Almost m Flowing Welt.
Since Thrash. Bros"', mineral well
was mentioned in last week Courier,
quite a number of our citizens have
contributed the needful frr the purpose
of having the well dr7.lt J deeper in the
hope that its health-giving waters can
be made flow out of the top of the well.
M. Dearmin. who his the work in
charge, has gone 3 i-a feet further
since our report of last week, making
the well 20! i-a fect deep, and the
water row stands within four inches of
the tcp. Woik will be 1 crimed again
to-day or to-morrow. Mr. Dearmin b
confident that by go.ng down a few
feet mere the well can Ik: made to
flow, ard that it wi'l ijpply an in
exhaustive amount of water
The fact that the horse, which op
crates the drill, raises it -1 com par a
tie!y little effort shows that the pres
sure of water is quite strong.
As soon as KeytesvJlc's mineral
well can be made to flow, the hole in
the ground, about which our ncgh
bor on the east has expended so much
money and wind, will drop into ob
livion, ana then we all invite Salisbury
to come over, 'drink and live for
ever. Deputy Sheriff I- A. Mgrudcr went
down to the "cut-ofT last Monday to
serve a wnt of restitution, of which F.
W. Munson, of near Dalron.and Capt
l.ouis ttcnecke. of Brunswick, were the
beneficial ic. The service of the wnt
of restitution gave these gentlemen
possession oT the south half of the
northeast quarter of section 27, town
ship 53, range 19. except five acres in
the southwest corner. The question
of the rightful ownership of this land
was settled in the Howard county or
cuit court last November, the case
having been taken from this to Howard
county on change of venue, the liti
jjants bctns Meers. Munson and
Ucnccke on. ore side and C C Cole
man, now a blacksmith at Snapp,
on the other. The costs in the case

The most entertaining and pleasur
able event of the season among Key
tesvi'Ies happenings was the birthday
supper given by Judge and Mrs. W.
V. Ruckcr at their palatial residence
and hospitable home on the evening of
February ist, 1897.
The supper and social gathering
was in honor of the natal day of three
residents of KeytesviDe. On that day
Judge Ruckcr reached the 42nd mile
stone in his journey through life. C
B. Crawley his 36th, and Mis Katie
White passed into that interesting
period usually denominated "sweet
sixteen.
The two gentlemen are legal lights
of no small cahber. They have both
distinguished themselves at the bar of
a number of the courts in this state
until they are regarded as being erai-
nent in their chosen nroiessioo. ui
late years Jude Rucker has sat upon
the bench of this judicial circuit and is
establi&t ing an enviable reputation as
a juTitt. Mis Katie White, the
young lady, is one of Keytesville's fair
est daughters, and perhaps never look
ed lovcier than she did 00 her 16th
anniversary. The guests, about 60 in
number, had x most enjoyable time
on this occasion. They entertained
one another by social converse until
supper was-announced when the more
elderly of the company were invited
but to a spread for a 3 persons. We
happened to be among the number.
and beioc somewhat of a iudze of
edibles, we say cnhcsitalingly that the
menu wks never surpassed in this part
of the moral vineyard, in neither qua!
itv. variety nor quantity, consisting of
oysters, raw and fried; old ham, tur
key and other fowls; all sorts of salads,
nuts, fruits, pickles, coffee, many kinds
of cake, ice-cream.. etc. For the sake
of several of the guests we must not
forget to mention the olives, to which
they did ample justice.
After strjper the clever Iost and
hostess continued the agreeable by
pissing around a box of fragrant, o
gars, wrucn completely capuvarca ue
mm . . .
pentlemen ruests. particularly Loo
Tooley, who some of the boys accused
of taking more than his share, which
statement must be taken with a grain
of caution. Lon had tle joke on
some of them about another matter.
and the accusation against bim was
the result of an effort, perhaps, to get
even.
While a large portion of the guests
were enjoyirg themselves in smoking
and chatting. Miss Kosic Stevenson,
our highly accomplished teacher of
music, entertained all with smc de-
hlful selections of song with ac
companiment as she gracefully and
skillfully presided at the piano.
A.i our descriptive powers are lim
ited and our words are inadequate to
do full justice in praise of this elegant
entertainment and feast, we give way
to Keytesville's local poet, who will
give the finishing touches in the follow
ing lines:

The Tanuary term of the Salisbury
circuit court adjourned last Friday af

for 1 5 days. A great deal of business
was transacted during the terra in ise
trial of cases, and 13 lndictmentaring

The onty case that went to trial, ck
which we have not already published
the result, was that of the state against
SamT Croff, of near Salisbury, . who
was tiied last Friday for perjurrv- but
the jury failed to agree, and the cause
was continued until the next July term.
Kir. Croff is charged with having
sworn falsely to a receipt he had given
Attorney W. II. Bradley, of Salisbury,
for some twenty odd dollars that Ma
jor Urauiey had collected lor Cro(l.
turned over to him and took his re
ceipt therefor. The alleged false
swearing by Croff was done in Justice
Singleton's court at Keytesville in Oc-'
tober. 1895, during the trial of the
case in which Maior IJrsdley had
brought suit against Croff for legal
services. Croff bought in the amount
Major Bradley had collected for him.
claiming the sum as an off set, and
swore positively that Major Bradley
had never turned the money over to
him, but as the major had not only
paid Croff the monev, but had taken
his receipt for it, he had Ooff indicted
for perjury. The jury, we understand,
stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction at CroflTj trial in the circuit
court last Friday.

Stole a Horse.
About sis: weeks ago a man giving;
his name as John Stanford, who
claimed to have worked for Thomas
Ferguson, a farmer over near Salis
bury, applied to Gen. E. W. Price, - of
three miles south of Keytesville, for
employment and was given a job.
Last Sunday, January 31st, Stan
ford disappeared and a horse belong
ing to Gen. Price vanished at the
same time.
Sheriff J. R. Dempsey was notified
of the the.ft of the horse, and had al
lot of postal cards struck at the
Courier office, giving a description or
the animal and thief, and sent then
out in every direction, but neither the
horse had been recovered nor Stan
ford captured up to the time of going;
to press.
The horse is described as a light
grey pacing gelding, 9 or 10 years-
old, 15 1 -1 2 hands high, wtth a scar
on inside of hind leg, and had on &
cushion-seated saddle with iron stirrups.
when stolen.
The thief is described as being;
about 35 years old, 5 fect rr inches-
high, light mustache, light hair and
weighed about 165 pounds. lie has
an Irish 1 rogue, and when last seem
was dressed in an overall overcoat and.
a white slouch wool hat.
Gen. Price cEfers $25 reward for
the return of the horse and the ap
prehension of tie thief.
The buxom boss of our local con
temporary, while net exactly gambficg
pet haps, is indulging in "a game of
chanoen that should be repulsive to
every devout follower of the meek and
lowty Jesus, to say nothing of its un-
butness-like nature. It's a case of
tails I win, heads you lc.se." The
Signal is taking the announcements or
some candidates for township offices in
this way: If they are elected, they are
to pay for their announcement, Lut iff
they fail to win, their announement
isn't to cosj them a cent. This is an
