A LOVERS REVENGE.
Dukes, the Affianced Lover of
Fora Burns Avenges
Her Death.
He Follows Her Slayer, Car
penter, to Dakota, and
Kills Him.
The Deed Rsoews the Excitement
Caused by the Terrible
Tragedy.

The readers of the BAzoo VII remember
| the intense excitement created by the cold
| blooded murder of Fora Burns a. Lincoln
| Illinois, last spring and the subsequent trial
and acgUittal of Orrin c. Carpenter as the
perpetratOr of the foul deed. In addition
to the sensation produced throughout tie
country by the aft ,ir, the matter created a
marked local interest In this section from
The fact that Carpenter had previously re-
sided IN Benton county and still has con.
neclions there. Owing to he bad odor
credited at Lincoln toward him by the
genera! belief in his guilt regardless of the
verdict of the jury, Carpenter
was compelled to leave Illinois
and went from there to Dskots. A report
now comes from there that Dukes who will
be remembered as the afianced of the muir
Carpenter at Blunt City, ID. T., and is now
held at that place to answer for the crime.
When this news reached Lincoln, ILL.,, it
renewed the interest and excitement in the
case and so strong is public. sentiment that
money is being raised and witnesses have
volunteered to go to Dakota in order to
clear Dukes. But as yet no particulars be-
yond mere mention of the killing have been
received and public suspense is at Its height
in that usually quiet place. Speaking of
the matter local paper says q telegram
sent to Blunt brought back the reply that
Carpenter went TO Sioux Falls two months
ego. This rumor brings to mind that since
Carpenter has become entangled in this
murder mystery his past career has come to
the surface, and il was soon discovered that
years ago boy named Orrin A. Carpenter,
of the make up and age that he would have
been at that time, was tried and convicted
of burglary and served a term in the
Massachusetts, state prison. The story was
published here while Carpenter was max
ing his arrangements to leave, and although
be heard it as well as his friends no denial
was made even in reply to direct questions
concerning il.
The marriage of his daughter, which
took place on the eve of his leaving here,
was attended by the rather novel spectacle
of clothing merchant, demanding that
the bridegroom pay for the wedding suit
he wore. or peel ins.anter. Thu Hebrew
meant business. The clothes were paid for
and the play proceeded. After the groom's
exit from here il was found that he had
left mourning creditors behind. The mar
risge so economically begun Eugene Stein,
the groom, was in Carpenters parlor on the
night OF the murder, and at the inquest
sadly contrsdicted his sweetheart's testi-
mony, but aiterward his affection changed
his note), could but have q queer ending.
The honeymoon was scarcely past when
the newly welded wife lief, Eugene and re-
turned to the home of her father.

A "KLEPHT CAUGHT.
A Female Shoplitter Made to Dis
gorge Stolen Jewelry

About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon &
stylishly dressed young woman about eigh
teen years of age entered John Lsndes' Jew
elry store In the BAzoo building and asked
to be shown some rings. A couple of tray,
containing several of these valuable finger
ornaments was placed on the counter in
front of her. She tried several OF them on
but finally came TO the conclusion that
none suited her. She then asked to be
shown set of silver goblets which were
in another part of the store. While Mr.
Landes was getting them for her she slip
ped couple of the most valusble rings,
which had been left before her, into her
pocket. The theft was not d. tected by the
jewelsr and after looking at the goblets 8
few minutes, the woman left.
Soon after her departure, the jeweler
commenced 10 replace his goods, when he
was astonished to discover his loss. He
then obtained the lady's name and the as
sistance of Chief of Police Barnett and
paid visit TO her residence, which is in the
south part of the city. On being accosled
about the matter the girl denied her guilt,
but after little psrlying "fessed up" and
turned over the missing jewelry.
Her name is withheld from The public on
account of her parents, who are poor, but
honest, hardworking people. She is known,
however, to be pretty fast, and for some
time the police have had her under sur
veilance.

CHALLENGE

bond which he signed for the Chicago de-
tective -Esmand alias Mark Felton-the
double dealer employed by Carpenter as q
spy in the camp of the prosecution. In his
eagerness to serve Carpenter, FELTON, got
his foot in it and was indicted for obtain
ing money under false pretense. To save
his carcass from jail, Esten, the partner,
signed the bond. FELTON, went to Chicago,
and although he bad received his.
pay in full, sent another bill to
Carpenter for 800. which was
not paid. In revenge and to save himself
from conviction be fled to Canada, and is.

gion, while Esten is making arrangements
to pay the ungrsteful villains bond money.

left here be failed to make his promised
statement The belief that he cut the poor
girls throat is becoming 6rmer and 6rmer
as time slips away, and but few who are
best acquainted with the facts have any
idea that the murder will be laid at the
door of any one else.

Inhuman Hackney.

The Jefferson City Journal tells the fol-
lowing story of mans inhumsDity to wom-
an: ga very sad case of wife desertion came
under potice of the police Thanksgiving.
Several weeks ago a man and his wife
named HACKNEY, came here from Kansas
and took up quarters in the old frame house
opposite Clem's livery stable. In short
time the man left for parts unkr own and
the woman was lett in helpless and desti-
tute condition. Wednesday night, she, all
alone in that wrelched house, gave birth to
a child.
NNothing was Known of her actual con-
dition until Thanksgiving morning when
the police found the matter out. The child
was then dead and the mother lying
in cold and vacant room on
pile of old rags. The woman in,
fact, was nearly frozen and starved to death,
Marshal Schrimer at once took steps to
have her present wants relieved, in which
he was substantially aided by Judge Swift,
of the county court. The dead child was
turned over 10 undertaken Heinriches and
buried by him, aud the woman was hastily
provided with everything that she needed.
Any man that is brute enough to de-
sert his wife and leave her in The condition
indicated by the case, should be promptly
lynched. There is no other remedy in the
world for such animals and nothing else
would have such healthy effect on the COM
munity."
Such wretches should be hunted down
with bloodhounds and il they escape their
voracious maws they should be hung TO the
frat convenient limb.

A Strange Coincidence.

The unfortunate killing of Ed. Wright,
of Moberly, by the accidental discharge OF
his fuu while out hunting last Wednesday,
recalls the fact that about year ago his
brother was shot in almost identically the
same way. Although nearly one-half his
face was blown away he finally recovered,
but in a terribly dis6gured condition.
Ed. Wright, at the time OF his death,
was about % years of age, and had q Wild
owed mother, who was solely dependent on
him for support.

Burnough's Bad Break.

The old adsge shat little authority
is sometimes q dangerous thing" was
pretty we'll exempliied in East Sedalia
the past week 10 the case of one Burnough,
who by some means secured an sppoint-
ment as special policeman from Mayor
Hickman, to look after the hoodlums who
had rendered themselves odious by un-
seemly and disorderly conduct in and
about the Montgomery street church after
the Inauguration of the protracted meet
iugs under the conduct of Miss Smith.
Whether il was from the unusual an
noyance produced by his efforts to perform
his duty turning his head or an
overzealousness, resulting from his
ignorant bigotry and self importance, mat
tiers not. The fact stands that Mr.. Bur-
nough proved to be fully as much of nui-
sance as the one he attempted TO abate, if
the reports OF the parties concerned are to
be relied on. Burnough during the past
week made two arrests but In both cases
failed to sustain any charge against
his prisoners. This was bad enough, but
on Thanksgiving night it is said he COM
plefely outdid himself. The story us told
TO the BAzoo's scribe is that on the evening
in question, r. ID. Jackson, jr., son of the
well known lightning rod man accompanied
by his sister and several other
ladies attended the meeting. When they
arrived they found the building crowded
and every seat occupied. Taking a stand
in the rear of the room they were decor
ously listening to the discourse. Young
Jackson's sister was holding MS hat in her
hand when Burnough entered, and rudely
addressing him, ordered him TO leave,
finally eiecting the boy and compelling
him to 90 home without his hat. Return
ing to the church Burnough abused the
ladies soundly, even going so far as to shake
his fist in Miss Jackson's face. If these
charges are true Burnough not only de-
serves severe punishment, but the contempt
of every gentleman.
