da Ferry, wife of Sylvester Ferry, living
about one mile from Hydepark, La
noble county, was picking raspberries

screams search was made, and she was
found bound, gagged and strangled to
insensibility with strings tied around her
neck, her mouth being filled with small
stones, and these tied in with her apron
strings. Great numbers are searching
the woods in the vicinity under direction

abeth, daughter of Leeds Billings, a
handsome, proud and spirited lady, and
when she heard through friend of the

ly for New York. Going to the hotel
she sent her card up, and number two
received her in the parlor Number one
inquired of number two if she was Mrs.

toon, and received an affirmative reply.
Number one then said she was also Mrs.
Huntoon, and the mother of four chill
dren. Mrs. Huntoon number two COM
