Alton Weekly Courier August 16, 1855

Aug.6----Last Friday morning our village was quite stirred up by the news that during the preceeding night, a fine horse belonging to Dr. Henry S Strong had been stolen, the thief taking off at the same time, a saddle and bridle belonging to George H Dewey. While this news was passing around, a new excitement came into the field, a young man was arrested for attempting to pass counterfeit money; he made several attempts to dispose of the bill, and finally, thinking perhaps that he had tried it a little too often, he went to a livery stable, and tried to get someone to take him to St. Louis, but he was too late. Mr. Huffy, to whom he had offered the money, with the aid of others, took him before Justice Nelson, who committed the rogue to jail, and he was safely lodged at Edwardsville before night. He gave his name as Ferguson, and said he was from Fairfield, Wayne Co., in this state.

Springfield, Mo., Oct. 20---Yesterday, postoffice inspectors George W White and George W Porter arrested James G Hilliard, deputy postmaster at Seligman, Barry County, Missouri, on charge of robbing the mail, and brought him to this city, where he was arraigned before United States Commissioner McLane Jones.

The Carthage Banner September 14, 1882

Deputy U.S. Marshal Betts received a telegram last night from Seligman to the effect that the hack carrying the mail between Seligman and Eureka Springs was robbed yesterday between the two towns. The mail bags were rifled, and passengers searched and their pockets emptied. No further particulars. The government officials will ferret out the robbers.


The Carthage Banner September 28, 1882

The name of the Eureka stage robber is Jim Payton. He was arrested in Barry County, near the Arkansas line, by Constable Smith, of Eureka Springs. He was taken before Commissioner McLane Jones, of Springfield, by deputies Betts and Roper. Payton was committed to jail in default of $1,000 bail. The chain of evidence against him appears strong.

Shooting Scrape On Roaring River

There was a little one-sided pistol matinee at Eagle Rock, in Barry County, on Monday, January 12, in which Moses Farwell shot Jasper Smith, a blacksmith, in the bowels, probably with fatal effect. From Mr. D.D. Ames, who was in the neighborhood about the time of the shooting, we learn that a dispute arose in regard to a whisky debt of 15 cents, which Smith couldn't or wouldn't pay Farwell, when the latter drew his revolver and shot him, as stated. Farwell has given himself up to the authorities. He claims that Smith tried to stab him with a knife, and that he used his pistol in self-defense. Smith was still alive at last accounts.

The Newark Advocate Ohio June 23, 1951

Alert Newark policemen Friday night arrested a man wanted by Missouri authorities for passing bad checks and suspicion of burglary and larceny. Police departments in Ohio were asked Wednesday to be on the lookout for Ernest Thompson, 42, of Potosi, Missouri, who was believed to be heading east in a 1940 Hudson with a Missouri license. The radio message was relayed to members of the city police force. Friday night a vehicle answering the description was spotted by patrolmen and Thompson was apprehended.





Chillicothe Constitution Tribune May 14, 1952

Potosi, Mo., May 14---Three men and two women, believed by the highway patrol to be the same persons who held up the Willis Freeman store at Banner, near Ironton, last Thursday night, obtained $850 and considerable merchandise in two holdups at Fletcher, a small farming community, near here early today. Patrolmen said all the men were armed and were traveling in an old model, faded maroon colored automobile. They robbed the Fletcher General Store of $800 and some merchandise then went across the street and entered another store taking an additional $50 and clothing valued at $140, terrorizing the merchants during the robbery.

Joplin Daily Herald June 9, 1885

Cassville Democrat---Off and on, for the last seven years, there has been a man in Roaring River Township going under the name of J.J. Johnson, but later information goes to prove that this man Johnson, is the real James Cummins of the James brother gang. He had invested in some real estate down here, by buying a claim and swapping the claim for the old chair factory place. He also acted as a deputy constable, in that township, for some time. Some time ago he left rather suddenly, but before leaving, he told someone down there that if he never came back they could have a horse and several other things to keep, that he left with them. We don't doubt but what his information is correct, as we have questioned several parties from that locality about the matter and they are all of the same opinion.

The Fair Play April 10, 1873

A Few days ago a young man from Washington Co. Mo., named J.F. O'Farrell, in waiting at the Vandalia railroad depot, was accosted by a man who gave his name as W. Woods, and represented that he owned a farm near Collinsville, Illinois. He made an agreement to hire O'Farrell to work for him. Woods then asked him to lend $25 to pay for freight. O'Farrell had only $16.75, which the bogus farmer took, leaving the young man dead-broke. O'Farrell admitted that he did not read the papers and had never heard of confidence games.
