Leabo, a respected young farmer of Walnut township, married Miss El- la Yoakum whose parents then re- sided in Butler. The newly married couple moved on to a farm near where is now located the new city of Walnut. Those who new the do- mestic relations of the family best say Mr. and Mrs. Leabo did not al- ways get along peaceably. From the same parties information is also giv- en that Mrs. Leabo was subject to fits of insanity. ever sus- pected, however, that the ladv_ con- templated so rash an act as to com- mit suicide.” At all events she found 1n the well at the family resi- dence last Friday morning drowned. The circumstances are told by husband, and sustained by his No one her peo- ple living close by, about as follows: About ro o’clock last Friday morning, Mr. Leabo states, his wite into light arese fram her bed and went the kitchen where there was a burning. He supposing she would return soon paid no attention to the matter for some minutes; but seeing that she did not return to the and hearing no noise in the kitchen. got up to look for her but found she had left the house. He then return- ed to his room and spent an hour or such a matter in quieting the baby, which he says was crying. He then dressed himself and looked about the | premises for his missing wife, final- ly going to his tather’s a short dis- | tance away, arroused them, and in company with his father went back to the house and continned the search Atter daylight they went to the well and there found a small vial and an apron. Suspecting that, possibly, the missing wife had drowned her- self while under temporary aberation ot mind, the nerghhors were called on and upon investigation found the | body of Mrs. Leabo in the well dressed in a single under garment, her gown having been left im the house. The above, as we said, is the story as told by the husband and sustained by others in the part they took in the search and discovery. But the pub- lic have different 1mpressions about the manner of Mr. Leabo’s death. Suspicion of foul play is e <pressed, especially since the discoyeries made | by examination of the body by phy- sicians indicate that death must have heen caused hetore it entered water. Bruises as if having b made by strong fingers are plain on the throat, sufficient, physicians s to have caused death. Under circumstances John T.
