallen asleep and his mule had strayed of with him. Mr. Witworth being well acquainted with Johnson believed him and let him pass on home but the next day it was dicovered his trail that he had not been to Erie," but had gone direct from his home to the thicket where he had met. Witworth. On leai ning this fact suspicion became rife that Johnson was harboring the horse thieves and had went there lor the purpose of piloting them out of the thicket.

Friday word was sent to Sheriff Hood who, in company with J. M.Allen and a posse of men left here, and during the day a diligent search was made up and down the sreek. At night Sheriff Hood surrounded Johnson's house and brought him out, and on being pressed pretty hard he was made to confess that George and William Bothwell were the parties, and that he expected Will Both well there that night, and repuested the Sheriff to retire and come again at a latter hour and he would no doubt be able to capture him. Sheriff Hood and Allen then went away and in a short time returned again and covered the ap proaches to the house until o'clock the next moruing. Having seen no one approach the house during fhe night, and hearing the sound of a wagon at some distance they followed in persuit of it, but on overtaking the wag on they discovered it to be a farmer on his way home.

Saturday morning a large number of the anti-horse thief association from Osage Mission and near Parsons passed through town enront for the scene of action, and during all day Saturday the woods and fields in that vicinity were alive with men searching for the outlaws. Bet.veenone and two o'clock m. a squad of men run on to George Bothwell, who was concealed in a hog peu that stood in a thicket of sun-flowers on the Johnson farm, and being in rather close quarters he jumped out of the ien and struck out for a field close by. fii-eing at the crowd as he run. His persurers then surrounded the field and cut off all avenues of escape.

He was part of the time concealed in a bean patch, and parties riding around through the patch to discover his whereabouts he would raise up and blaze away at them keeping them at long range. During this skirmish a Sweed had a hole put through the rim of his hat, and another man had one put through his coat sleeve. It becoming a a little too warm for Bothwell he made a desperate effort to escape and broke for a gape in the hedge, but before reaching it he was headed off by Ed. Maher, from near Parsons, who commanded him to surrender, but instead of obeying the order he leveled bis revolver on Mr. Maher and sent a ball whizzing through the left breast of his vest, which indeed, was a close Mr.

Maher instantly returned the compliment by letting him have a little cold lead the ball taking effect in one of his thighes which knocked him to the ground but he soon rose and started to run, and just at this juncture a man by the name of Richardson came up with a shot gun, and as soon as Both well seen him he leveled his revolver 011 him, but Richardson was too quick for him, p.illing the trigger of bis shot gun and letting him have the contents of one barrell in the face and hend which sent his soul into euternitv. The remains were taken to the residence of Mrs. Bothwell, mother of the deceased, who lives about three miles north of here, and were Interred in the cemetery at Bethel church last Sunday. An incesant search was kept up for several days for the capture of the other Bothwell, but failing to discover his whereabouts it was abandoned. However several rumors were afloat one that he was seen hanging to a tree and another that he was shot while swim-in the river.

Mr. Whit-iii-y. we understand contemplates to Nevada. Mo. When any Republican feels aggrieved the solid truths the Democrat utters, and pronounces them lies, if he will irive us a chance we will prove them truths by the highest authority.

Mission Democrat. Never mind. Bro. Hardy, there are no Republicans who feel aggrieved, consequently you need, not put yourself to any uneasiness about looking up the highest authority. There are places In town, and some them can be found right on Main street, where the stench arising from old carion is sufficient to drive a dog out of a tan yard.

In fact the man in the moon is obliged to hold his nose while passing over the putrid and obnoxious places. Such nuisances are not only obnoxious to the smell, and digesting to strangers when visiting our town, but they are fruitful of engendering contagions diseases. We hope the health officer will investigate and have the cause removed. Since the election of voting bonds for the erection of a court house and jail in Wilson comity. Neodesha is innch dissatisfied with the result, and.

in the. name, of Wm. Johnson, seeks to enjoin and restrain the county commissioners from issuing or negotiating the bonds of Wilson county, or erecting any permanent buildings in Fredonia. Judge Still well granted a temporary injunction, and the question was set for bearing in the district court last Tuesday. Editor Republican We would advise parents who contemplate bringing their children to the re-union, to put bells around their necks, as there will be danger of them getting lost in the high weeds on our streets.

On Main street in front of some of the business houses, the rabbits can play hide and seek in the grass. Second street from Main to Lincoln, the property owners might make it profitable to taka a herd of cattle to pasture for a month. Several other streets are in a like condition. Some men would wade through weeds to their chin, before they would pay twenty-five cents to have them cut. Let the city council pass an ordinance requiring citizens to keep their side walks clean, at least.

Erie. The suggestion to the city council is a good one, an.l we hope they will take some action in this direction. Ed. From the ticket nominated by the Republicans last Saturday, one can read the hand-writing of Lodge. Mission Why, bless your heart, Bro.

Hardy, the people of thi3 county love to behold the 'hand-writing'" of Mr. Lodge, and when you have resided long enough ill Neosho county you will have learned that fact. When Mr. Lodge was commissioner during the year of 1873 and up to the time of his retirement, the people were made to rejoice and were exceedingly glad on beholding his "hand-writing," for it conveyed to them the glad tidings that some thirty-thousand dollars indebtedness had been lifted from rhc county, and that county warrants, which had become so depreciated that they were worth scarcely fifty-cents on the dollar, were made worth their face value, and all brought about without any additional levy upon taxable property. Oh yes, Bro.

Hardy, the people think a great deal about the "hand-writing' of Mr. Lodge, and whenever you bare anything to say about him just mention his and all will be well. i CnxMEAT MARKET Corner Third and Main Erie, Kali.
