Strange things happen in this world,
as will be admitted after reading the fol-
lowing facts On last Tuesday, the day af-
ter Walker killed Taylor, little John Dun
ming, son of DR.. Dunning, Of this city, went
to Oentralia in company with his grand
mother. On tho day after his arrival in
Cen.ralia, Johnny, in company with sew
eral other little fellows, were out playing,
and wandered some two and half miles
away from town into the woods. While
rolicking about the woods Johnny saw
man asleep under q tree, and on going close
UP to him saw that it was no other than
Charles Walker, the negro who haa but
two days before killed another negro in
this city. Little John, with much more
consideration than many persons much
older than he would have had,
started for Centralia and on
on arriving there informed the city mar
shall Of the facts in the case The marshal
immediately Summoned posse, snd,under
the direction Of little John, went to where
Walker was sleeping and arrested him.
He was taken back to Centralia and q tel
egram sent to sheriff Irwin informing him
of Walkers capture. The sheriff took the
2:45 p. m. train the same day, went to
Centralia, got the prisoner and returned to
Cairo on the $50 a. m. train yesterday,
whore Walker was lodged in jail. ytfv
Mr.. VIM. Pitcher yesterday went to
the place where the remains of Thomas
Kennedy were found. He identifies al
most every article found about the dead
body as the property Of young Kennedy.
thus clearing away every doubt as to the
fate Of the unfortunate young man. The
bones were gathered up and placed in a
box and brought to town, where they will
| be inferred until It Is ascertained what dis
position his parents wish to make of them.
The bottle found near where the dead body
was discovered is said to contain strych-
| nine, thus making it almost acertainty that
Kennedy died by his own hands. The
bottle containing the strychnine was found
concealed under q log whore, after taking
out enough Of the deadly poison to answer
his purpose he had hid it. The place
where the body was found is about two
hundred yards from the road, At the end
of the avenue, in thick dark, gloomy
spot. The man evidently desired to de
strcy himself in a place where his body
would not be soon discovered, or he would
aot have gone SO far from the city and into
this dismal locality. Mr.. Pitcher will i'm
mediately write to the parents Of the dead
man, and break the news of the sat
fate of their son to them in as gentle
! manner Il. possible.
He Will also communicate the facts @
.. the case to the firm of Cassidy & Go
Cleveland, in whose employ young Ker
nedy was at the time Of his arrival in tn
