MANNiSeToN MURDERERs



On Saturday last a well known
peddler, of Warrington, was found
in the woods between Amos and
Warrington with bullet hole in
his head and one through his heart.
The discovery created considerable
excitement and in the evening Chief
of police Sine telephoned Capt. Mil
Ter to come to that place and bring
his bloodhounds in hope that the
murderer or murderers might be un
down. The dead man was found be-
fore noon and the scene of the MUIR
der was visited by many scores of
people during the day whose tramp
ing around made it impossible to
get a trail. The news of the murder
was spread by two Slavs who pro-
fessed to have seen two men walk
away on their approach, but when
taken to the place they were uncer-
tain just where or in what direction
the men went, About 10 o'clock
Capt. Miller and three other men
started for Warrington taking the
dogs and arrived there at o'clock
next morning and could not reach
the scene of the murder until "a
hours after it occurred. OF course
he knew it was useless to attempt
to do anything then and gave it up.
At Rivesville Capt. Miller and his
party met two men who acted in a
suspicious manner and who may
have been the culprits The same
men came to Morgantown Sunday
evening after dark and inquired for
a boarding house. They seemed to
have something secret to talk about
and tried to avoid meeting any one.
Where they went from here no one
knows. Rewards aggregating about
a Thousand dollars have been offered
for the apprehension of the villiarg.
The peddler was and Industrious,
respectable man whose tragic death
stirred the whole community. The
murderers got about 5000.

For Some time A. A. Rogers and
wife have not lived happily together
and the matter came to head a
few days ago by Mrs. Rogers suing
for divorce. The trouble arose
over the property on the North Side
that's in Mrs. Rogers name though
he claims to have invested as much
as she. They have six sons, two of
them well grown and four small
boys. Mr.. Rogers took the four
boys to Ohio on Sunday last where
he will leave them in the care of a
widowed sister. The oldest son will
remain with his mother and the sec
ond with his father The case has
not been heard yet, but it is gener-
ally considered that there is some
fault on both sides.

any press of any kind in the same
