"Oberly the Poet"
From the State Register. l


Our friend, John II. O5erly, Of Cairo,
Is well known In many characters and
professions, all OF which he illustrates or
hosors; but 1t 10 not until very recently,
as We believe. that hs has appeared as q
poet In which capacity We now intro,
duce him to the readers of the Registsr.
The note addressed 10 J. Ward Ellis,
past grand master |. o. o. F, Of Illinois,
abundantly explains the occasion Of the
lines.
CAIRO, ILL.,. Feb. 12.-DEAR ELLIS: 80
the Senator Porter who died In Califc rDia.
was Nathan Porter, the Odd Fellow. /
hoped for number Of days after you told
me you were fearful that our friend was
dead that you were mistaken. But that
longer be doubt OF the death Of brother
Porter. While / was reading, last Sunday
night, notice OF the life Of the deceased,
the rhyming impulse came upon me, and
the result was the little poem incloss
with this. 1t 10 very Indifferent, AMI sure;
but you were friend OF the man the
verses lament, aud you will therefore par
don me for requiring you 10 read them.
JoHS II. OBERLY.

Porter Is that OF esteem, love and veneer.

A wearer Of the triple link
OF Friendship, Love and Trnth'--
His heart was pure as crystal spring
In manhood 90 In youth.
No siren song sllured him e'sr
From virtues path to stray;
His thought and speech and action were
As open rs the day.
Cheerful, with voice that gave good CHAR
In sunshine and In cloud,
He walked the path Of life with step
Ashonest - 'twssproud.
The cry OF Want VISITED in his ear
And opened his kind hand.
For softer heart or Rentler soul
Dwelt not In all the land.
And eyer whore the troubled lived,
where Sorrow shed her tesTs,
His voice, penediction, there
Gave peace aud banishsd fears.
He did 80 others AZ he would

| mr' H. ' ChcWninB, travelling saIess
man for the well>known firm of Burns
n Degnan, dealers In saddlery, 900
North Main street, st. Louis, called at
the BULLETIN office yesterday and gave
US the particulars of a difficulty which
occurred at Maiden, Missouri, a small
town In New Madrid county, and about
twenty miles from the town Of New
Madrid, on Saturday last, Ia which
TnREE MEN WERE KILLED.
Mr.. Chewing was In Maiden on that
day and was an eyewitness to a part Of
the terrible affair. The quarrel was be-
tween young man twenty-five years
old, named Jas. Nunlee, on the one side,
and Frank and William Miller and Sam
Harris and Robert Robinson on the other,
and In the row young Nunlee and the
two Millers were killed. From citizens
Of the town Mr.. Chewing learned that
PEUD OF YEARS STANDING
existed between Nunlee and the Millers
and the other parties named, but It was
not generally believed that 1t would
terminate so terribly. The parties were
a tough crowd generally and terror to
the community.
on SATURDAY MORNING,
the Millers, accompanied by Harris and
Robinson. came into town and as usual
with them they commenced to I'LL up on
bad whisky. Once partially drunk,
Frank and william Miller started out 70
hunt Nunlee. declaring their purpose to
whip him. They found Nunlee in q
saloon, and at once
COMMENCED A QUARREL
with him. Finding escape impossible
Nunlee drew revolver and shot Frank
Miller in the breast, innicting wound
which caused his death one hour later.
Nunlee then lett the saloon and went to
store near by where he got doubles
barreled shotgun. AS Nunlee was com.
ing out OF the store William Miller, who
had followed him from the saloon, was
! just coming up, when Nunlee raised the
gun and fired the entire contents OF one
barrel
INTO MlLLERs HEAD
killing him instantly. Harris and Rob-
inson then came up, when the former
tired upon Nanlee, wounding him in the
head. Sunlee finding himself MORALLY
wounded, ran into millinery store near
by, followed by Harris and Robinson.
Nunlee passed through the store and fell
to the floor in back room, when Harris
and Robinson, who hal followed him into
the house,
STOOD OVER HIN
and emptied the contents OF their reyolv-
ers into his PROSTATE body, killing him
on the spot. Not content with this the
more than devils knelt over their dead
victim and with the but Of their reyoly,
ers beat his head to jelly, and then left
the house, mounted their horses and
made their escape; and although closely
followed, had not up to the time Mr..
Chewing lett Maiden. been captured.
Dir. Cbevning says this terrible affair Is
deplored by the better class Of citizens OF
Maiden, who are q law-abiding and
Christian community. All the men en-.
gagged in the desperate struggle were re-
garded as rufiians and desperadoes, and
The cause of the quarrel feud OF long
standing among them.
