A Pleasant Trip, ana what Came
Of n

! A youuI lawyer OF TINS place, Ieoilns
considerable pride in his little baby boy
OF 10 months, determined to give grandma
and unclss and annts, who live in
Washington, a surprise party. Ac-
companiei by his little baby, he started
from Woodstock last Saturday morning
and arrived in Washington on time. II
was an eni yable occasion for all parties.
On Monday, he started homs and had
scarcely taken his seat 10 the car, when
neat looking lady was attracted by the
innocent little babe. under the charge OF
a gentleman. Her heart seemed TO yearn
towar Is little Harry and she soon had
"Judgev and Puck" for Harry's amuse-
ment She was indeed infatuated by the
innocent child. Gradually she made the
acquaintance of the father, and as they
were both sprightly conversationalists,
and be was so much relieved by the at
tentions of the lady to his little boy, the
ride towards home proved to be one OF
pleasure rather than of care.
Their appearance to the rest Of the
passengers suggested happy family of
father. mother, and little child.
Just opposite them sat an cid farmer,
silent and of rather gloomy appearance
To them 1t seemed that he might have
struck a dull market and was counting
his losses instead of his gains,
At Winchester, the lady announced
that she was at her destination. She part
ed reluctantly with little Harry and bid
his father a hasty adieu. The old far
mer got up and leisurely followed the
lady who was joined by man who had
been on the train, and as they entered
the sitting room at the depot, the plain
old farmer was suddenly transformed into
wide awake detective. He called a
policeman to his aid and suddenly ex
claimed "Arrest both of them" and IN a
moment the young man was hand-cuff 3D.
and both in custody.
The charming companion of our young
lawyer proved to be Grace Goodwin, OF
Washington, the old farmer was officer
Cochran OF the same city, and the young
man who was entrapped by meeting the
lady proved TO be Monroe Shenk, OF
Clarke county, who has been living in
Washington AMI who was arrested on
the charge of being connected with
holding upC. w. Bubb, the night super
intendent of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railroad, and who alleged that be
was robbed of 1878. of the company's
money. Suspicion was aroused by the
young woman's actions and determine
ton to suddenly leave Washington, aud
the detective followed her until he found
the man whom he wanted. They were
committed to jail in Winchester and were
ts ken back to Washington on the night
train.
The young lawyer congratulated him
self that he had not left the train at
Winchester, with bis fair companion, as
be might have been compelled to have
kept company with hor even longer than
he desired. He, however, arrived home
safely with his little charge, and is now
fully convinced that appearances are
som etImes dceltful.

Terrible wife Murder!
Elmer Weatherholtz Blows his
Wife's Brains out with
BuclxshOt.

Elmer A. Weatherholtz, a young man
of 2G years, who resides near Moore's
Store, in tho western edge Of this comfy,
about 10 miles from Woodstock, was
arrested some time slnoo for brutally
beating his wife, and while confined IN
the Jail here awaiting trial for that
offence, he succeeded during the cold
weather in January in escaping from
Jail.
On Tuesday morning, the people of the
Moore's Store section were shocked by
the news that Weatherholtz had delibar
ately and in cold blood murdered his
young and pretty wife. The report
proved to be olly too true. The savage
brute had concealed himself IN the barn,
where with a musket heavily loaded WITH
buckshot awaited the coming Of his ur-
suspectiDg victim. About o'clock Mr',
Weatherholtz came to the barn to milk,
and when in close range her husband
took careful ann at her and pulling the
trigger he sent the charge Into her head
blowing away the top of her skull and
scattering her brains arornd 10 all direc'
tons, making a CHASTITY and terrible
sight for those whe found hOr lifeless
body.
Immediately after committing his
awful crime Weatherholtz started, as IS
supposed, to make his escape through
the mountains of West Virginia. the line
of that state being but few miles from
the spot where the marder took place,
Although three or more officers and, as
we are informed, a number of citizens
have been trying to capture the murderer
we have heard nothing of his where
abOuts, or that they have discovered any
clue that may lead to his capture.
The maiden name of Mrs. Weather
hotz was Minnie A. Silvius. She was a
very pretty woman, 81 years old, and her
husband was said to be very Jealous of
her. The couple had three children. We
learn that Weatherholtz had also threat
ened TO kill his mother-in-law.
On yesterday, it was suspected that
the mother OF Weatherholtg, was con-
ceallng him and a warrant was about
being issued for her. letter yesterday
from one of the parties in pursuit of him
says; Il could only locate him in Moore's
Ridge, a large woods back of Moores
Store and it would take 100 men to ran
him out.v

ons Of the sAddest scenes that has ever
been witnessed ia this section was the
intermsnt in the same grave on Tuesday
of brother AMI sister, Mrs. Ella Finks

Ms. Finks died from the rsvages of
consumption with which she bad long
suffered. She leaves an affectlonate hus-

tour years to mourn the irreparable loss
of a devoted wife and mother.
Mr.. Brown was recently taken with
severe bleeding frsm the nose while In
Dayton, Rockingham county, and re-
turned to his home here where the bleed
ing re commenced and continued until
his death. He WAS one Of the best young
men of this section. Both he and Mrs
Finks were members of the Progressive
Dunkard church, and we're highly re-
spectsd by all who knew them.
The bodies were taken TO the home OF
their father, Mr. Newton Brown, where
they remained until they we're laid in
the silent tomb amid the tears of the
bereavsd and ssrrowlng father, sisters,
brothers, husband aud many friends.
The funeral sermon will be preached by

HARRIS IS ALL RIGHT.
State Labor Commissioner w.
g. Bird
Says the Opposition is Slight
and Lacking in influence.
George Martin is His Chief Opponent
Curly Harrison Adds His Testi-
mony Regarding the Situation.

State Labor Commissioner w G.
Bird has returned from an extended
trip over the Third congressional dis
trict where he has been making inves-
legations and getting pointers for his
coming report. Commissioner Bird has
also been in Kansas City, Kan, within
the last few days. The commissioner
is a resident of Kansas City, and is
aware of the political situation in that
city. Speaking of the congressional
situation in the Second district and of
the rumor that Jack Harris defeat is
imminent. the labor commissioner said:
There are a good many sore spots
among the Buchan fellows, it is true,
but the time is so long until the cleo
ton that think these places will heal
before then 1t is also true that there
is an organization sailing under the
head of q Mckinley club" which is
nothing more nor less than an anti
Harris organization, but it cannot make
much difference with the fellows down
there. They are loyal Republicans and
will in the main support the nominee of
the party.
The principal opposition to Harris
comes from George Martin, editor of
the Kansas City Gazette, who was to
have had the Kansas City pOstOffice
in case Billy Buchan had been nOmi-
mated and elected. He is sore because
the deal did not go through and so he
is now fighting Jack Harris, but he will
not cut much of a. hgure-he cannot,
he has not enough influence.
There is no question that Buchan
would like to see about as much dis
turbance raised as possible, but he has
only a limited power now so he can't
do much
II look for Harris to come into Wyan-
dotte with a good majority and also
carry our county"
