Berehberding, at his home in Hudson township, while attempting to rob him, an account of which was given in last week’s Tives.

Prosecuting attorney Clark had a long talk with him and notified him that he was suspected of stealing a steer from the pasture of Loeb Bros, near Rich Hill and selling it to Mr. Proctor, the butch er, in Butler. This he defiantly de- nied and when identified by Mr. Proctor, still maintained his inno cence. Mr. Clark then said to him, “McGinnis, we know you stole the steer, but we are not holding you for that charge, but the more serious one of murdering old man Bercherd ing.” Then his nerve forsook him and he trembled violently and turn- ed deadly pale. He asked the other boys to go away so they could not hear what was said, and then told Mr. Clark that he did steal thesteer, he was willing to confess to that, but that he did not dq the other job. Sheriff Mudd and Mr. Clark took him to the Bercherding home where the widow identified his voice, his size, his feet and his ac- good look at his face.

Maynard, Sac- rifices Her Claims to Property for Freedom, On Saturday last im the circuit court of Kansas City a divorce was granted to Pearl Lafore from Ham- ill Lafore, an Indian living in the Indian Territory. The plaintiff was Miss Pearl Maynard, daughter of M. A. Maynard, formerly a merchant of City About four years ago Miss Maynard went to the Indian Terri- tory to act as bridesmaid for a friend. At the wedding she met Hamill Lafore. He was enamored of ber charms and for three years pressed his suit, going often to Kan- sas City to see her. About one year ago they were married, and the Indian blood in his veins developed shortly after in cruelty to his wife. She left him and after several inef- fectual attempts to live together they separated and she filed suit for divorcee. The Kansas City Times says: “One very interesting feature of this case is the fact that if Miss Maynurd had remained Mrs. Hemill Lafore until June 1 she would have received an allotment of land in the Choctaw nation ameunting to 550 acres. As the wife of a Choctaw she would have receiyed this land, under the Chactaw law. The land in that section is very valuable, and the 550 acres would be worth be tween $20,000 and $30,000.
