RIG InFAMY or OLE HENo:
M~arshaitown Brute Ruins Two sisters
49, and Murders Ono Of Them,a IA

vn } brute Ruins Two Sisters
49, and Murders Ono Of Them,a IA
MARsHALITowN, Oct. 17.lProbhbly
one Of the most infamous scoundrels in
the state was jailed here yesterday.
He has ruined two sisters and doubtless
caused tn insanity and death OF n Of
them. He is a Norwegian named Ole
Heng. His victims are also Norwe-
gians named Lena and bevana Lowe.
Early last February Lens, tho eldest
sister, suddenly lost her reason and was
sent to the Mt. Pleasant insane asy-
lum, She was a%pparently In physical
distress at the time and died two daye
after her incarceration. The physicians
who attended her in the first illness at
tributed her suffering to the effects Of
cantharides, a dangerous drug admins
tered doubtless with criminal intent.
Suspicion pointed strongly TO Ole
Heng as her destroyer, but he left the
country before any steps could be taken
to investigate matters. This week the
dead girls sister, Levena, who has
been a cripple all her life, learned that
Heng was in Denver and had q warrant
issued for his arrest for seducing her.
The sheriff proceeded to Denver, found
his man and returned here with him to-
day. Being arraigned he waived exam
ination and was held to the grand jury.
A full investigation Will now be made
and developments are expected that
will prove him not only guilty OF seduc-
ton, but of murder.

in making his response. At 8 o'clock
this morning solemn pontificial high
mass was celebrated in the old cathe.

the memory of the oldest mariner along
the waterfront have the East and

car passing down neal Getty avenue,
was carried off by the wind and seriously
injured.

ebb tide, caused a collision between the
big tug boat. James A. Garfield, and
the freight boat, Amos c. Barstow, Of
the Stonington Steamship company.
The Garfield went to the bottom. John
Steel and John Lyons were drowned,
while seven other men on the tug were

Three Pickpockets, OF Kansas City, Hold
Up n Train--Pas.engers Robbed.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 17.--Last night
when the Omaha express on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which leaves the union
depot at $50 p. m, had stopped at the
state line station, a short distance from
the union depot. three men, without
masks, entered the first chair car. One
OF them pretended to be a news agent
selling papers, and while the others
covered the passengers with their re-
volvers, compelled them TO hand over
their yaluables. They then made their
escape. There were about six passen-
gers in the car, and it is impossible to
say how much the robbers got. The
railroad officials are reticent about the
affair, and say only bhe man was robbed,
and that the robbers relieved him OF
$23. 1t is generally believed that they
secured much more. and that they were
pickpockets from here.

for Divorce.
CAIGHAGE, Ill, Oct. l7.-Judge Bag
ley and a jury are listening to a sensa-
tional divorce case in which an aged
and wealthy farmer of this county and
his young wife are the principals. A
handsome young daughter Of the wife is
also an object of interest in the court
room. John Peyton, a widower, wooed
and won the heart of Mrs. Elizabeth
Deck, q thrifty young milliner of Keo-
kuk, la. The twain were married in
Alexandria, Mo-, in September. 1882,
and went to Peytoh's rural boma, W 1lcox
township. The specific charge upon
which the plaintiff relies for a divorce
is that Mrs. Peyton attempted to poison
him with croton oil. He alleges that
Mrs, Peyton sent her daughter, Annie
Deck, TO a drug store in Warsaw to pur-
chase a quantity of croton oil, which
was placed in a Jug Of whisky which
Peyton drank and which made him
violently Ill. Several farm hands who
drank from the same jug also became
