With a Shorgun-He is Quoted by the
Sheriff.
ST. LOUIS, September 3.-The Globe
Democrat has adviceS that the little town
of Kirkwood. twelve miles west of here, on
the Missouri Pacific Railroad, was the
scene of bloody tragedy yesterday after
noon. 1t appears that Mrs. Randall,
highly respected lady of the place, had sent
trunk to the blacksmith shop of II. A.
Bauchel to have key made for it Early in
the afternoon the lady called for the trunk
and while she was at the shop Mr.. Bauchcl,
an unmarried man of fifty years, endeav-
ored to impress her with the idea that he
was greatly smitten with her. Mrs. Randall
received these advances coidly, whereupon
Bauchel became very angry, and Selling
a carbine which was in the shop, fired
at and shot the lady in one of her lower
limbs. Bauchel then marched up and down
the street with his carbine and dirk-knife,
and defied arrest
Sheriff Allen was sent for, and when he
arrived he called npDn Bauchel to Surren-

DoxEY.s WIFE

She Was Apparently In the Way and Ha0t
to Be Removable Looks, Too, as If Mr.
johnson Might Have Been Assisted From
the Path of n Guilty Pair.
HOLLY SPRINGS, MI S., September L.
This community has been thrown into g
fever of excitement and Indignation by
the arrest OF Robert Doxey sud Mrs
Walsh johnson upon the eve of their de-
parture from the State, charged with the
murder of Doxey's wife about four
weeks ago.
Doxey and Mrs. Johnson made trip
to Tupelo, Miss, during which time, as
has been recently discovered, they passed
Us husband and wife. Shortly after their
return Doxey and his wife visited Mrs
Johnson, and while there DOxey's wife
was taken suddenly i'll and died without
u physician being called in. The remains
were inferred without post-mortem ex-
animation.
Since the death of Mrs. Doxey, her
husband and Mrs. Johnson have been in
innate, and both sold their effects and
made preparations to leave the Stater
which excited suspicion, and they were.
arrested last Friday, Mrs. Johnson re-
sisting arrest with pistol.
1t was developed that Doxey the day
before his wIfe's death bought strychnine
of druggist here, saying it WAS for
coons that were destroying his corn. He
also bought some liver pills and quinine,
saving his wife was very sick ami he be-
lieved she would die. When Doxey got
home that night he gave his
wife two pills and repeated the
dose next morning. Mrs. Johnson.
said that Tuesday morning after
giving his wife the pills DnXey-
called for saucer and some flour, max
ing two alleged quinine pills and gave
them 10 his wife and that she died ins
two hours. This DOXey denies, and says
his wife in her dying moments told him
Mrs. Johnson gave her some medicine
which tasted badly, and she was poi
soned. The Magistrate committed both
without bail to answer for the murder.
Mrs. Doxey was encientc.
Doxey is a nephew OF the late General
TIindman, of Arkansas. His mother is
an excellent woman, and is Frustrated
with grief. He has two brothers, honest,
industrious men. Mrs. Johnson is
woman of splendid physical development
a beautiful blonde. The body of Mrs.
Doxey has been exhumed, and the stOm-
ach will be analysed, aud if found to con-
tain poison it is hardly probable the pco-
pie will wait Tor the courts TO pass judg-
mcnt on DOXey.
Last March Mrs. Johnson'S husband
and his horse were found dead in ditch
where they had fallen during the night,
and as DoXey was frequently with him,
it is now limited that johnson, rs well as
Mrs. Doxey, was a victim of diabolical
plot.
