Infatuated People Chop Off a Murder
er'S Limbs.

The particulars of a tragedy at Crawfords
vile, Ark, have been received from the
brother-in-law of the murdered girl, who
resides in Memphis, and who has just re-
turned from the scene.
Miss Goss was missed during the night and
a search was made, but without success until
daylight, when her mutilated corpse was
found about 300 hundred yards from the
house. She had been assaulted and then
murdered. The whole neighborhood soon
gathered and search for the murderer began
at once. Suspicion pointed to Corvett, who
had been around the house the night before
in an intoxicated condition. From his wife
it was learned that he came home early in
the morning drunk and informed her that he
had murdered Miss Goss, at the same
time threatening to kill her if she did not keep
his secret. Without waiting for the slow
process of the law the Infatuated people
took Corvett to the scene of the murder, and
with an axe cut off his arms and legs and
severed his head from his body. When Miss
Goss's brother-in-law left the mob was pre-
pairing to cremate Corvetts remains.

from Thomas Barnes, Samuel Duna-
van and Osmond Thompson. w. II.

time of his election with Samuel Dun
avian and Osmond Thompson as
surety. In October, 1882, the Den
nette Harvester company, which Is

vester company, got Judgment in

James Ryan, the "Wild Man of Wal
lace was adjudged insane by jury
in Judge Snyder's court on Friday af-
lum at Kankakee. During the month
of September. 1889, the farmers in the
vicinity of Wedron, Dayton, and
Wallace township, were nearly scared
into tit by the statement that a wild
man was running loose through the
country. Everyone was on the look
out, and finally the alleged wild man
was captured by Mr.. DebOlt near his
| farm in WedrOn. He was brought to
Ottawa, and August II was sentenced
to serve six months in the county Jail
for vagrancy. At the time he was
caught he was barefOOted and wore an
old cap two sizes too large for him. A
torn shirt and pair of pantal0ons
and a much-abused Overcoat COM
prised the remainder of his costume.
| His hair and beard were nearly foot
long and had become tangled, owing
to the fact that it was never cOmbed.
His face, hands and feet fairly walked
with dirt. He was taken to the cOlln-
ty jail August II and given thorough
washing. Since that he has not left
his cell, and spends the day sleeping
with heavy blanket rolled around
his body. He refused to talk to any
one, and very seldom said yes or no.
DR.. Hathaway testified that he had
examined Ryan and come to the con-
clusion that he was insane, but the
cause is unknown. The man is prob
ably 30 years old, but no one knows
where he came from, or anything
about him. His is indeed very sad
case

The last step in the foreclosure pro
ceedings of Hughes V. Mooney took
place Monday when the So acre farm
in Ophir township was sold for So, 300
to Edward Brady. Hughes had d
So, 600 mortgage on an 80 acre farm be
longing to Mooney and located in
Ophir township. Hughes wanted a
settlement and commenced suit fol
strict foreclosure. The suit was tried
before Judge Dibell last fall and early
in December an opinion was handed
down by the court. 1t was ordered
that homestead, allowed by the law
in such cases, be taken out and the
balance of the property was to be sold
and if the sale did not realize sufficient
to pay the mortgage, then the home
stead was to be sold and the judgment
satisfied. OF the 80 aces, "a were set
off for the homestead and the remain
ing So were sold for So, 800, as stated.
This is equal to about $50 an acre,
which is remarkably low price, as IL
is said the land is worth at least $50
or 300.
