HORRIBLE.
One of the Most Fiendish Out.
RACES Ever Perpetrated

The following special to the BAzoo from
Upton, briefly explains one of the most
cruel and strocious crimes ever committed
in civilized community, and one which
demands at the hands of justice the most
summary and severe punishment within
the bounds of the law:
i Upton, Mo, August 1O.-(Special.)-
Our community has been terribly shocked
at an outrage committed by John Jones
upon Miss Lille chatham. Jones hired
team in Versailles on Saturday evening
last, to ride around the city, and got Miss
Char man to ride with him. From the
best information at hand, it seems that
JONES drugged Miss Chairman and brought
her to Upton Sunday morning. about
o'clock, and got rooms at the ST. Louis
house, keeping her in the room until
her friends came about o'clock in the
afternoon, when Jones skipped out west.
Miss chatham was still unconscious and In
a deplorahle condition, everything going to
show that she had been terribly outraged.
Miss chatham lives in Linn Creek, Usage
county. and her mother is a widow. She
was visiting her uncle, Mr.. Vaughn, at
Ver.ailles. If Jones is caught it will go
very nard with him. 1t should be q case of
Judge Lynch.
Jones is brother of a hardware dealer
and respectable citizen of Versailles, and
| from the best information ebtainsble was
visiting this brother, and was but little
known to the people of Versailles. Mr..
Varghu, whom Miss chatham was visiting
is the keeper of livery stable in Versailles
End il was from him Joles procured the
team on Saturday. He is believed to have
gone to Kansas City, but it matters little
where he wen', he should be hunted down
and brought back TO face his victim and
the consequences of his crime.
LATEB.
From a gentleman who arrived in the
city from Versailles yesterday the BAzoo
learns the following particulars concern
ing the revolving crime which has created
such sensation there. Miss Lille Chat.
man, the victim of the terrible outrage, is
the daughter OF widow lady who resides
at Linn, In Usage county. For the past
few weeks Miss chatham has been visiting
| her uncle, Mr.. Vaughn, at Oerssilles. She
is young girl some Is years Of age, rather
handsome and plump but not of very
bright cast of mind. During her stay at
her upcle's, John Jones, the iend incarnate
who p rpetrated the outrage, has been visit.
ing his brother, who is prosperous and
respectable young hardware desler in the
same town. Jones was formerly clerk
for this brother and by this means became
somewhat acquainted with the people of
the little will :ge and they with him, but
for some time past Jones has been
CLERKING IN A DRUG STORE
at Wyandotte, Kansas. He is a young
man OF medium height, fair complexion
and sandy hair, with smooth face. In hab-
il be is somewhat dissolu:e. and as a con-
sequence, is not favorite with the good
people of Versailles. During his late visit,
Jones has been paying his attentions to
Miss Chstman, much to her uncle's dis
like Mr.. Vaugha, who endeayo-ed, with
out avail, to persuade her not to encourage
him. List Saturday aft srnoon Jones SCI
cured horse and buggy and invited Miss
Chairman to take short ride. Her uncle
begged her not to go, but she declined to
listen 10 his advice, and they drove off to-
getber. Some Of those who saw them de-
clare Jones was un!er the influence OF
liquor. Be that as it may, little seems to
be known of their movements after start
ing, beyond the fact that after driving
about the town short time Jones stopped
at Livingstone's saloon and purchased
THREE BOTTLES OF BEER,
which he placed 10 TIE buggy and started
west. Miss Lille, failing to return home.
Mr.. Vaughn's family became uneasy
concerning her, and after Whiting until 10
p m. Saturday, gave the alarm, notified
The authorities and began a thorough search
which was continued all night without
avail. About noon Sunday, however, it
was rendered pretty certain from wbat in
formation could be gathered that Jones had
gene with her In the direction of Upton
and Mr.. Vaughn and a number OF others

arriving in Upton about p. m, only to
ind that Jones had accomplished his 6end-
ISL work and fled on a freight train on
hearing OF their presence In the town. Miss
