The United Masonic Benefit Ass ociation of
Missouri, office at 500 Chestnut, Street, st.
Louis, was represented in our city this week
by z. z. Ellis, General Agent. This "Ma-
sonic Association" is now in its 21st year,
and has paid to widows and orphans Of de-
ceased Masons over two million dollars.
Every claim has been met promptly and in
full, emitting the Association to the motto,
"Fidelity and Fulillment." None but Ma
sons are admitted to membership. The
Board of Directors are such Missouri Masons
as Geo. E. Walker, Of Potosi; DR.. c.. G.
Woods, of Neosho; Rev. j. ID. Nincil and G.
F. Vogel, Esq, st. Louis. The Secre tary,
John I'll. Derms, is an efficient, economical
and safe officer. With such objects and
history, this Association should have the
patronage and cooperation of the craft IN
this State. Mr.. A. Roehry is local agent and
DIR, s. E. Strong local medical examiner for
Ironton and vicinity.
Conside rable interest was manifested in
the preliminary examination of w. s. Nor
ris, on the charge of Bigamy, which was
held before Squire Stone, Tuesday. The
defendant is native of West Virginia, and
on the Dist of February, 1884, married Nida
NJ. TulloCh, at Hinton, in that State. They
lived together up to the 31st of January, 1890,
when he came west, and in March reached
this city, where he secured employment as
fireman. For some time after his arrival
here, he wrote frequently to his wife, but
eventually the letters ceased, and his wife
becoming uneasy, wrote and engaged S. a.
Reppy to look up the missing husband.
Morris had left the city and gone to Arcadia,
returning here about four weeks ago. and
was located, (being recognized at church by
reason of photograph forwarded by his
wife), as living with Mrs. Allison, whose
daughter "a girl of 15) he was reported to
have married. Word was sent TO his wife,
and she reached here Monday and had Nor
ris arrested for bigamy. At the hearing
Tuesday, he denied being married to Miss
Allison, and similar testimony was given by
the girl and her mother, though the latter
had stated in reply TO a question by Mrs.
Crow, that her daughter and Norris were
''married four weeks ago" The defendant
had stated to Willis bearing that he was
married, and pointed out the girl as the one
he had made his wife. The evidence showed
that Morris boarded with Mr.. Allison at Ar
cadia while he was there, and that shortly
after his return to this city, she removed |
here also, bringing her daughter with her,
and that Morris took up his abode with
them, being the only "boarder." The State
was represented by attorneys j. +. Green
and S. A. Reppy, ana the interests of the de-
PENDANT are looked after by Atty bearing.
AS above stated the result of the inquiry is |
that Morris is held for the grand jury
