RECENT ILLINOIS SCANDAL.

SPARrANp, ILL.,. June 29.-About
twelve years ago an esteemed citizen
named Carver died, leaving one daughter
and three sons. Subsequently his
widow, whom he had left some $15, 900,
married mere boy named Royal
Frisby. Frisby at once developed into
q first class tough and began spending
the money in debauchery. Citizens
have for long time been in arms
against Frisby, and on Saturday white.
cap circular was sent him and several
sent to the head of families, with the
attached prayer: "Help us for humanity
sake" and signed BY Widow Carver
and her three sous. The original circu.
lar detailed how, while yet the husband
of Mrs. Carver, Frisby ruined her 49,
year old daughter and how she bore him
natural child in the house of his wife,
her father. The father buried the child
in the yard within sixty feet of the
house where Mrs. Frisby was compelled
by threats to witness the grossest of
outrages by her husband until her
daughters shame and the shame of her
household became public property.
Then she secured divorce and immedi-
ately thereafter her husband compelled
her daughter with q second natural
child only two weeks old to marry him.
Yesterday, not having needed the warn
ing of the circular he stepped out of
his house and before he had gone
twenty feet from his door
he was filled full of buck
shot and instantly killed. The coroner's 8
jury held Clip Culver of Henry, Miss
Laura Frisby and her son John Carver,
for the killing. 1t is rumored that Mrs.
Carver's house was burned to the
ground today. The killing meets with
the approval OF the community and
hundreds of citizens have offered to go
on the bonds of the prisoners. 1t is
said the first child born to the daughter
was strangled by Frisby.
