Since Life Insurance makes ii possible
for every man to protect his family from
want and suffering by at least a moderate
insurance on his life, there is no reason
why every head of a family, and especially
the laboring classes, should not in that way
guard against poverty. A life insurance
policy is always valuable and brings mon
ey to the family achen IL Is most needed. 1t
is always cash and can be made to bring
food and comforts to a needy family for
years. Some time ago we recorded the
death of Mr.. l.. Schweckerd of this city
leaving n wife and children. The follows
ing receipt shows how by little foresight
he left them a snug sum of money to pro-
vide for their future wants:

ANOTHER MURDER IN BAXTER
Deputy Marshal Van Epps Shoots and
Kills a Policeman.

FROM the Kansas City Journal
Informatiop reaches rs of another murder
a, Baxter, which in cod bloodedness fully
EQUALS that Of the Boyd murder. II ap
pears that Tuesday evening Marshal How
ard ard his Deputy, Van Epps, were walk
ing along the stree. with a mail-carrier,
with whom they entered the Office OF the
Virgins House, where they found William
Westcou, a private or merchants police
man. As they entered the mail-carrier said
something that WIS offensive TO Westcotf,
which resulted in difficulty between them.
This, however, was amicably adjusted.
Again, about midnight, the Marshal and
Deputy Marshal clme in contact with West.
colt in saloon, and quarrel was the re.
suit, terminating in Westcott drawing re-
yolver and backing them down. Not long
after this the Marshal and Deputy sgain sp
peared at the Virgins House Office,
having doubie-barrele3 shotgun.
This they set down in one corner and deiio-
erately proceeded 10 warm themselves. AtteI
having gained a comfortable degree Of
warmth they took up the shotgun and wen
out. After few inmates shot was heard
and inside of five minutes from the tint
they left the fire they were again warming
by ii az composedly as though nothing hat
taken place. The mail carrier, who wa
sill sitting by the fire asked them what tha
shot meapt. The Deputy Marshal replies
that he guessed Westco,t had been shot; they
had seen him fall out there in the street
The Marshall, Howard, Immediately addet
he would teach men that when he command
them TO halt they must obey.
A party went into the street soon after
wards and, after some time searching, found
Wes.cott dead. The shot from the shot gun
had entered the back of his head and neck.
The saloon keeper, where the quarrel be-
tween Westcott and Van Epps took place,
saws that after the shot Wes'co;t came TO his
saloon and asked for revolver, saying thai
Van Epps had shot him. The saloon Keep
er loaned him his revolver, and this he had
in his hand when found, his own revolver
being gone.
Both Van Epps and Howard have been
arrested and are nov IN Jail. Parties up
from there Yesterday say that there Is serious
talk of lynching them, because the people
feel, since the trial and acqui;tal OF Boyd,
that they have no law against murder and
must resort TO some measure tor sell pro
lection.
