A Correction.
In the Journal's report of the fare
well reception given at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. FP S. Young last week,
we unintentionally omitted to state
that the same was tndered in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Snavely, as well
as Mr. and Mrs. Warren Wiley. Mr.
and Mrs. Snavely who have resided
in this community for a number of
years, have removed to a farm near
Nehawka, and the reception was in
tended as much for Mr. and Mrs.
Snavely as for Mr. and Mrs. Wiley.
It is injustice to all parties, and
especially to Mrs. A. L. Baker and
Mrs. McDonald who were the prime
movers in getting up this pleasant af
fair, that we make this correction.
Mr. and Mrs. Snavely are highly es
teemed by the citizens of Murray, and
It was with deep regret that their
leaving this community occurred, and
everyone wishes them health and
proseprlty in their new home.' We
are very sorry the error occurred,
as no injustice to any of the parties
was Intended.
Well Pleased in Lltei1y.
L. F. Korhell from near Union,
was in the city a couple of days this
week looking after some business,
and visiting with his many friends
In and neur the county stiat. While
hero he paid this office a brief call,
Informing us that he is doing well
down In Liberty, and likes his new
home, but always enjoys a visit with
his old friends here.

THE ISSETS
III
E
Are Charged With Disposing of
Household Goods That Did
Not Belong to Them.
Andrew Brlssey and his wife were
placed under arrest last Monday
night just as they were about to
leave the city for a trip to the south.
The arrest was made at the M. P.
station by Nlgbt Officers Trout and
Young who were armed with war
rants charging the couple with grand
larceny and also , with obtaining
money under false pretenses. The
complaints against the parties were
filed by Peter Claus, who had pur
chased what purported to be the j
household effects of the Brlssey's
Monday afternoon. According to the
story as told by Mr. Claus, he was
approached by Mrs. Brlssey who
wanted to sell him the furniture in
the house which they were occupying.
He examined the property and con
cluded to purchase the same, offering
tho couple $20 for it. This was ac
cepted and the money was" paid over
to them. Mr. Claus then loaded
up the property and had it taken to
his store. The bouse which the
Brlssey's occupied was the property
of an insane woman, who is now in
the asylum at Lincoln, and the prop
erty in the house was hers as well
The woman is represented in this
city by Attorney A. L. Tidd. At the
time Mr. 'Claus was removing the
furniture from the house, some of the
neighbors living In the adjoining
property noticed the matter and fin
ally told him of their suspicions. He
consulted Mr. Tidd and learned that
the Brlssey's had no title to the
goods they had sold him. He Im
mediately concluded to take steps to
protect himself and got into touch
with County Attorney Ramsey with
the result that a complaint was filed
before Justice Archer.
Immediately on selling the prop
erty to Mr. Claus, Brlssey and his
wife began preparations to leave the
city and Intended to go south on the
midnight M. P. train. They went to
the depot with this idea in view and
here they ran into the officers as out
lined above. After the arrest the
parties were brought down to the
city where the woman and the child
ren were , taken to the rooms of Dep
uty Sheriff and Jailer Manspeaker
and confined there while Bnasey was
cast into jail. It was the intention
to aralgn the parties today but Coun
ty Attorney Ramsey was too busy In
district court today to get to the
matter and the case will have to go
over until the present case on trial in
the district courf Is disposed of.
The complaint which is filed
against the parties alleges the value
of the goods which they Bold to be
be ovpr $50 but it is not believed that
proof of this can be established and
it is probable the greatest amount
which the goods will no valued at
will not exceed $30. The goods sold
had been stored In the house as the
property of the insane woman, a
Mrs. Tagg, and were distinctly ex
empted from the property rented to

the prisoners. The accused parties
do not seem to realize the gravity of
their offense and several who helped
them move to the depot are of the
opinion that the wife had very little
to do with the case. All of the
money which Claus advanced for tho
goods with the exception of $1 was
found on the person of the man and
returned to Mr. Claus. The one dollar
which was missing, Brlssey Btates he
used to pay for hauling their trunks
and bundles to the M. P. depot. .
