Williams, aged about 80 years, was found at her
home in the suburbs of Aberdeen, with her
throat cut from ear to ear. All day crowds of

that feeling of indignation goes out against
the perpetrator. The woman leaves two small
children, who spent last night with neiglbors
Suspicion points to her husband, William
Williams, who has been supposed to be absent
from his home. The impression prevails that
the husband returned home during the night,
and having reasons to believe that the wife
had been unfaithful, awaited the opportunity.
murdered her and left for parts unknown.
A resolution was introduced in the

Years.

Years.
BoNHAM, Tex, FEBRUARY From the cd
joining county of Lamar, a few miles below
here, comes a pathetic story which bears many
Enoch Arden characteristics. About seven
years ago, in the neighboringhood men
toned, prominent citizen by the name of
David Pierce had occasion to go TO the south
ern part of the state, and, bidding his family
which consisted of a loving wife and two
daughters-an affectionate adieu, to be absent
a few weeks, he took his departure. The weeks
heightened into months, and finally q year had
gone by without any tidings from Pierce, until
one day. a little over FIVE years ago, word was
received from a friend of the Pierce family
that Dave had died somewhere in the lower
part of the state
Mrs Pierce mourned the death of her hus
band with genuine grief but after year
mourning she was persuaded TO abandon he
widow weeds and wed another husband. The
man she married was 4 worthy gentleman and
happiness once more rcignCd in the Pierce
family,until day or two ago the man mourned
as dead appeared in the ncighborhood to seek
his family, not having heard OF his wife's sec
ond marriage. On being informed of that fact
Pierce first became blindly enraged and threat
ened vengeance. but finally Gained down and
called on his wife.
She at sight ofhim, swooned, but finally
rallied and listened to explanations. Pierce,
it appears, on going south suddenly became in
sane, and was placed in the lunatic asylum at
Austin. The friend that sent the word to
Mrs. Pierce thought that he was doing hui
name act, and that she would rather know
that he was dead than to think him insane.
After having been cared os his malady. Pierce
returned home with the result as stated. Find
ing his wife married TO another man, with two
or three small children placed him in an
awkward position. Seeing the wreck oil hap
piness he would cause il he remained and
claimed his wife, no silently and tearfully
turned his back on all that was dear to him,
and bid last farewell to his home.
