WICHITA, KAN, March Last August the
body Of J. Hamilton, the son of a well-to-do
farmer, was found on the prairie two miles
south of SedgWick City, but had reached
such a state of decomposition that the coro-
ner made only cursOFy examination and it
was buried. He had been away from home
about three weeks, and was supposed by
friend TO be in Kansas City visiting rela-
tives. 1t was thought that he had died from
a fit.
There were no suspicious of foul play IN
til yesterday, when a neighbor found a hat
in the hedge near the spot where Hamilton
had been found which had been pie-ced with
a bullet, he knowing the deceased quite we'll
thought it had belonged to him, and his sus-
piclOus were aroused and neighbOrs in
formed of the discovery.
The coroner was notified and yesterday
the body of Hamilton was taken from the
grave. and an examination showed that he
had been shot through the head. Strong
suspicion rests on a yOUng man of the
neIghbOFhOOd who Is reported as being
greatly in love with the lady to whom Ham
iltOn = as engaged, and soon after the bur
ial of Hamilton made advances to the young
lady, but was not cordially received, and
about December left for parts unknown.
Hamilton Is not known to have an enemy in
the ueighbOrho0d, and the matter has set
that section wild with excitement.

A Divorce Case OF More Than Usual I'm
Portance at Wichita.
WICHITA, KAN, March IA case Of more
than usual importance is made public
through the filing in the district court Of
this county OF Carson vs.. Carson. The
plaintiff, Elizabeth Carson, asks for di-
7oree from her husband, Andrew Carson, on
the grounds Of abandonment aud cruelty.
In her petition, as well as from statements
made to her attorneys, a story q cruelty
desertIOn and priyatiOn Of peculiar interest
l. set forth.
The couple WIRE married in Kilrae, Ire
land, April, 1861. B tn young and hOuyant

the Atlantic to Canada, where they remained
until the termination OF the rebellion and
then came to central Illinois. fortune
smiled upon them and at the end of ten
years hard labor they found that by theIE
united energies they had smassed neat
little fortune. DispOslng OF their property
here, with the proceeds, something over
Sc, 900, they returned t t'Ould Ireland" TO
spend the remainder Of their days IN peace
and rest. In September, 1876, Car
son left his wife Ostenslbly TO return 70 lii
nOis to collect the remainder due upon their
estate. Upon his a rival at Philadelphia he
wrote to his wife that he intended TO leave
for good, and that she must not follow him.
IS she would n5ver seq him. Shocked by
] this terrible message, and seeing no reason
[
I Of apparently happy married life, the poor
wife then began a search for her truant er-
! ring husband For ten years this search has
| been kept up. With little or no money,
/ and no clue to his whereabouts,
| this poor woman has wandered all
over the United States, many times subslsJ-
| ing upon the bounty of kind-heaFted Irish
/ people to whom che related her story, and
permitted to travel upon the cars thrOugh the
indu! gence Of conductors. Sometimes she
would remain at place, working as a waiter
| or dOmes &c, to get money enough 70 con
tinus the search. It was while serving IN
this capacity at Kansas City in December
last that she heard of her husband living in
Kingman county. She came 20 that place
and found him living with another woman
and surrounded by another family. de had
increased in wealth, living IN good house
and vas the owner Of Sc. eral valuable tracts
of land. He refused 70 talk with her and
said that ne had procured a divorce. 1t sp-
pears that he ha , through publication of a
min teen days notice and by swearing that
he knew not the whereabouts of his wife,
obtained a divorce, but 1t has since bean set
aside by the court. Mrs. Carson as soon as
she found out the true state Of affairs came
to this city and made application for d.
1rce and alimOny from the estate OF her
husband. Carson besides becoming wealthy
has gained the respect Of his neighbOrs, and
has held and been candidate for q number

Coal Mines shut Down for Good.

LEAvEEwORTH, March 2.-Ths prOprietors
of the LeavenWOrth coal mine shut the mine
for good to-day and al work has been sus-
pended. The miners were directed % get
their tools from the mine and the mules
were brought from below and stabbed and
notice given to all employees that there was
no further work for them to do. This &C
ton was expedited by a fear of trouble on
the part of the mine owners and they have
given 1t out that they cannot and will not
pay cents per bushel for mining.
The LszveuwOrth Coal cOmpany-is said to
have the best equipped mine Of the kind in
the country and has been IN operation for
the last eighteen years without accident.
The company has the best of machinery,
and has a capacity of 600 bushels per day,
but It has never been worked to its fullest
limit. The miners seem determined to hold
out for cents per bUshei, and say they viii
never work for cents, which is all the COM
pany viii give AS both sides seem so de-
terminsd there Is no likelihood of the differ
ences being adjusted, and in ali probability
this finely equipped mine, with capital of
Sl5l.OOO, viii remain Idle for a long time.
At the Riverside mine about forty miners
we're at work to-day, and there was no show
OF any disturbance. At the penitentisry
mine 45O couvicts were digging coal, and
that mine can supply the local demand.
