fill the office; and, as he is the choice of the people from this place, we
think he had better look after his interest in other parts. But, nevertheless, his many friends here will
be glad to see him at any time.

days he was brought to the county farm, where he has been under the care of the
county physician. It became necessary to
amputate some of his toes and fingers and last Monday, Doctors BREWSTER,
MILLER, JONES and KEANEY, Jr., met to perform the operation. The patient insisted on taking chloroform and
they proceeded to administer it, but before the usual quantity had been given
they noticed that the patient was sinking, and they then used every effort to resuscitate
him, but all to no effect. He died in a

HURTGEN,
Last Friday’s St. Louis
Republic contained a lengthy account of the disappearance from the city of a
girl named Kate NEVIN, and a saloonkeeper names Patrick BRESHAHAN[?]. The man was charged with an outrageous crime,
and the girl was the principal witness against him. On Saturday, a little after noon, two men and
a young woman stepped into the Recorder’s office, in Hillsboro, and asked for a
marriage license. The Recorder asked for
their names and they replied: “Patrick BRESMAHAN[?] and Katie NEVIN.” Mr. McNEARNEY
remarked that they were the parties wanted in St. Louis, but they denied
it. He stepped out to see some one else
about it, when the parties hurried out, got into their wagon, and started for
DeSoto as fast as their horses could travel, refusing to stop when ordered. After telegraphing to have them intercepted
at Victoria, Sheriff MAUPIN, Constable FORREST and Jos. J. HOEKEN procured
horses and started in pursuit. The
pursued party had a two horse rig, hired from Andy FRECH at DeSoto, and were
putting the horses through at their best ?, one of the party taking the lines
from the boy, who had been sent along to drive.
When the boy would attempt to take the lines they would threaten to
shoot him. They passed through Victoria
before the partners got in sight. One was
whipping up the horses, while the other flourished a revolver, threatening to
shoot. Several men tried to stop them,
but after striking Willard STROUP with the whip and shooting at Jim BOYD with a
pistol, they got through. Jos. HOEKEN overtook
them near Frank VAUGHN’s and held them at bay till other came up, but they
continued to act surly and ugly, and it was with difficulty they were managed
at all. They were escorted back to
