Murder at Wallace.

Last Monday afternoon, we believe ii
was, J. E. Stevins, who was running the
Union House at Wallace, shot and killed
Frank Mcdaniel. From Wallace man
World reporter cleaned the following
particulars of the tragedy:
Mcdaniel was boarding at Stevins's,
and had been complaining to others
about the fare. This reached Stevins's
ear. He went to the railroad track,
where Mcdaniel was at work, and de-
manded the settlement of his bill. Nc
Daniel responded that he could not set
tie ii, because he had no money, and
would not have any until he received the
next payment for his work. Stevins then
struck him two or three times. Mcdaniel
then stepped to his coat and took from a
pocket a revolver. Stevins was ready.
He shot McDaniels, and killed him. In
abiding to this shooting, the Echo say 8
that McDaniels kept the st. Louis House,
in Wilson, for short time last winter.
Our informant says that Stevins, seve-
raj times that day, prior to the occurrence
of the tragedy, requested different men
to loan him revolver.
Deputy Sheriff Grover, Of Wallace,
took the murderer to the Ellis county
jail day or two after the occurrence.

Can anybody doubt it?

VIM. Baker Murdered.

By the Topeka Commonwealth of day
before yeste rday, it seems that VIM.
Baker, late of Thomas county, instead of
having been killed by cars on the
Santa Fe, six miles from Atchison, awhi
back, was murdered for his money, and
his body thrown across the track in order
that the murder be covered up by the
dishguring of his body. j. W. Baker,
Williams father, has been investigating
the affair. He has found that his son has
had a splendid piece of land in Thomas
county, that he stood well in the neigh
borhood where his land lies, and that
when last seen in western Kansas by &C.
quaintances he was at Oakley on August
IA. His father went to Atchison, and
had the remains taken up. An exanli-
alton OF the body, the father claims,
proved that he had not fallen from the
train as tramp stealing ride, but that
the facts already mentioned we're reveal
ed plainly by appearances. The father
lives in Nodaway county, Mo-, is seventy
years of age, poor in purse, and is obliged
to desist from tracing the matter further.
