We learn that Mr.. John w. Keller,
who mysteriously disappeared some
ten or fifteen days ago from Ashtabula.
in the upper end of the parish. was
found on Tuesday near Stirling, Ark
There are several reports of the
manner in which he was found and
the way in which he met his death.
One is, that he had an indentation
above the nose on his forehead, and
that when found he was lying across
some small limbs of a tree; that his
gold watch was gone and his pockets
were pulled up, but not entirely
turned inside out. So the indications
point TO the cold blooded murder OF
Mr.. Keller. His remains were taken
to the Hills on Wednesday by Mr.. Jas
S. Millikin. where they were laid
away in the family burying ground
