StarkviIle Times.

StarkviIle Times.
News has come to us of the most shocking
death of lady in the northern portion of
this county. She had been married but a
short time, her name being Mrs. Ellison. 1t
seems that last week, one morning, she and
her husband were at their home together.
and alone. He, leaving her, went off to his
farm near by, and upon returning in about
half an hour, found her in a newly dug well
dead. The news was soon conveyed to near
neighbors, and she was taken from the well
and buried, the impression being that she
had suddenly and m lost horribly closed her
life by falling in the well. A few days la
ter, we hear, strong suspicion of foul play
in some way, took hold on the ladies, rela-
tives, and there was talk of exhuming the
body and having post norton examina-
ton with a view of detecting poison. We
have heard various rumors i'm plicating her
husband, but they are full of mystery and
doubt, and we do not feel justified in pub
fishing them.
