And now touching this last sad
and lamentable occurrence-ihe death
of my wife. This only will 1 say at
present: Ever since our sojourn in
st. Louis, she had everything my
means could procure for her my
purse, neager as it was, stood ready
open at her command; never did she
receive harsh or unkind word from
me; and although / drank some, it is
untrue that it was to such an extent
as has been made to appear, and
which / could clearly show by friends
in st. Louis were there. My wife
knew for days before left that I in
tended dUing so, and on Wednesday
morning of last week We had a final
talk about it, in which / told her
to 60 home; that | sho uld
never seek a divorce from
her, but would always supply her with
money as my means allowed. / then
gave her s25, having only $35 and
some cents in my pocket, and had she
preserved, and not destroyed my note,
this fact would be made apparent.
My wife then agreed to all / suggested
and promised to start.for Paducah IN
a few days. Not by one word or act
did she intimate her intention to COM
NIT the fearful deed she afterwards
did; and I now publicly and freely
state that had she done so, or had i
entertained the slightest idea that she
would, / should have lived with her
until nature called one of US, no mat
ter what may have been, and is, the
cause Of our separation.
This is all will say now, or will
ever say, in regard to this matter, un-
less l am driven and goaded in sheer
Justice, not to myself, but to my gray
haired mother, to make q complete
and unvarnished statement, supported
by other testimony than my own, of
the whole cause of this unhappy
matter. will bear the burden thus
far placed upon me, because will
not put my hand on the dead in self
Justification, unless forced by repeated
upon me.

IS true that / received at two different

HANGING TOO GOOD.
A Brutal Attempt Made to Out
rage q Five-year-Old Girl
i'm East Sedalia

In East Sedalia.
Mrs. Florence Warren IS a widow
lady residing at No. 14i4 East Third
street, with h.r family of four chill
dren, aged respectively three, five,
eleven and sixteen years. Mrs. War
rem is Of necessity compelled to be
absent herself from home q consider
able portion of the time, and has
been IN thAhabit of leaving the two
youngest Children to take care of
themselves.
Tuesday evening about 7.30 o'clock,
Mrs. Warren, after putting her two
little girls to bed, went In company
with Mrs. Paul Smith, q lady friend,
to do some shopping, and also to see
her Oldest daughter, Lilly, who
is employed in one of
the stores in the city. During her
absence the house was entered by
some scoundrel who, aft-r taking .
leisure survey of the premises, pro-
ceeded to the bed where the two sleep
ing children lay and raising the bed
clothes proceeded to handle the young
est girl, aged three, very roughly.
She screamed and he stuffed the pill
low into her mouth and then proceed
ed to cut her underclothing into frag.
ments. The other little girl being
thoroughly awakened by this time
Joined her cries to those of her sister
and their combined screams, it is pre-
.sumed, frightened the scsundrel away.
The little girl upon whom the out
rage was attempted is about three years
of age, very pre- ty and more than
ordinarily intelligent.
She describes her assailant a. q tall
man with Q moustache, who wore Q
cap with . button on the top. She is
positive that he had q white handled
knife. She says that when first
awakened she supposed that it was
her mother returning, and conse-
quently felt no alarm. Her FIRST In
timation Of danger was when the man
leaned over her, brandishing the knife.
Mrs. Warren is confident that she
has noticed q man answering
closely the description Of the
one given by her little
daughter prowling about her house
for the past few days. Others are
confident that they have seen the
same man and the police are on a
warm trail.
The most sigular thing in connec-
ton with the affair is that the matter
was not reported to the police until
i:3O yesterday afternoon = twenty-one
hours after the occurrence of the events
recorded above. Mrs. Warren ex-
plains this by saying that she was not
with any of the policemen,
hence did not know what to do until
advised by friends.

that exists is the well-known poem of
Burns, containing, as it does, some rec
ord of the most generally practiced GUS
toms in connection with this really an
cient vigil, but, considering the popu-
larity of the subject, there Is wonder
fully limited halloween" literature.
The succeeding threefold chronicle may
possibly, then, contain something novel
as well as of interest to many readers. 1t
NAV be that the time is not far distant
when All.hallows Eve will lose its hold
upon rural as completely as it has upon
urban populations, when bonfires will be
lit only by few youngsters, when ap-
pies will cease to be ducked for, and
when nuts will no longer be set ablaze
amid the red-hot Goals; bat the writer,
for one, believes that such time is not
yet at hand, aud disbelieves that Hallow-
cen will disappear altogether as festival.
1t is not only that there would be
revolution in the child-world if such sac
rilegious disuse were to become the fash
ion, but that there are too many older
children interested in the famous eve to
allow its celebration to drop altogether
vet awhile. At sea, lin Canada, the States,
Australia, even in India, wherever atrue
Scottish or Irish family is located, there
is sure to be at least enc voice raised IN
favor of the genial old custom. Its su-
perstitious observances must undoubted-
ly pass away-have, indeed, to great
extent already become obsolete-but the
good fellowship, the laughter, the nut
roasting, the apple.ducking, the CANDLE
singeing, ought long to be specially asso-
ciated with the 3lst of October.

A queer Love spell.

In search OF knowledge
He went to Knowledge,
And there was so busy
He often grew dusy;
His time was spent wholly
ON deep studies wsolly;
He wouldn't touch liquor
And never would suiquor;
He did his own sewing
And wouldn't go rewing;
He spent little money
And never was foney;
His heart was like gneiss
Until one day gmeiss,
Attractive and puisne,
Just made him go luisne:
His love was as great
AS birds for its meat;
One morning he said,
"Sweet angel, let's waid."
And she told him. Your

mother escaped. When asked why she
 did not escape from the renegades
 sooner she said it was impossible, as at night she was placed between two of her captors and they grasped her by the wrists to prevent her escape. In the day time they led her horse or else one or two of the Indians would precede the captive on the trail and the remainder would follow to hurry them along and prevent their escape. A rough sketch of the Reservation was drawn by Mir. Cum and the prisoner quickly located Fort Apache, Black River, San Carlos, the Gila, the scene of the fight, trails, roads, etc. She says the captain of her band is named Piel.clee. who is an In. dian we'll known to Mir.

THOSE $1O,OOO BONDS.
How, When and Why They Were
 Issued.

I A.~"s uGp e"u why W VI V | Issued.
 A brief statement of facts in relation
 10 the $Io,ooo-city bond question, which
 is now agitating the Council, may be in-
 teresting to EPITAPH readers.
 The Twelfth Legislature. in 1883,
 passed an act "to provide for the erec-
 ton of public buildings in the city of
 Tombstone and other matters relating
 thereto" This act authorized the Con- mon Council of Tombstone to issue bonds not exceeding in the aggregate $Io,ooo, for the purpose of erecting city hall and jail, bonds to bear interest at rate not to exceed ten per cent, pay able half yearly, the Mayor and Council to levy annually tax sufficient to pay interest and further additional tax as may be required, to raise sum sufficient to pay and redeem not less than 900 of these bonds on January Ist of every year, until the whole are paid and the Treasurer of the city is required to set apart, out of the general fund, every year sufficient sum to redeem 5000 of said bonds. The moneys so set apart not to be used for any purpose other than the redemption of said bonds,
 These bonds were purchased by D. A. Sanford of Tucson. The proceeds were applied to the building of the city hall, $6,ooo; engine house, $I,ooo, and the balance to the lwater works. The old Council set apart fund for redemption, in accordance with the law, but the pres ent Counsel has omitted to do so. The | consequence is that now, when the bonds l are due, there is no money in the treas ury with which to pay them
 MT. Sanford appeared before the Council yesterday evening, on behalf of 1 the holders of these bonds. On hearing | his statement, it was, on the suggestion of the Mayor, resolved that the Council should meet this morning at ten o'clock, with Mir. Sanford, in committee of the whole, to talk the matter over and en- deavor to arrive at some satisfactory |
