SUSPICIONS OF A MURDER: One day last week, a Mrs. Koker, wife of a miner until lately in the employ ot Keith & Henry, at Rich Hill, came up to Butler with two little boys aged respectively two and seven years. She went before Juage Lefker, and stated that her husband had §mysteriously disapeared one week before, that she was lett with the children, who were her husband’s by a former wife, and being unable to provide for them was there tor the purpose ot turning them over to the county as paupers. Judge Lefker took charge of the little fellows, the youngest ot which had the whooping cough, and after giving them something to eat put them in charge of Mr. Endres, till he could secure places for them in private familes or send them to the poer tarm, prefering to do the form- er if possible. The Judge was suc- cessful in his efforts, and the oldest boy 1s now with Mr. Thos. Gault, of Osage township, whe proposes to adopt him, while the younger is in charge of Mrs. Tom Ellis, of that section ef the county. They will be well taken care of. The above story is not without its sensational sides. The tact ef Koker, the father of the children, having disappeared in somewhat of a myste- rious manner, lead to an investiga- tion which developed the fellowing facts: A young man, whose name fer reasons of our own we will not call, seperated frem his wife-in the west part of Bates county during last win- ter in which case a petition for di- vorce 1s now pending in our courts. Going to Rich Hill, he met and be- came enamored with Mrs. Koker. A propesition to elope or seperate from Koker and become his wife, was made by this love-struck wid- ower, but was rejected by the wo- so sne says. Finding that persuasion was uneffectual the wid- ower told Mrs. Koker, that he would man, RAGE BOYS. We know it is a little rough to compel you to ad- vertise to sell at such Oh!

We would therefore readly recom- mend that our County Court take jal, believeing the county will endorse Gentry WEst. and subtantial such a move.
