WHAT THEY THINK OFTHE DAILY.


Jas. A. Smiser.
Nothing so indicates the progress
of a community as the publication of
a live newspaper, such as | know
the DAILY HERALD will be. The
possibilities for material advance
ment Of our county at present are
far larger than they have ever been,
if we, the citizens, are only willing
to do our part; and there is no more
valuable acquisition to attain that
prosperity than the publication of a
live daily newspaper in our midst
that will publish to the world our
valuable resources of wealth and ex-
pansion in every material way. The
enterprise deserves the hearty sup
port of our entire county and town
for by so doing every one will not
only do that which will build up his
county, but he will also put money
in his own pocket.

Seven Times in Fifteen Yaers.

A Mexican woman, the Sonora Ray
Castillo, certainly holds the palm for
supremacy in the number of her real,
genuine widowhoods. She has worn
the weeds seven times between 1880
and 1895. SO widely different have
been the causes of death by which her
seven spouscs quilted this wicked world,
yet SO similar in the violence thereof,
it would almost seem that the fair
senOra was somewhat of "hOOdOo"
to the genus husband. Her first hus-
band fell out of a carriage, her second
took poison by accident. the third
pcrished by Il mining accident, the
fourth shot himself, the fifth was killed
while hunting, the sixth met his death
by dropping from Il scaftOlding, and
the seventh was drowned. AS the

TO obtain the consent of the father to
have the girls body eXhumed, arrived
here last night from Ashley to hold
. conference with States Attorney Vernon
as to their future movements. New
comb was firm in his refusal to allow
the remains of his daughter to be re-
moved, and as he stood ready to
strengthen his refusal with a shotgun,
the officers decided to secure legal au-
thority compelling him to acquiesce.
The attorneys returned to this place
at 1890 o'clock this morning and were
Joined here by Coroners McIlwain and
Ludwig and Sheriff Cholmeyer and
Deputy Stroh. The officers went to
Ashley, at which place they secured
conveyances and were driven to the
graveyard in which the body of the
girl was buried. Newcomb was found
keeping his lonely vigil over the grave
of his daughter and as the officers ap-
preached he assumed threatening at
titude and prepared to resist. Sheriff
Cohlmeyer read to him the order of the
court, directed to Coroner McIlwain,
commanding him to hold an inquest
over the remains.
Newcombe long remained obdurate,
but finally consented to allow the Off
GERS to proceed with their work, after
demanding that his daughter in St.
Louis, Mrs. Johnson, would not be i'm
plicated should any evidence of crime
be revealed as the result of the autopsy
A jury composed of DR.. J. F. White,
foreman; Logan IinderS and j. M.
Mason was impaneled by Coroner Nc
Twain and the inquest proceeded. A
tent was pitched over the grave to shut
out the view of the hundreds of NOR
bidly curious country people and the
casket containing the body was taken
from the grave. The body was placed
upon an improvised operating table, an
examination of it was made by Coroners
Ludwig and McIlWain, assisted by DIR.
Houston of Richview. The examina-
ton was a thorough one and left no
doubt that the death of the unfortunate
girl was due to crime. The verdict of
the jury was to that effect.
While the inquest was in progress
Newcomb was under guard Of Sheriff
Cohlmeyer in a distant part of the
churchyard and was not allowed to go
near the grave, although he desired to
do so. A large crowd of neighbors and
acauaintances of the dead girl had been
| attracted to the scene, and during the
| examination stood about in little groups
| and discussed the probable finding OF
| the jury.
| The party of officers went to Ashley
| tonight and the st. Louis officers will
| return home in the morning. Circuit
| Attorney Eggers is of the opinion that
| he has a strong case against st
| Louis woman doctor, and upon his ar
I rival there will at once swear out a
warrant for her arrest. Frank Clay
| ton left Richville this morning before
| the arrival of the officers, and 1t is pre-
sumed that he has returned to st.
| Louis.
