FOUND IN A WELL. The Bedy of Russe! Priee Taken from its Watery Grave After a Burial of Three Years. From the Nevada 3 ail. «There 1s something forthe Va?” said Nick Winston, Wednesday morning, as he steod looking into the street from our office window. ‘What is it?” “Some one dead. A coffin box is just being taken trom the ex- press wagon.”” As the Mail man looked frem the eftice windew the box was being lowered to the sidewalk. Evidently it contained the mortal remains of man; and no time was lost in repair- ing to the scene. Mr. J. L.. Lockwood of Harwood this county, was in charge of the casket, and he freely gave the reper- ter what information he had, from which the tellowing is written. The casket contained the rema:ns ot Russel Price, who mysteriously disappeared trom Humboldt, Kans three years anda half age. He had bees there some months and was en- gaged in the cellectior. business. The afternoen before he disappear. ed be had a conyersation with an of- ficer telling him that with his assist- ance he thought he could capture a netorieus character named Gates, tor whem there was a reward of $4,000. That night Price disap peared, and ne enc knew what be- came ef him. Abeut the same time or a few days later, twe er three eth- ermen dissappeared in the same mysterious manner. Law and order were almest com- plete strangers to Humboldt about that time, and but little was said by peace-loving people even theugh the law was being epenly defied. The officers themselves shuddered ‘trom fear of the gang of murderous threats that infested that sectien ceuntry. Those were trying times ; but later the marauding gang was broken up. Sevéral.of them were killed, and as many more of them new languish in side prison walls. So much for law and erder. Peace has again come tou troubled people, and justice again asserts her power at Hum- voldt. is cut- ot About six months age a newcomer to Humboldt was drawing water fiom a well when he noticed some- thing floating in the water. He ““fished’’ it out and teund it te be * hoot with a human foot inside. He took .t to a doctor, and told his sto- ry. The docter said it was out of reason tor the foot to float. In proof of his theory he hada tub of water brought in ard dropped the foot into it, when it sank. at ence to the bottom. The man contended that he found it floating in the water, and en his return home begaa drag the well Ina short time drew up the remains of a human be- ing, which were identifie 1] from the clothing and papers found m the pockets as the body of Russell Price. The skull had been fractured by a heavy blow, and a bullet hole was alsoin the skull. The body had deen sunk by ring stones to it. ‘The water was drawn from the well —a depth of 30 feet--and heavy timbers were to Vv found closely. fitted At aothing was thought of this, but now is believed by many that tt ot the inflicted few vears ago, are under across the bottom. = > bodies ot other victims murderous uscals that Humboldt this false Dering the three vears that the ody Tand in the well water was con- | tantly used from it. Price was a brother-in-law of Mr. | “ockwood. He was about 23 years ald, und previous to gomg to Kan- sas ved in St. Clair county.

In one ThousanJs of bottles view they are worth only what they will sell for, and this must be the rule of measurement to all who are forced to sell. . But in amother sense | their measured by the | amount they can be made to yield under fair cultivation, year by year. In the last five years thousands of acres ot rough land on the Missouri, Osage and Gasconade rivers and in the lower counties have been sold for $5 to $8 per acre to tle contrac- tors, who, after selling the tie timber alone on them at a profit ot $20 per acre, still hold the land for tuture sale. It is no uncommen thing dur- ing a good season ior amanto buy a small tract of land in Missouri and raise on it a crop that hali pays for it; and, indeed, sometimes a single corn crep willentirely pay for it, and the ewner gets a snug little farm year’s work ‘Two years socents and $1, have been given away to prove its extra- ordinary merit. Two doses will benefit. For all Blood disorders and Liver com- piaints use Marsh’s Golden Blood and Liver Tonic. It purifies the blood, in- worth is regulates the Kidneys and strengthens the system.
