New Florence, Mo-, Dec. 16.-SOme two
months ago Mr.. Chas. Autenreith, a
wealthy farmer living near Big Spring,
Montgomery county, was married to his
second wife, maiden of thirty-five, from
Boone count an es;imable lady. The
conditions Of the marriage were that the
old gentleman should give her consider
able sum of money, which ii seems he fail
ed to DO. Some four weeks ago Mr..
Autenreith and his bride had a disagree
ment about the children, who were numer-
Gus. and about the conditions of the mar
riage statement, when Mr.. Autenreith
gathered up what money he had in the
house, which amounted to several thous-
and dollars, and left home, since which
time no trace of him has been found. Some
are inclined to believe that he has been
waylaid and murdered for the money he
was known TO have about him, and others
think he is hiding in the belief that his
wife will leave, when he will return and
take possession of his house and refuse TO
allow her to return. The disappearance is
creating considerable excitement in the
Immediate neighborhOod.

continued with good degree OF Success

lessons and librarians. He has examined
the alleged coal, iron and copper mines

appear in the annual publications of the

has arranged to deliver lectures on scientific
subjects and has decamped, after making as
many dupes as possible. He is said to
have fair command of geological and

A Horrible Tragedy.

McCune, KS, Dec 14.-The town is in a
tremor OF excitement this afternoon, and
crowds are gathered in and about the
school house in which the children of
McCune's citizens are educated, but which
now harbors the dead body of little Mamie
Livesy, girl of twelve years, who was
shot down and killed by playmate as the
children were passing out to dinner at II
o'clock. The boy, whose name wss Wat
son, is the same age as the little girl and
had p.ayfully threatened her life during
the morning. He'd taken his fathers pistol
with him TO school ana was exhibiting it
to the children at recess. Among others
who handled the revolver, was the little
girl, never suspecting that it was loaded
Nor did the boy know there were cartridges
In the revolver. As the Children were
passing out in two rows, the boys out of
one door and the girls out of another, little
Watson pointed the revolver at the girl,
nlpped it, and the bullet hit its fair aim
in the heart. The girl fell dead and in the
intense excitement which followed, the boy
fled to the woods. He will probably re-
turn before night.
