Close on the heels of Saturday night's shooting followed another this morning. This last one was at the home of Judge Robinson, just west of town, and from our informa- tion involves a mystery which per- [Z| haps only time can solve. A. V.

She found a home as a domestic with the family of Judge Robinson, and has been there ever since. Hendricks, soon after her departure from his domicle came to town and through the columns of the Review warned the business of Rich Hill against trusting Mrs. H. on his ac. count. Since then nothing unusal has been heard of them till this morning and it was believed that their domestic difficulties would soon be adjusted. This morning men however, Hendricks was making a call on his wife at the place above mentioned, and at about the hour of 8 o'clock the report of a pistol was heard by Mrs. Robinson and others passing the house on the road. Hendricks fell to the ground arose and fell again.

Review. Shameful. it True. The appeal for aid which came from Stevens county last fall is still fresh in the public mind. It met with a hearty and generous response and supplies were forwarded to the suffering district, not only from all parts of Kansas, but from localities outside of the state. The circulars which set forth the destitution of the drouth stricken section were sent out by the county commisioners and apparently bore the stamp of highest authority. They stated that the disbursement of supplies would be conducted under the au- thority of the board, and the public was led to cherish the assurance that the aid which itextended would certainly fulfil a benevolent mission. It is now stated by United States Deputy Marshals Leatherman and Kirkpatrick. who have just complet- eda trip through No-Man’s-Land and Western Kansas, that a wicked and stupendous fraud has been per- petrated in Stevens county upon the people who responded to the call from that section for relief, and that the members of a joint stock com- pany former to take charge of the goods, after fillmg their smoke houses, graneries, cribs and cellars with provisions donated to them by charitable strangers, have sold large quantities to settlers on the Neutral Strip and have pocketed the pro- ceeds. The details of the disgrace- }ful affair are furnished to-day in} the telegraphic columns of the Star and if accurately stated they form a ‘chapter of villainy which has never been rivaled in Kansas.—Kansas City Star.
