His Wife Arrives IN the City
Last Night in Search of Him.

A woman arrived in this city yesterday
evening on the Lexington Branch train.

spectively eight and four years Of age. The
woman arrived here in destitute circum-
stances. She said her name was Griffin.
and previous to her husband leaving home
in search Of work, they had been living in
the town Of Wallace, ON the Atchison Branch
road. When her husband left home he
went to Lexington, and got work there, he
telegraphed for her to pack up her things
and come where he was. She Immediately
packed up all Of her things, and after che
had got them all ready to leave, she receiv-
ed another telegram from her husband. tel
ling her not to come for a day or two.
Having got her household goods all packed
and ready to leave, she paid no attention
to the last telegram, however, and got on
a train and went to Lexington. When she
arrived she found that her husband had
left and come to Sedalia, and she got ON
the Branch train and came to this city.
She says she thinks he is here, and hopes to
find him at work. II she don't find him
here, she intends to 50 to Joplin, to look
for him.
Officer Turner gave her place to sleep
last night, and this morning Mr.. Marker
gave her some breakfast. The children
are both very nice little girls, and are too
young to realize their position. She is an
honest hard working woman, and it is to
be hoped that she will succeed in finding
her husband.

Last night in the sleeper Of the Missouri
heavily ironei. The prisoner was John
Owens, a noted desperate. Of Grayson coun-
", kentucky--the other was Detective
William Blythe, oi Louisville. Owens had
been captured by the officer in a mining
camp near Pueblo. Colorado. and was being
taken back to Kentucky 10 be put on trial
for the murder Of the Williams family two
years ago. The circumstances Of
THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,
"a Il representative Of the BAZoo learned
them in Il hastv interview with the detec-
tive, were as follows:
Andrew Williams, his daughter Amelia,
girl Of eighteen and his son James sixteen
wears Of age, I've! near Litchfeld, in Gray
son county, and were respectable and in
Auentisl people. Young Owens was a suitor
Of Miss Williams and had been rejected.
lie was Of
srLLEN AND MORo>E
disposition, and resented the slight put up
on his affections with ali the bitterness Of
his nature and declared that ii he couldn't
have the girl no one else should. The re-
port that she was shortly 10 be married ex-
cited him to frenzy, and armed with re-
volver, he went to the Williams homestead
on the night Of the Goth Of April, 1879. and
inquired for Miss Williams. The family
were seated at supper and he was directed to
the dining room. Reaching the door OF the
apartment he halted, and directing his in
qniry to Miss Williams, demanded II it was
true that she was about to marry. There
NAV have been something in the mans voice
or action that frightened her. But at the
sound OF his voice she rose hastily from the
table and attempted to leave the room. As
she did so the tiend fired, shooting her
through the heart and
KILLING HER INSTANTLY.
The father and son sprang towards him. and
on them the tiger turned his pistol, firing
rapidly until the revolver was empty. The
father fell mortally wounded and expired
that night. The boy fingered for week
and then died. Owens then turned leisure
" on his heels and left the house-then fed
the country. Large rewards were offered
for his apprehension, but
NO CLUE WAS FOUND
to his whereabouts, until a month ago, the
police at Louisville received information
that sister of Owens was corresponding
with John O. Martin, in Colorado, which
was believed to be the fictitious name Of her
brother John. On this information detec-
tive Blythe was dispatched to Colorado.
The suspicion proved correct, and John
Owens was captured. He il young man
about twenty-five years Of age, heavy
featured, with black beetling brow and
repulsive cast OF countenance. He admits his
crime, and saws he would act the same way
ii it was to do over again. These are all
the particulars, which, in a brief interview,
the reporter was able to leran but they in
dictate that John Owens stands an admira-
bic chance OF expiating his terrible crime
upon the gallows.

AN OLD MANS DARLING.

ago married . young wife. She was very

and she succeeded very soon in becoming the

She Was indeed the
OLD MANS DARLING,
and he lsvished upon her all the affections
which old age and the rude bufIetines OF the
world left him To lavish. But oil late his
wiie had discovered an extraordinary fond
ness for picking b!ackberres. She makes
regular business out Of il and goes every day.
Strange to saw she rarely has good luck and
the amount Of blackberries abe has picked
would not make good sized pie or a tun'-
bier Of jam. After she had been gone few
hours Saturday, the old man concluded he
would Join her, and Assist in filling her
basket. IL troubled him to think his glee-
some black eyed rose should have
such BAD LUCK.
After searching for her over brake and
bramble for an hour or two, he found her.
Tut she wasn't picking blackberries. She
was sitting down in dense growth Of I'M
,ierbrush, where the blue grass Was soft and
luxurisnt and the green leaves were stirred
by summer breezes; and close beside her
sat . young man, the son Of neighbor.
lie wasn't picking blackberries either. 1t
is true the couple might have gone their to
rest. 1t was cool and nice. and was just the
spot where the tired body might be thrown
with q sense of ineisble relief. But
somehow the old man didn't like it, and he
came upon them with shout that would
have made pale the grandeur Of an Indian
war whooP. The young man cast one hur-
ried glance at that
GRAY HAIRkD APPARITION,
and then he vani-hed-dus,ed- up, as
i, we're, and Int. No race horse could equal
his speed. The dun deer Of the forest and
prairie would have been put tn shame in his
flight. But the lady stood her ground. 1t
was useless to run, and besides beauty is al
ways bold. II may have been that she had
no place to run to, except to her home, and
that would only have postponed the inter-
view, and besides. why should she run ,
She was only resting under the shade Of the
trees, and enjoying the perfume Of
FOREST DOORS.
The old man rxved and stormsd, but it did
no good, and n he watched the flush OF
pearly cheeks and eyes swimming in tears
his heart relented. Reproaches finally
melted into tenderness, and forgiveness hal.
lowed reconciliation. That is all there is
in it. But there has been no more black
berrying. II has beea given up a. . use-
lees waste Of labor. The Young man who
happened along that way accidentally is
perhaps, still running. At all events moth
ing has been heard OF HIM since.
