a Sickening Crime.

Justice Henderson, of Logan county,
charged with the terrible crime of incest.

Gently gave birth to child. She and her
mother, as well as numerous neighbors,
are said to bear testimony to the truth
fulness of the charge against Upton.
At his preliminary hearing before JUS
tice Henderson, Upton refused to talk.
Such is the state of public sentiment in
his neighborhood that he was very glad
to be placed behind the bars.
In talking to man after the prelimin-
airy hearing, he did not pretend to deny
the charge, but sought to ease himself by
stating that the girl is not his, but that
she was born six months after his mar
Stage. Upton is thirty-eight years of age,
and is said not to be bad-loooking man.
He was elected a justice of the peace last
fall, but thinking there would be no
profit in filing the position, failed to
qualify. His wife, who is said to be a
lady, is almost wild with grief. They have
considerable property.

The Santa Fe Running its Own
Trains from Kansas to Chicago.

The Chicago, Santa Fe & California
Railway, being the Chicago extension of
the Atchison road, is completed to Chicago,
and commences on Sunday, April 18th, to
run through trains from Kansas City,
Topeka, Atchison and st. Joseph to that
city. The trains of the new line will be
of the Vesdbule pattern, of which SO
much has been said in the East, and will
give the people of the West an opportunity
to dip in and enjoy this much Wanted
luxury. The idea of popularizing the line
with travellers has induced the Santa Fe
to make a notable innovation connected
with its Vestibule Trains: no extra charge
will be made. All eastern lines charge
extra for the additional accommodation.
Our people attending the Republican
Convention in June will have a chance to
test the new line.
