SABETHA SENSATION
An Old Mans Darling o fee
Fun-Pistols, Arrest, Esc,r sn1
Big Excitement.
What. the matter viii, the Kansas peO-
pie, ANYHOW? Their red lex-" are getting
terribly mixed up. From the Hiawatba
DispatcA we learn that very recently an old
man VI Sabetha, named James Miller, :ged
- years, married a girl Of y sumc,srs.
The contract of the marriage, in financial
view, were that said Miller was to deed to
the said Miss half block of Sabetha real
estate, valued At $1,000, al Of which and
the marriage rites we're performed. That
far all Was lovely, but the g,rl refused to
be the old mans darling in that way that
becometh wife. Well, she wouldn't roost
with the old man-real estate or no real
estate. So he sued her for violation Of the
contract and for the property. On Mon
day night Mr.. Webb, the old mans law
var, went up from Troy, and all the parties
met for the purpose of somehow fixing tho
thing up, in the course Of which Miller
charged Mr.. Cook, Of Sabetha, the girl's
lawyer, with being the cause Of the whole
trouble. Cook denied it. and Miller called
Cook "a id scoundrel." Whereupon,
Cook jumped mp and pulled out revolver.
Mr.. Webb caught him and held him. Mil
Ter took advantage Of the opportunity, and
pitched on to Cook. A scufle ensued the
two fell, Cook under, Miller on top.
About this time Cock had 20 twisted
his hand around that the re-
volver which he held pointed to the
old mans head, when Mr.. Webb srasPed
and pushed his hand down 80 that the load
Of the revolver entered the floor, instead Of
Miller's head. Cook was arrested for o.
sault With intent to kill, but subsequently,
escaped. The girl has also "Aown." The
feeling against Cook is se"eral, and intense
excitement prevails at Ssbe'ha. The old
man thinks Cook vas Julia Elizabeth Rays
darling. and the res. Of the Sab<'ha folks
sympathi.e wi,h the old man.
II il said that Cook and Mrs. Miller came
to ST. Joseph, putting up at one OF our
leading hotels as man and vile. and went
from here east on the Hannibal 4 81. Jo-
seph railroad, but what their destination
Was has not been learned.
Cook was greatly in debt in Sabetha. and
az soon a. his escape was known his anxious
creditors had all his property attached. 1t
is suspected that some Of Cook. intimate
friends helped him away; and that their
anxiety to see him and M.. Miller out Of
the country il to hide their own Grimm
connectio., With the INSCRIPTIONS compile.
| Mp. Miller's career in Sabetha has been
Of y meet d,agraeefnl character; and should
Cook be re arrested, AMI the Miller case
come to trial, there will BE- great c"mmo-
ton, and many innocent hearts 'made to
bleed"
Mr.. Cook ia m eatimable lady, and il ia
feared her husband. late mad career wi!i
tell terribly upon her mind she has f"ur
little buys left her to care ior, with nothing
