WOUNDED LOVE.
4Gy Deceiver Of A' early Three
Ncore.
from The Nevada Mail.
A Story of wounded affections and
financial wrongs was told in Justice
Meyer's court Friday afternoon. It
was one
ol the common kind m
hich the woman
was the injured
party, . i" ', . . J
The prosecuting witness was Airs.
E. A. : Phillips and the prisoner is
known to the world as Pnilancier
Morean- B'th were neatly dressed
and sufficiently intelligent to make
the trial interesting. Morgan is about
55 years' old, and his gray hair
should admonisn him to turn his back
upon the vanities ol the world. He
;s j roan ""above the average size,
with heavy forehead, jutting- brows
clear pay eyes, which are rather
mauVihd an aquiline nose unusually
Jge. having a curvature which a
hawk might envy. The chuckle in
1ich be frequently indulge! during
the trial would make a fortune if
transferred to the stage. , ..
Mrs. Phillips is a little woman
.itb a tongue. Her now of Ian-
' ' r v ' . 9-r t ' - t' -
guage is excellent. i nougn not
handsome, she is by no means ugly.
Stt'hs probably ?sccn afmany as
thirty summers.
This is the story as gathered from
the testimony : ;
Morgan says lie met Mrs. Phillips
at Butler, Mo., She arrived there
in company with a man who was
not her husband. She became
squainted with . Morgan and they
soon patched up relation of an inti
mate and confiding character. -
Morgan .swore Mrs. Phillips was
traveling under at. assumed name
when he met her, and that she told
of her anxiety to keep her residence
concealed irom her parents.
- Mrs. Phillips had a buggy and
team which Morgan sold with her
consent for $275, and paid a debt of
$38 out of that sum, of her contract
ing." '
Together Morgan ami Mrs. Phil
lips came to Nevada several months
since. The former had three chil
dren and the lattar five. They ren
ted a house' near the depot and com
menced house keeoing the money
from the sale of the team constitu
hngtlie fund from which they lived.
Morgan was an auctioner, but the
amount of his business was not
brought up in his trial.
After living here about two months
Morgan told Mrs. Phillips to take
her children and go to her par
ent at Paola, . Kansas, and he
would dispose of their effects and
follow her in a tew days, and that
upon his arrival they would be mar
ried. The woman did as requested
oat the faithless man packed up the
joods, sold part of them, shipped the
remainder to Carthage, went to But
ler on the 14th of last month, as al
leged oy the prosecution, and mar
ried another woman.
The newly married couple went to
Carthage to live, and while the honey-moon
was ui progress, poor Mrs.
Phillips was at Paola waiting for her
fover.. Hut the faithless ad was
soon discovoied and Mrs. Phillips
came to Nevada and accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Ed Harmonv fol
lowed thegav deceiver to Carthage.
He was arrested and brought here.
Mrs. Phillips recovered a part of
her furniture.
Justice Myers fixed Morgan's
hail at JRSnr .tml in default v:is sent
jail . "
Five bald-headed men attended
i fhc jial, and seemed to enjoy it iai-
nicnscly. Some ot the county .' offi
cers were absent:

dealings have great respect for you,
and we feel at a great loss without
you. We want you to return to
Bates tor we fear you will hang in
Vernon, and that would be a slander
on our county as you have been here
so long and never been under an ar
rest. You should have stayed in this
county. You might have known
you would have been arrested when
you left it
When you get out ot this scrape
we advise you to come back and
stay. We wish you good luck in
your trial, but we cannot attend.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Harrisonville Democrat: Small
pox is prevailing to some extent at
Smithton, Pettis county.
Clinton Advocate: The Hon.
county court has been induced to
take action upon the question ot
circus license. They have reduced
the price to $100, but reqire an ad
ditional S100 for all side shows, so
that, virtually, the license is but lit
tle changed, and we doubt very much
whether it will be any more accept
able to circus managers than before.
Lamar Democrat: The county
court will submit the proposition to
build a court house. , This question
will be an oft recurring one, as it
must be met. The Judge will refuse
to hold court in the place it is held
nov. The county court don't wish
to be compelled to erect a shed out
of a tew old idanks. in the public
square. Ami our county is too pop
ulous now to hold court, keep the
records and furnish offices and have
all the work done in a cheese box.
We must keep up with the times.
Clinton Advocate: Sunday night
or rather Monday morning as Fred
Warren was returning from the fire
in going past Harpers residence he
heard something fall into a well
or cistern in the yard. Upon
examination he found a cow floun
dering in the water ami recognized
it as Ed. Middlecoff's. He notified!
Ed. and means were at once enter
ed into to extricate her lrom her un
pleasant predicament. A team of
horses was brought out, a rope pas
sed around the neck of the cow and
a board placed under her. and just
as everything was ready to start, the
brute began to flounder in the water
which frightened one ot the horses
and he started off in a rush, and the
other keeping pace with him. The
consequences was the cow was yank
ed out of the cistern at a double
quick, dislocating her neck in the
operation. Ed. who was standing near
came near being badly used up by a
rail which was caught by the double
trees to which the runaway team was
hitched. The scene for a few mo
ments, is represented as decidedly
lively.

The wonderful revival meeting at
Park Avenue church . continues.
People are here from the surround
ing country, attending the meetings
The Review is mistaken in saying it
began last week when Mr. Weems
came. The pastor already received
a large number into the church.
The last week was the most success
ful. Every meeting this week has
been wonderful. The church is
crowded every night by the time it is
lighted up and at the afternoon
meetings there is always a crowd.
The conversions number about 140
many of whom have joined the
church.
