the opening of spring. The locality is an
Indian reservation Grant has forbidden
people to 60 there. Army officers have
repeated the order, but it will make no
difference, the people will rush on and

few will make money, and the great ma

At photographic rule.
But me that better way still lead
Till perfectly spell;

A Mistress, Wife, and Deserted.

Our readers remember the account of a
tragic murder in Peoria last year, man
named Joseph Moll, belonging to some
low theatrical troupe killed man he
found in bed with his girl, who called her.
self Gussie Robinson. MOll was taken to
iail and indicted for murder. Gussie
claimed to be his wife in fact, though not
in law. She went to the Jail and called a
magistrate and they were married. She
stuck to him, and on the pretense that he
was defending his honor and his wife, etc:
Mr.. O'Brien got Moll acquitted. And
now it is pretty evident that the marriage
was only trick to aid in saving his neck
from the halter, as will be seen by the
following, from the Peoria Democrat:
Joseph Moll left for Pittsburgh, his ma
tive city, on Monday evening. A purse to
cover the expenses of his journey was made

derstand that he left his wife here, although
he had frequently said he intended to have
her live with him hereafter. We are tired
of hearing Moll extolled as martyr, and
we are not at all sorry he has left the city
we hope never TO return,
Gussie Moll, who was left here by her
husband and his mother to shift for her
self,is said to be grand daughter of Muir
ry Mcdonnell, who was murdered at Jack
sonvilIe few years ago, with the details
of which our readers are still familiar.
Mrs. Moll, ST., promised her son home al

and disorderly in Darts Hall last evening

This morning he was fined 50 and costs,

Charles Buncher was taken to Jail last
night about 10 o'clock by Policeman Ohrt,
on charge of aggravated assault upon
Richard Lloyd, in the Lafayette saloon.
A reporter for THE ARGUS called at the |
saloon this morning to see Mr.. Lloyd and |
learn his story. He found him on bed
and in very bad, perhaps dangerous con-
dition. His face is shockingly bruised and
swollen, the right eye in bad condition
and he complains of severe pains
in his back and side. He says
he had been at the saloon nearly all
day, and that about dark Charley Buncher
and another man, stranger to him, came
in. He was friendly to Charlie and always
had been, and felt desire that he should
cease his drinking habits. He kindly ad-
vised him to quit drinking and try to regain
his lost position, etc., etc., speaking of his
duty to his family in that respect. Charlie
seemed to take his advice kindly. All par,
ties were then sitting in the saloon, and
nothing was said that need to create even
. hard feelings between triends,-when sud

cents above Chicago rates, was brought
before the convention of freight agents in
