Looks Like Murder.

A dispatch from Memphis says: The police are in receipt of informa- ton from Laconia, Ark, which indi- oates the robbery of a trading boat and a house boat found tcnantless in the Mississippi river at that point, and the possible murder of the former occupants. The boat had been stripped clean except a few tools and a small quantity of groceries? The only things found that could give clue to the identity of their former tcpants were a photograph of the boat with pictures of three men two women and a baby and some papers in box referring to NJ. F. Nogus. As the boats are of considerable value it is not thought possible they were abandoned by the owners.
