MURDER INJEFFERsON TOWNSHIP.
Henry Butcher shot by Frank Burt-

On Saturday night last, a party of
young men from Carr's Mills, went down
to the residence of Tim. Burns, bach
elOr, who lives near Urban Hidy's farm,
in jefferson township, on invitation of
Burns, to have a chicken roast and "stag
dance" The Carr's Mills party was COM
posed of Frank Barton, Cap. Loyelace,
Henry Butcher, John and Thos. Paul and
three sons of Henry Baughn. They took
with them music, and chickens ,icrackers,
otc.. for the supper. Burns went out and
caught some of his chickens to cook with
the others. While preparations for sup
per were going on, two men employed as
farm hands in the neighborhood. named
c. Cole and Frank Burtman alias ''Texas
Jack, - ''Rocky Mountain Bill, = etc, came
to the house, with revolvers in their
hands, and demanded to know what was
going on. They said there had been a
| good deal of chicken stealing going on in
that neigh hborhood lately ,and they wanted
/ to know where this party got their chick
/ ems Burns informed them that the party
were there on his invitation, that they
| hadn't been stealing any chickens, and
! that he would like to have them go away
and not disturb them. Henry Butcher,
/ one of the Carr's Mills party, went up to
| Frank Burtman, and told him that they
were not disturbing anybody, were just
| having a good time, and wanted himself
and Gale to go away and let them alone,
whereupon Burtman raised his revolver
and fired, the ball entering Butcher S
| stomach, passing through and lodging in
| his back. Burtman threatened to shoot
anybody else who touched him, and was
allowed to leave the house. A physician
was procured, and the ball extracted from
Butchers back. At the time of writing
he is still alive, but cannot possibly live
much longer, as the wound is necessarily
fatal. A warrant was sworn out for Burt
mans arrest Saturday night, and a consta-
BILE went to the residence of Mr.. Urban
Hidy, for whom he had been working,
and found that Burton had been there,
but was gone, and he has not yet been
captured.
The above are the particulars as stated
by parties who witnessed the shooting.

Pany of Cincinnati,
This is a strong and prosperous Ohio

81 SOC, ,000.00. Its interest receipts ex-
ceed its death losses. Its ratio of ex-
penses is very low for a company of its

for period often years is lower than any
other strictly life company. It's regular
policies provide for definite surrender
value in paid up insurance in the case the
policy is forfeited after three years from
its date, or, if the applicant desires it, the
policy will provide that the same shall
remain in full force, a1itbOut surrender,
for such a length of time that its full
value will equal the premiums thereon,
upon plan somewhat similar to what is
known as the Massachusetts NOnfOrfei-
| ture Law. No restrictions on travel in
temperate zones. The Life Rate EndOw-
ment and Annuity Bond, issued by the
| Union Central, in addition to the above
named advantages / provides for the pay
ment thereof in full at death, or at its
maturity during the life of the assured
OF, if he does not elect to draw the same

1t Happened at our House This Time


Aregularly set-up job was played at the
senior editors house ON Thursday last.
The design was on the madam of the
house, and was so skillfully carried out by
our neighbors that Mrs. Millikan did not
understand its meaning until all at once it
! occurred to her that it was her fffty-fifth
birthday. The party took complete con-
troll of our house and had things all their
own way, and we can assure them thai
none of them enjoyed the occasion more
than did Mrs. NJ. and the rest of oul
family. They spread the table in the
dining-room, and literally filled it with
the best viands of the season, which were
partaken of by the whole company will
a zest. 1t was a good practical joke tha
our esteemed friends played off on thu
mistress of our home.
