Prisoner Dunton Held on Murder Charge After Preliminary Hearing
Frank C. Dunton appeared in the criminal court for a preliminary hearing on the murder charge in the Meyers case. The hearing, before Judge Rogers, drew a large crowd as three witnesses testified and Dunton remained notably calm. The case will likely be heard at the January term, with J. H. Benron and another attorney to defend, while Prosector Kelly has hired I. D. Hastain. In a separate note, Sedalia's J. D. Hail Dry Goods Co. announces Mrs. Wilson of St. Louis will head their dressmaking department, bringing top-tier modiste credentials and strong endorsements.
