An Unpleasant Wedding.

A young man who has very recently open
ed a business house in West Kansas City,
wooed and won the affection of the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Chapman Haight, who resides
near the city limits on the Independence
road. The parents of the young girl Bit
terly opposed the marriage Of the young
couple, because of the alleged dissipated
habits of the young man. But opposition
only added fuel to the flame, and confirmed
the daughter in her determination to cling
to her lover through thick and thin. On
Monday last, during Mr.. Haight's absence
at Independence, the West Kansas mer-
chant proceeded with a buggy to the resi-
dence of his affianced to take her TO Wyan-
dotte to be married.
Miss Haight was ready and willing to go
with him, but the mother set her foot firmly
down, vowing that he should not take the
girl from the house, at the same time pro-
ducing stout hickory stick, saying that if
he attempted to carry off her daughter she
would use the stick. Treating these as the
idle threats of a woman, the lovers con-
tinued their preparations for departure; all
things being ready they proceeded to the
buggy, the young lady was handed in and
the brave young gallant was about to
follow, when down came the rod in the
hand of the indignant mother, down, down
came the blows, thick and fast they fell
upon the head, hands and face; the young
man dropped the lines in his endeavors to
save his face from the blows.
The horse becoming frightened, started
towards Kansas City, carrying away the
terrified young lady. Fortunately the horse
was stopped before doing any damage, and
the young lady, with rare courage and pres
ence of mind, turned round and went back
for her discomfitted lover, and after picking
him up both proceeded on their way re-
,joicing.
Next day Mrs. Haight was in the city
seeking further revenge by the prosecution
of the young man for assault and larceny.
She states that the young man assaulted
her, took away her stick, pair of specta-
cles and a revolver She was advised to go
home and allow the young couple to go
their chosen way in life. The parents were
seen later in the day driving up tc their
son-in-laws store, so it is presumablc that
reconciliation has been or will be effected.

Is he Murdered Z?

About year ago it was reported that
John Simpson, of Lancaster, had been
murdered at secluded spot near Ham
burg, Berks county. Subsequent develop
ments indicated that instead of Simpson
having been killed he had left his coat and
other articles where he was said to have
been put to death to leave the impression
that he had been murdered and his body
thrown into the canal. Within the past
month the Reading authorities. have re-
ceived letter from the south that a
man lynched there for the commission of
crime had confessed that he was the
murderer of Simpson. This story soon
after was exploded, and following close on
its heels Berks county boatman stated
that he could point to the identical spot
where Simpson was killed and where his
remains were inferred. He was arrested
and requested to give such information as
he possessed, but in the course of investiga-
ton it was ascertained that the boatman
had been indulging in bmcombe. The
following, from the Lancaster IatelIigencer,
will probably do something toward unrav-
cling the Simpson mystery: A reliable
gentleman residing in this city assures us
that on Wednesday preceding the "local
option election in February last, he met
John Simpson at the Buck hotel, in Har-
risburg, took a drink with him and had
considerable conversation with him. Our
friend rallied Simpson about his supposed
murder, saying in effect that he was a very
healthy looking corpse, to which the ghost
Of Simpson replied deprecatingly: "Oh I!
don't say anything about that-lets take
drink" Our friend drank with him and
then requested him to so with him to
another hotel, kept at that time by Samuel
G. Taylor, an old resident of this city, but
Simpson declined to go there for fear he
would meet somebody from Lancaster who
might know him. These facts we have
received from a source perfectly reliable,
and they seem to us to be sufficient to ex-
plode the oft repeated story of simpsons
murder

1t is remarkable fact that adroit criminals,
detection, fail to observe some OF the simplest
precautionary rules, and fall under the ban OF
suspicion on account of such neglect. The al

TO Lancaster, was remarkably successful for a
comparatively long period In eluding pursuit,
ed himself that he might have Travelled any
where with safety IL he had not continued TO
wear upon his little finger a cameo ring. Tbs
story, as told by one of the New York journals,
is as follows: "Horton had been carefully de-
scribed in circulars and advertisements as a man

corpulent; sallow-complexioned, black-eved.

the ring, and having received one OF tie printed
