The night that Miss Walters started,
via the c., B. & O., from this city for
Alabama. several friends went to the de-
pot with her. and the parting with her
father was an affectionate one. Since
then not a word has been received from
her. and now the sad duty devolves upon
us OF announcing the violent death of her
father. That he was naturally a man of
considerable ability is undonbted, and if
he had devoted his talents to an honorable
calling he would assuredly have won
prominence. But the grave has closed
over him and in the presence of death we
would fain believe that if his life had been
spared he would have done differently.

LAND LEAGuE MEETING.

Ever since the infamous Kilmainham
treaty and the apparent backdown of
many of the Irish leaders. the American
local branches Of the Irish National
League have been in decidedly apathetic
condition. The recent events in the
AngloIrish world, including the at
tempted extradition of Sheridan, have
once more aroused our friends of the
Emerald Isle into active sympathy for the
friends across the water who are still
struggling for the independence of their
loved gem of the sea. and again the in
spring cry of Erin go bragh" is heard
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. a
Irish National League. was held in Norris
Hall, President Thomas F. Cary in the
chair and Mr.. John Mulqueen acting as
secretary. The meeting was an informal
one for general interchange of views re
specting the situation abroad. Hereto
fore the League has sent money abroad 10
the parent organization but it will retain
a large part of the remainder of its funds
until definite programme for the future
shall have been decided upon.
1t is expected that in the near future
Messrs. Sheridan, Egan and others will
visit this part of the west and if they
do so they may be sure of gratifying re-
ception.
After an unusually pleasant Inter
change of thought the meeting adjourned
till the first Sabbath afternoon in April
next.

Shortly before Miss Walters left here
for Mobile Alabama, she told at least two
of her friends that her father had been in
an Iowa prison for cattle stealing; but
owing to the existence of bitter enmity at
times between the two the statement was
not wholly credited. A night or Two before
her departure IA young professional man
of Moline took her out riding, and her
father assured representative of the
ARGUS that the young man had sought to
bctray his daughter. He said: Il was
behind a tree when they returned from
the ride.an heard the conversation be-
tween them, and if I'd had my pistol Id
have put b ball through him. Subse-
queut events, however, showed that
neither the young gentleman nor Miss
Walters had been guilty of any indiscre
ton, but the former had narrow escape
from instant death at the hands of an en-
ragged father, who evidently labored under
misrepresentation

THE ONO REQUIsITToN

Sheriff Corvin, of Preble county, claim
ed Walters Wednesday as his prisoner.
He had requisition for him, and the city
authorities surrendered him to his custody.
He had been growing stronger all day,
and the attending physicians said
that he was we'll enough 10 be
him in baggage car and taken to Eaton,
but after thinking about it all night, the
sheriff concluded that he did not want to
take the responsibility of moving him in
his present condition, and arranged with
Sheriff German to have him sent to hotel
and kept until he can sit up. Mr. Corvin
avs that the charge on which he is ar
rested is stealing eleven head of cattle
from his father and another party in 1872,
and he thinks that he will be sent up for
long term. as he has very bad record.
| The sheriff first saw him at Greenville
twenty years ago. He was driving a
| fast horse in a race and jumped down
/ from his sulky and kicked a man who
4 was laughing at him. The blow broke
tue fellow jaw, and Walters
mounted horse that he saw hitched
to a rack and ran it to Eaton. He came
to Richmond to attend the races that year
and brought fast horse. bulldog, jug of
apple jack, and a fast woman with him.
Many stories are afioat about his mean
! ness. Once, when he wanted to go to a
i show and his father would not give HIM
the money to buy tickets, he went to the
pasture and killeu calf and sold the Skin
