M.

The girl who was a very promising young lady was well thought of by everyone, and marri was engaged to be 1, but he threatened her life should she do so. Three weeks ago she gave birth toa child that now lives. After that horrible event Ward would let no one come to the house and kept his wife, the girl's mother, id several children from going out, being afraid they would cause his arrest. A son fifteen years old escaped about a week ago and came here to tell his uncle, but after he had start- ed to tell him stopped, remembering the threats to kill any ne that men- tioned it Friday. while Ward wes out of the house, a neighbor stepped in, found out what had happened and organ- ized a number of neighbors to mob Ward, but feari something unusu- al had happened, the fiend had es caped on the west bound Missouri Pacitie train, flagging it as it neared his house, and eseaped to Kansas.

Sam Levy. of Butler, was in the city yesterday, representing his city in the matter of gathering points relative toa system of waterworks, now agitating the citizens of our sister town. We trust the people of Butler will receive the right kind of a proposition and by unanimous con- sent secure what they should have long since had. A city the size of Butler can ill afford to get along without a reliable system of water- works. It will save them the neces- sary tax in downing the fire fiend, to say nothing of the general every day use in a private and publice way. Mr. Levy made a careful study of our system and the ordinances rela- tive thereto. The Review acknowl- edges a pleasant call. —R. H. Review.
