Minnie Wallace Walkup, 80 well
known in this city, where she was
born, who was tried and acquitted
a number of years ago at EmpOria.
Kansas, for poisoning her husband,
has again suddenly appeared in a
sensational role at Chicago. Min
ME claims TO be the wife of mil
liOnaire named Ketcham, who died
last Saturday, and his short illness
and the manner OF his death cansetl
the coroner to mold a post mOrtem
examination. 1t is quite probable
that some New Orleans people re
siding in Chicago gave the author
tiles II tip concerning the career OF
Minnie and the mystery surround
ing the death OF her first husband.
but fortunately for her the post
mOrtem revealed the fact that her
second lord and master died of too
much club whisky. For the second
time Minnie fiIds herself II blush
ing widow with a fortune estimated
at S500,O0O, which she will iMme
diately proceed to ge: rid Of in her
own peculiar way, after which she
v ill no doubt infatuate and marry
some other old fool with money.

TREBUE GETTING ALL RIGHT.

He was Removed to His Home at Will
Jamestown on Wednesday.
James Trebue, who was mysteriously
assaulted and thrown upon the O. R..
r. tracks at Williamstown some weeks
ago, and who has been under the o. R..
r. physicians care at the Light House
in Parkersburg ever since, was taken
to Squire McKinney's home at Will
Jamestown Wednesday.
Young Trebue is improving rapidly.
His arm which was badly crushed will
not have to be amputated as at first
thought and the patient is gaining in
strength steadily. He was accompan-
led to Williamstown by his mother
who has been at his bedside ever since
the accident.
The case is a strange one and there
is considerable of a mystery surround
ing the accident or assault. That he
was assaulted and thrown upon or be-
side the track is believed by many and
there is pretty strong suspicion con-
cerning the cause that led up to it..
Trebue either cannot or will not re-
member anything about the matter
and so the mystery remains until such
time as he may be able to RENE EN- Der
the events of the night on which the
trouble occurred.
