ry Curry, was called last week from
IA visit with relatives in this city to
her home at Altheimer. Ark, by a
telegram announcing that her hus-
band had been murdered. Accounts
received later are that Mr.. Roberts
was maliciously shot by his brother
Monroe Roberts, while at work on
his farm. The brothers had been at
variance some time, on account of
property division, and the shooting
resulted from it. Local papers re-
port that the deceased was an indus
trious honored citizen. A coroner's
jury brought in verdict of unjusti-
fable murder, and Monroe Roberts,
who did the shooting, is in Jail TO
await trial for the crime.
We are in receipt of the Messen-
ger, u college paper published by the
Metropolitan Business College of
Chicago, announcing the Fall Term
which opens September 3rd. We
notice that the prospects are good
for n largely increased attendance
this year, and Principal Powers has
made arrangements to accommodate
one hundred more students. Special
arrangements have also been pro-
vided for boarding students from a
distance at very reasonable rates.
We think this is a good time for our
young people to take such course
and we advise all who can, to write
to the college and make plans to en-
ter soon.
w. Stude, who has purchased
the Globe Hotel and will soon take
possession of it, has already begun
placing new furniture in the house,
and it goes without saying that if a
well furnished house and genial
landlord have anything to do with
running modern hotel, Will will be
strictly in it. He claims Oct. 2 as the
date of his sale which will be one of
the largest ever held in this county.
There is large amount of good
stock and first-class machinery and
large quantity of grain. Further
notice will be given later.
