Learn more about farm leases on Sept. 24 University of Missouri Extension is offering meetings on farm leases on Sept. 24 at locations across the state, including one between 6-9 p.m. at the First Christian Church, 1501 Main Street, Gallatin.

Topics include current cash rents and trends in Missouri, items to discuss and put in a lease, when and how to terminate a farm lease legally, recreational (hunting) leases, who is responsible for various costs, and livestock and crop share arrangements, says MU Extension agricultural business specialist Joe Koenen “Farm leases are a popular topic given common current cash rent levels and volatile crop prices,” Koenen says. “This program helps landlords and tenants understand the terms and expectations to develop a fair

agreement for both.”

MU Extension specialists who have worked with tenants and property owners teach the program using distance-learning technology so audiences can interact with instructors and other participants.

Contact your county MU Extension center by Sept. 20 for information on fees and registration.

Bill’s Barn added to Service Center

The Seventh-day Community Service Center in Gallatin is adding “Bill’s Barn” in honor of Bill Reed, who passed away this past February. The building in his memory is located in one area of the Clay Street parking lot. Jamesport Builders began construction on Aug. 19, and expect to be done in a few days. The 32x24 building will be an extension of the thrift shop. A plaque will designate the building in memory of Bill Reed, director of the Daviess County Food Bank from 1999 to 2019. It is being built with donations from Bill’s memorial fund, to start, along with other funds from other sources.

25-mile pursuit begins here, ends in Harrison County A 29-year-old Olathe, KS, man was arrested Aug. 13 after a 25-mile chase that began in Daviess County and ended in Harrison County. Stephan Anderson was taken into custody with the assistance of multiple agencies.

The pursuit began when Daviess County Deputy K. Cornett attempted to make a traffic stop on a silver Honda Accord that was northbound on I-35 at the 66 mile marker traveling in excess of 90 miles per hour. The

Judge Adkins finds Ricky Kidd innocent in habeas corpus case Daviess County Associate Circuit Judge Daren Adkins issued a ruling on Aug. 14 which released a Kansas City man, Ricky L. Kidd, who had been jailed for the past 23 years for a robbery and double murder that occurred in 1996.

Judge Adkins presided over a four-day habeas corpus hearing in Daviess County Circuit Court from April 23-26 and had taken the case under advisement. He made the ruling last Wednesday in DeKalb County.

Ricky Kidd was released on Aug. 15, a day after the ruling was made. The state was given 30 days to decide whether or not it will retry the case.

The case originated in Jackson County in 2015 when plaintiff Rick L. Kidd filed a writ of habeas corpus in DeKalb County where he was incarcerated at Crossroads Correctional Center.

Kidd was represented by the Midwest Innocence Project, along with co-counsel Sean O’Brien and Cindy Dodge, in the case which was heard in Daviess County.

Ricky Kidd and Marcus Merrill were charged with murder in 1996 after three men fled the scene of a robbery and double homicide on Monroe Avenue and 70th Street, near Swope Park.

Later, in a deposition, Merrill swore that he and two other men, Gary Goodspeed Jr. and Gary Goodspeed Sr., committed the crime. According to the Midwest Innocence Project, which worked for years to exonerate Kidd, prosecutors withheld information included in depositions that could have been used in (continued on page 3) Kidd’s defense.

driver failed to yield to the deputy’s emergency lights and siren. He was pursued for about 25 miles, with the pursuit ending at the 91.6 mile marker in Harrison County.

Anderson reached speeds of 105 mph, as well as passing two vehicles on the outside shoulder of I-35 during the chase. As he was being taken into custody, he attempted to retrieve a hatchet from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The attempt was unsuc-

cessful, however, and he was taken into custody without further incident.

An immediate search of his vehicle led to the discovery of methamphetamine. He has been charged with felonies of possession of controlled substance and resisting arrest and misdemeanors of assault fourth degree, speeding, and careless and imprudent driving. He was transported to Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail, and bond was denied.

Former Pattonsburg man sentenced to 32 years for shooting at FBI team Brian K. Marshall, 50, Pattonsburg, was sentenced Aug. 15 in federal court in Tulsa, OK, to 32 years in prison for shooting at an FBI SWAT team in northeast Oklahoma. The officers were attempting to arrest him for threatening Texas police officers. Marshall was wounded in the exchange, but no agents were injured.

Marshall acknowledged June 5 in a signed plea agreement that he had fired at the agents.

At the time of the shooting incident on Oct. 1, 2018, the FBI was executing both an arrest warrant for interstate threats Marshall made to kill police officers and a search warrant for the Delaware County, OK, residence where Marshall was found.

The FBI investigation of Brian Marshall began on Sept. 17, 2018, when the North Las Vegas Police Department saw a YouTube posting with Marshall’s

name in which he threatened to kill police officers in Leon Valley, Texas, a suburb of San Antonio.

Local involvement Daviess County Deputy Robert Mazur was involved in the search for Marshall back in January 2018, when he received an anonymous tip that Marshall was in a 600-unit Arkansas apartment complex. Deputy Mazur worked with the Arkansas State Police in an effort to locate Marshall who had absconded from Daviess County in 2013. At that time law enforcement could not determine in which apartment unit Marshall was staying. Deputy Mazur was also contacted by the FBI as the agency worked to locate Marshall.

In 2008, Marshall was charged in Daviess County with domestic assault and unlawful use of a weapon after he held a 9mm pistol against his mother’s fore-

head. Marshall served four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections on the weapons charge and five months in the Daviess-DeKalb County Regional Jail for domestic assault.

After he was released from prison, Marshall was again charged in Daviess County with four counts of unlawful possession of a firearm in 2013 after the execution of a search warrant at his residence. Firearms and evidence located and seized within the residence included multiple rifles, shotguns and handguns, some loaded and ready to fire. A jury trial was scheduled for Sept.

4, 2014, but Marshall absconded after he posted bond.

According to Missouri Casenet, Marshall was also convicted of unlawful use of drug paraphernalia in April 2006 and possession of marijuana in July 2006 in Daviess County.

OPINION

More on the ambush

Last week’s suggestion to celebrate Samuel P. Cox rather than outlaws Frank & Jesse James evidently hit a chord. Several readers have commented, and I’m left wondering just how many of us recall the details of the ambush of guerrilla Confederate “Bloody Bill” Anderson.

Just to keep things straight, Cox accepted credit for killing Bloody Bill during a Civil War battle even though there is some question about who fired the fatal shot. Jesse James vowed revenge, saying he would shoot Cox on sight. During the bank robbery in Gallatin in 1869, James mistook Capt. John Sheets for Cox while attempting to make good on his boast. And the rest, as they say, is history.

But what happened during the ambush of Bloody Bill Anderson?

Although Samuel P. Cox is widely remembered as “Major Cox” today, Cox held the rank of Lt. Colonel by this time of the Civil War in 1864. He commanded the 33rd Missouri Enrolled Militia (MEM), taking the lead of 150 men at Hamilton, MO. Cox received orders from Gen. James Craig to kill Confederate guerrilla Capt. Wm. “Bloody Bill” Anderson.

On Oct. 24, 1864, this militia camped Off the Editor’s Spike... at Knoxville in response to reports of guerrilla activity at nearby Millville.

They are enjoined with about 150 men of the 51st MEM, commanded by Major John Grimes.

Look in the rain and rides past the guerrilla camp without detection. She then finds for free copies circuCox’s militia encampment in the river lated during the festival bottoms south of Richmond. At first Sept. 20-21 Cox is suspicious. But when local men vouch for Ms. Rowland, noting that her three sons enlisted in the Union army, Cox believes what she reveals about the number of guerrilla fighters gathered and where they are camped.

On Oct. 27 Cox moves his troops into position. Cox instructs his men to count off by fours, so that every fourth man holds the reins of horses while dismounted militia conceal themselves in the timber along the Albany road.

Cox’s plan is to draw Capt. Anderson into a trap where his militia can shoot with effect from three different directions. His plan assumes the guerrillas will flee if they sense they are losing the battle.

He assembles his troops with revolvers to be in pursuit while directing soldiers on the ground to withhold their fire until his command.

Lt. James Baker rides with 10 mounted militia to lure Capt. Anderson into the trap. The plan is to charge into the guerrilla camp and fire a volley, then retreat at a gallop on the Albany Road with Anderson’s guerrillas in pursuit.

The plan works. When Lt. Baker’s cavalry runs through the Union battle line the dismounted horses are startled and many horses scatter into the brush. Only two Union men of the 33rd MEM are on horseback in the fighting that ensues – Cox and a bugler, Adolph Vogel.

As foreseen by Cox, Capt. Anderson and his guerrillas make a break to flee eastward toward Carroll County when they realize they are surrounded by Federal troops. Many of the guerrillas are new recruits who aren’t yet armed and unable to help during the fight. There is little Capt. Anderson can do but organize one group under Capt.

Tax rate hearings for Senior Board, Daviess County

Daviess County Tax Rate Hearing The tax levy hearing for Daviess County was held at 10:20 a.m. Present for the tax levy hearing were Ronetta Burton and Rachel Taylor, county clerk’s office, and commissioners Jim Ruse, David Cox, and Wayne Uthe. No one from the public attended.

Ronetta Burton, county clerk, explained that the maximum voter approved levy for Daviess County is $0.4000 per $100 of assessed valuation. Ronetta explained that significant reductions in the tax levy taken in 2007 and 2008 cannot be recouped in an odd year (2019). The commission discussed ways to increase the levies next year, to help cover the increases in insurance and other rising costs. The maximum next year will be closer to $0.3500. The maximum levy approved by the state for 2019 is $0.1193 per $100 valuation.

David Cox made a motion to approve $0.1193 per $100 valuation; Wayne Uthe seconded, and the motion passed.

County Commission Tax rate hearings for the Senior Services Board and Daviess County were held at the Aug. 14 meeting of the commission.

James Lewis, bridge supervisor, met

with the commission to update them on ongoing work. His crew will be working in Jefferson and Jackson townships this week, weather permitting.

Randy Mendenhall, MoDOT engineer, met with the commission to discuss possible solutions to the erosion on Magill Bridge in Union Township. Mr. Mendenhall will take additional pictures and follow up with the Corps of Engineers. He informed the commission on the upcoming MoDOT projects for the next five years.

Ronetta Burton, county clerk, updated the commission on the Windstream tower locations in Daviess County. Some of the towers are not active, with the rest to go online before the end of the year.

The commission discussed the issue on the Union Township easement. It was decided to postpone until FEMA paperwork is complete.

The commission discussed flag issues. The issue was continued until next week.

The commission discussed the letter from the State that was forwarded to local survey companies. The commission will do more research before proceeding. The issue was continued until next week.

The commission conducted a closed session from 9:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. No decisions were made.

Barry Bothwell and Stan Huffman, land owners in Harrison and Monroe townships, met with the commission to discuss low water crossings near their farms that were being looked at for replacement with a bridge, due to Caldwell County needing to do mitigation for a project they have in their county. Mr. Bothwell and Mr. Huffman both expressed concerns that unless a BRO Bridge is tall enough, it can restrict the flow of water and create more flooding instead of less. The commission discussed with them how mitigation and funding for such projects works.

Ronetta Burton notified the commission that enough elected officials had signed the request for a salary commission for it to be called. The request has been forwarded on to the circuit clerk. The commission decided to schedule the salary commission meeting on Oct. 2 at 10 a.m., pending schedules of the other parties and court schedules. Ronetta advised the commission that an error has been discovered on past salaries/salary commissions, and would need discussion during the salary commission meeting.

David Roll updated the commission that approval of the EMP Grant from the State has been received. He will finalize paperwork for budgeted purchases. David also advised them that Daviess County is approved under one of the disaster declara-

Editor’s note: More courthouse news appears on pages 8-9 in this edition.

Habeas corpus case One eye witness recanted his testimony. Another witness who was 4 years old at the time was found to have identified Kidd under “suggestive” circumstances.

Kidd also provided an alibi which was corroborated by documents from the Jackson County Sheriff ’s Office where he was obtaining a gun permit at the time of the crime, and no physical evidence linked Kidd to the murders.

Kidd was serving life without the possibility of parole and had maintained his claim of inno-

Judge Adkins said that evidence of Kidd’s innocence was “clear and convincing.”

A writ of habeas corpus gives a court the power to release a prisoner after the prisoner has been processed through the criminal justice system with all its procedural safeguards and appeals.

Hendley, another under Clell Miller, and a middle group which he will lead to charge through the Union battle line in hopes of escape.

The Confederates’ charge covers about 600 yards. Anderson takes the lead, his horse about 25 yards ahead of the others until they approach to within about 100 yards of Union soldiers. A volley slows the guerrillas as several riders are shot, but the charge almost immediately resumes.

At the battle line Capt. Anderson is struck in the head by two bullets and falls from his horse.

A guerrilla next to Anderson also falls from his horse, but scrambles into the brush. Anderson’s men realize he is wounded or dead and a frantic effort to retrieve his body fails.

The day following the battle, militia searching for horses which stampeded during the fight located the gray mare ridden by Capt. Anderson. This horse was found on the farm of W.T. Brown west of Richmond; saddlebags were still intact behind the saddle.

Numerous people confirmed the body to be Anderson. A Richmond dentist, Dr. Robert B. Kare, was called to photograph the infamous guerrilla Confederate. The bugler for the 33rd Regiment, Adolph Vogel, assisted in positioning the corpse in a chair for the photo.

At the time of his death, Anderson was wearing a white hat with a single feather plume. He wore a tan topcoat and matching pants. His undershirt was of high quality. His top shirt was nicely embroidered. His left ring finger was severed and the ring removed. A gold watch and a silver watch were in his pockets along with gold amounting to $323. He carried Union currency totaling $273 and Confederate money amounting to $18.

Photos of Anderson and his wife, a short letter from her, and a lock of her hair were in a pocket band. Orders from Gen. Sterling Price and a receipt from Presley Garvis were also on his person.

Capt. Anderson was buried in the corner of the Potter’s Cemetery, five blocks away from the Ray County courthouse. Head and foot boards were erected to mark the spot. Flowers left on the grave were later trampled by militia soldiers on horseback.

NOTE: Albany, the location of the ambush of Bloody Bill Anderson during the Civil War, is not to be confused with Albany, the county seat of Gentry County. Albany in Ray County was an unincorporated community laid out in 1854. It was later called Ada; a post office was established at Ada in 1864 and remained in operation until 1873.

The location of Anderson’s ambush was just northeast of today’s town of Orrick, north of Hwy. 210. The Albany Road leads north from today’s Route T, eventually connecting with Woods Road. This area is southwest of Richmond, the county seat of Ray County.

PSC grants Ameren electric right to construct ‘Outlaw Project’, wind generation facility in Atchison County The Missouri Public Service Commission has granted a certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN) to Ameren Missouri to construct, own and operate an approximate 299 megawatt wind generation facility (known as the Outlaw Project) in Atchison County.

Under an agreement approved by the Commission, the Outlaw Project will be constructed pursuant to a Build Transfer Agreement (BTA) between Ameren Missouri and Enel Kansas,

Watch the road Missouri Department of Transportation’s construction and maintenance season stretches for as long as the weather holds and doesn’t typically die down until sometime in November. So far this year, there have been 113 work zone crashes that have resulted in nine fatalities. All of the fatalities were motorists.

LLC. Enel Kansas, LLC formed a special-purpose entity (Outlaw Wind Project, LLC) to complete the project.

Once the facility is built, Ameren Missouri will purchase 100% of the ownership interest in Outlaw Wind Project, LLC and merge Outlaw Wind Project, LLC into Ameren Missouri.

Also under the agreement, Ameren Missouri will be required to comply with various provisions intended to mitigate the impact of the wind project on the envi-

ronment and Missouri wildlife.

“After reviewing the Stipulation and Agreement, Application, and information presented by the parties, the Commission independently finds and concludes that the Stipulation and Agreement is a reasonable resolution of the issues it addresses and should be approved,” said the Commission.

Ameren Missouri provides electric service to approximately 1.28 million customers in Missouri.

Annual fundraising nets $59,000 for Farmers’ Electric Cooperative AYBF The twenty-seventh annual dinner-auction and golf tournament for the Farmers’ Electric Area Youth Benefit Fund (AYBF) resulted in $41,500 raised this year with an additional $7,500 in matching funds from CoBank’s Sharing Success program and $10,000 more donated from area foundations.

Monies raised included $5,300 from nearly 900 Farmers’ Electric Cooperative members who participate in Operation Round Up each month. The main auction raised $14,200.

The highest bid item of the evening, a sevem-day stay at a Florida Condominium, went for $2,800. Other main auction items that brought top dollar included another week long stay in a Florida condo, a Northern Missouri bird hunting trip for four, and a gun safe.

The three levels of the silent auction raised a combined $8,400.

Chillicothe’s Elks Lodge hosted the Saturday, Aug. 17 dinnerauction that was co-sponsored

by Hedrick Medical Center.

The fundraising continued Monday morning, August 19, at the Green Hills Golf Course.

There were 39 teams of three participating in the golf tournament co-sponsored for the twenty-first consecutive year

by Pepsi-Cola Bottling of Chillicothe. The groups were split into morning and afternoon flights.

“As a charity, the Area Youth Benefit Fund relies on the generosity of our supporters to help us continue our mission. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, auction items or money, helping us help area families

pay for their children’s medical bills,” said AYBF Coordinator Chasity Anderson.

“We are overwhelmed with the fantastic support the community has given the Area Youth Benefit Fund for the twenty-seventh year in a row and offer a sincere thank you to all those that made this year’s events such a great success.”

In 1993, Farmers’ Electric Cooperative established the Area Youth Benefit Fund, a 501(c)3 charity to provide financial assistance toward the payment of medical bills for children 18 years of age and under.

The fund is designed to assist families with children who have been ill or injured in which the parents do not have enough resources or health insurance to cover the medical costs.

The fund operates in the counties of Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Linn, Livingston and Ray. A family that resides in these counties does not have to be a Member of the Cooperative to receive financial assistance.

In the last 27 years, more than $808,000 has been distributed to 788 area families. Anyone wishing to make application for assistance should contact the Farmers’ Electric Cooperative business office at 660-646-4281 and ask for Jennie Tipton.

Gallatin R-5 approves tax rate; 13-cent increase since 2017 The Gallatin R-5 Board of Education held a tax rate hearing on Aug. 15. The tax rate was proposed at $4.3122 for the incidental fund and $0.1725 for capital projects. The total tax rate of $4.4847 per $100 was approved by the board.

The approved tax rate of $4.4847 represents an increase of $0.0818 from last year’s tax rate of $4.4029. The increase was in the incidental fund (2018: $4.2304). The capital projects fund remained the same as 2018.

The tax rate of $4.4847 represents an increase of $0.1279 from the 2017 rate of $4.3568 — the levy ceiling after voters approved a 90-cent tax levy increase during the April 4, 2017, election, called Proposition 2.

“The overall assessed valuation decreased,” according to Superintendent Bryan Copple, “which in turn causes an increase in the tax rate.”

Also approved by the board were bus routes; the substitute list; school handbooks with

changes; and the Special Education Compliance Plan Part B. The summer maintenance report was heard.

The board entered closed session to discuss personnel.

The resignation of art teacher Tammy Kliewer was accepted. The high school art teacher position was offered to Ally Ockenfels.

THIS INCIDENT SUMMARY DOES NOT INCLUDE ROUTINE PATROL ACTIVITIES

www.daviesscountysheriff.com

Jamesport man jailed for illegally possessing firearms Lester Bryan, 61, of Jamesport was charged Aug. 14 with two counts of unlawful possession of firearm. According to the probable cause statement, Bryan carried two rifles into a Jamesport business and sold them to the business owner on Aug. 13.

Officers made contact with Bryan near the Jamesport City Park. Bryan stated that he sold the rifles because he could not have them due to the fact that he was a convicted felon. He said he was going to use the money to get his van back. The officers retrieved the rifles and obtained a written statement from the business owner.

Bryan was arrested and transported to Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail. Bond was set at $5,000 or 10%.
