was found dead in bed yesterday from
the effects of bite of an insect known
as the "persimmon worm" This worm
is called by that name because il lives
principally on the leaves OF the per-
simmon tree. Mr.. Smith was bitten on
the left hand. and he complained OF
being sick within an hour. When his
dead body was found, the arm and side
had swollen immensely, and had turned
the color of tobacco Juice. These
worms are so numerous that the trees
upon which they feed are almost de-
nuded of leaves. Five years ago they
were quite common in this locality.
The people in this neighborhood hold
them in deadly fear. Some persons are
disposed to classify them as tobacco

A certain young man, or boy, as he is

had for some time kept company with
each other. and made up their minds
TO get married. All arrangements were
made and everything seemed rosy and
bright till II was found that a very
essential thing had been overlooked

given their consent The young man
at once set about to remedy this, ana

formed that he could not have the girl
of his choice for a wife. After consid-
ering the matter he proposed to the
girl that they elope. This she refused

George s. Horton, aged about 30, was
married TO Miss Maude Smith of
Liberty, Mo-, last spring, and Just
afterward was arrested for living with
another woman, with whom he had
come in the spring. He was sentenced
to Jail for ninety days, which sentence
he is still serving. The other woman's
maiden name was Sophronia Collins.
and Horton was married TO her at Mon
tezuma, Iowa, in 1889. He was afraid
to show this fact when arrested, as
It would have shown him to be a biga-
mist. II is said that Horton has been
married this year to two other women
Miss Maggie Ramey, OF Carthage, and
Miss Nellie Desha, of Neodesha, Kan.
Another marriage was TO Miss Mcvey,
of Highland. Iowa, some time ago. IL

former are suing for a piece OF land
lying in the Level Woods" in Larne
county, upon which is situated dilap-
idated log cabin, the blood-stained
walls of which, were they gifted with
the power of speech, could tell of a
midnight assassination, the atrocity of
which stands almost without an equal
in the annals of crime.
A short time before the outbreak OF
the Civil war, there lived at one OF the
little towns adjacent to Hodgenville,
lovely girl, just budding into woman
hood, named Mary Schader. Her father
was German grocer. In the same
square with the Schaders lived DR.. AL
fred Hines, physician of note, and a
man who stood high with all classes
OF the community. He was advanced
in years, quite wealthy, and the father
of large and interesting family. He
was the Schaders' family physician, and
an intimacy sprung up between him
and Mary. When the truth was dis
covered her father arranged with Ben
Pickerell and wife of Larne county,
TO take the girl and care for her until
she recovered from her approaching
illness. They were to receive sufficient
remuneration for their trouble, and
Hines, 1t is said, footed the bill.
The Level Woods is about eight
miles from Hodgenville, and is an al
most unbroken forest. 1t is hard to
| imagine a more forbidding and dcs-
olate place. In the heart of this dreary
wilderness was the home of Ben Pick
erell. Here Mary Schader was taken,
and, after a few months a boy was
| born.
| Old Pickerell was rather well-to-do,
| owning a large farm and number of
slaves. His family consisted of his
wife and several children, among
whom was a grown son.
After Mary Schader recovered, she
decided to remain with the Pickerells
and her child were installed In a log
cabin some distance from the family
residence. Her baby throve and grew
to be a fine healthy boy, and Mary
herself was more charming and pref
tier than ever. She was quiet and I'M
obtrusive and made friends readily,
and she and her baby became favorites
| OF almost the entire neighborhood.
| There was one who was particularly
| attentive to Mary. This was Picker
ellis son, a handsome young fellow,
| just arrived at manhood's estate. That
Mary reciprocated his tender feelings
was evident TO all; but this attachment
was looked upon with great disfavor
by the young mans mother. Love rec
ognizes no discipline, however. and the
old lady's opposition only increased
the affection between the couple In
the meantime Mary Schader had made
| IL known that she intended to institute
suit against Doctor Hines, and that
gentleman was greatly worried about
| il. Thus Miss Schader's existence had
become exceeding obnoxious TO two
persons. Mrs. Pickerell had repeatedly
urged her son to cease his attentions
to the "wanton," as she styled her, and
had also spoken to Mary about the
matter In no mild terms, but the lovers
persisted in their determination to
marry. After a time Mrs. Pickerell

II Is not long since that stately and
graceful girl entered a street car on
one of the principal thoroughfares on
the west side. II was at an hour when
the cars are but scantily patronlzed.
and the only other occupants of the
car were two ladies and a man. She
was faultlessly attired, and the women

after carefully examining every detail
of her charming blue costume from
throat to hem and appraising its cost
to the remotest fraction of dollar,
turned and looked out of their own
windows. Nobody noticed the man,
who was well dressed. but otherwise
Insignificant in guise, save for a mag
niilcent diamond on his finger.
But the man, who sat not far away
from the stately girl, was not so alb
sorbed in the passing show OF the
sidewalk. Slowly he edged nearer to
the flowing blue skirt with the line OF
the pocket just revealed by the white
tip Of handkerchief. The girls mind
had wandered from the sidewalk and
was lost in plans Of her own, but she
was not too dreamy to be conscious OF
hand gently cropping in her pocket.
Nerved by indignation, She turned and
grasped through the cloth the hand OF
the well-dressed man which was taking
the purse out of her pocket, and even
as she did so he released his hold OF
