anything they might need But their sky
was not without a cloud. A storm was TO
burst upon them. Correspondence had
been going on with parties in Kansas, and
on Aug. 3 a copy of paper called the Kan
sas Western World, published at Wakeeney.
Kan, dated Aug. 20, 1855, was received
by parties living here. The statement read
as follows: "A man has been found buried
in rayine near EldoradO, Butler county,
and every indication points TO foul and
FIENDIsH MURDER"
The man had been buried face downward.

and the job was so well done that but for
an accident the body in all probability
never have been discovered. A shallow
grave had been dug i'm the grass, the BODY
rolled i'm, the grave filled up and the sOds
placed in position, and fire built out of a
trunk belonging to the murdered man upOn
the grave. There was nothing upon the
body of the man that would lead to its iden-
tilication. The man was dressed in white
shirt, brown Oyeralls, and was without
shoes or hat. lie was about six feet in
height, and apparently about 80 years Of
age. The body had been buried nearly if
not quite two months. A spade bearing the
initials o. G. X. had been found near the
boys hunting also a frying pan and the
charred blade of butcher knife. A blue
shirt and red flannel undershirt were found
near by by other parties. but were supposed
to have been thrown away by campers and
no particular attention was paid To the cir
cumstance. IL was left for the dog of an
emigrant by the name of Henderson to
make the ghaStly discovery. The camp
was near by, and the dog was noticed whin
ing and digging at the spot, and finally un-
earthed the knee of human being. That
there had been murder most foul COM
mitted there was no doubt, but that the
murderers were supposed to have covered
their tracks so that they might never be dis
covered. But murder will out. As soon as
this paper was received here. IN some un-
accountable way Laniway heard Of it,, he

AFTER MUCH CORRESPONDENCE

patch to arrest Mr.. and Mrs. Larriway at

proceeded to the house of a neighbor on
Sunday. Learning that the parties were
at home. the officers put up for the night.
At 10 O'Clock on Monday morning they

and were then brought TO this city. The
preliminary examination was commenced
before Justice Smythe at once. the Kansas
officers arriving two days afterward. The
case was fought inch by inch by the de-
fense. and was in progress when the reQui-
Sition from the governor of Kansas and the
eXtradItion warrant of Gov. Pierce arrived
from Bismarck. The hearing was dis
missed and the parties turned over to the
Kansas officers. Sheriff Dodson of Butler
county, and Marshal Coleman of Usage

for them to escape a conviction. The little
