Pretty woman Arrested for Murder.

There is a good deal Of excitement in
Union county over the arrest Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Larriway, charged with the murder of
Oscar Krusen, former husband of Mrs.
Larriway's and her young son. The main
points of the story are that last spring Mr..
krusen and family, with Larriway, started
to Kansas for land with 81, 800. In a month
or so Mrs. Krusen returned, stating that
her husband and Mrs. Larriway had gone
into the interior for land. A little later
Mr.. Larriway returned alone and reported
that Krusen and his son had gone further
on. A close intimacy then sprung up be-
tween Larriway and Mrs. Krusen. and after
time they married and settled in Dakota,
she claiming that Krusen was dead. Last
July the body of man, believed to be Kru-
sen, was found in a ravine near EldoradO,
Kan, and the arrests are now made upon
suspicion that they had caused his death.
The woman is young and pretty.
