"At the village of Crete, twenty miles west
of here, Mrs. John Lee died recently under
peculiar circumstances A post mortem eI-
animation revealed the presence of poison
in her stomach. Suspicion attaches to her
husband. Some time ago young girl was
taken into the Lee family, and it is said that
Lee became too familiar with her. This
occasioned a quarrel, and the husband and
wife separated but afterward lived together
again and the girl was taken to Lincoln,
where Lee passed her off az his wife. Mrs.
Lee, before her death, said she had found
poison in her food not long since. She died
suddenly. A coroner's jury is now holding
an inquest The stomach was sent to
Chicago for analysis
The foregoing is special to the ChicdgO
Times from Lincoln, Neb. We hope IT is
not true. John was raised in this township,
and is brother of Wilson and Uriel Lee.
His wife was Mary, daughter of Riley
Woodman, brother OF David 2nd. John
and Riley went west together some Is years
since. Riley settled in Brown county, Kan. >,
where he died a few years ago. John struck
it rich by taking up the land where the vii
lage of Crete now stands. He is reported
worth $4,000. When he went away from
here, he was not worth - cents.
