Young Wife Meant, However, to Kill Her Father and Step. mother. Carmi, Ill., July 27.—Mre. Ivy @rabtree, the 16-year-old daughter ao? Walter S Warthen, living near | Shis city, is under arrest, charged | with the murder, by arsenical poi- voning, of her brother, Floyd, 15 years old. The girl has made a full confes- gion to Sheriff Ackman of her guilt, tbat says that she intended to poison ber father and stepmother, and smeant no harmto her brother. Other members of the family were sickened Dy the poison placed in the coffee and@ on the cabbage which they had Jor dinner last Tuesday, but all are reeovering. Mrs. Orabtree herself says that she ate some of the cabbage, but anly enough to make her slightly sick, eo as to ward off suspicion. Revenge for wrongs supposed to; be imaginary was the motive of the! ‘young woman in attempting to de- | stroy the lives of her parents. The family of Mr. Warthen, con- | sisting of himself, wife, son and | Mrs. Crabtree, and Berry Carter, a neighbor, became very ill after eating | inner Tuesday at Warthen’s home, | about five miles northwest of Carmi. The symptoms were so alarming hat physicians were summoned. They found the yictims lying on the Sour of the house ina helpless somdition. The physicians worked | on their patients all night, discover- | ig evidences of arsenical poisoning. | Yesterday Floyd Warthen, the zen, grew much worse, and despite | the efforts of tbe physicians died at 34. o’clock last night. The others are now thought to be out of danger, sithough quite ill. | The daughter, Mrs. Crabtree, was not very sick. She said that she had mot eaten very much of the cabbage zerved at dinner, as it tasted rather | strong and she did not like it. Sheriff Ackman went out to the aeighborhood twice yesterday te maze an investigation. This morn- img he stopped at the residence of Alonzo Dixon. He sent for Mrs. Grabtree. A bex of rough on rats and a package of arsenic had heen found im the clock. Some of the poison avidently had been recently taken oat. Neighbors recalled, it is said, that the daughter had uttered Sbreats against her father, saying shat she would “get even” with him, even if she had to kill herself to do it. By adroit questioning Sheriff Ack- saan elicited frem Mrs. Crabtree a fell confession of the crime. Ske imtended. she said, to kill her father | | and stepmother. Mrs. Crabtree is little more than a child. She was married ever a | year ago to George Crabtree, but | they separated about three months | ago. She is the mother of a baby | about four months old. The father | bas the child ia his possession. Mrs. Crabtree shows considerable deeling over the death ef her brother | and says that she did not mean to} ¥ill him. She says that her father objected to her visits to see her child. Mrs. €rabtree confessed to having put rough on rats im the coffee andjafter- poured the poison over the cabbage. She is said to be a quiek-tempered ‘xcman and to have threatened to end her life several times since her separation from her husband. Walter Warthen is a highly re- spectable man and is said to have treated his daughter kindly. The daughter,by her own confes- sion, attempted to poison her mother in-law onZanother occassion in the same manner. In a front room of a log house of small dimensions lay three of the girl’s victims, the father and step mother on one bed and on a couch on the floor old Mr. Carter who is struggling for life. In an adjoining room is the silent form of young Floyd a victim of his own sister's plot to kill. Fight With Escaped Prisoner. Independence, Kan, July 27.—A | fierce fight is reported to have oc | curred in the Wichita mountains in the Indian Territory between Sheriff ; Morrison and two deputies and | Taylor Kirk and four of his follow- | ere, who recently escaped from the | Washita County jail. The outlaws were all well armed and when the | officers came upon them they at once opened fire. One desuty sheriff was | seriously wounded, while one outlaw was killed and two of the others, one of whom was Kirk, were wounded and captured. The other two es- , vaped.

Sedalia Sentinel, A ramarkable coincidence is noted in the deaths of Tennessee Breeden and wife, who were laid to rest the past week, side by side, in the Wal- nut Branch cemetery, five miles south of Lamonte. Both of the same age and natives of the same state, they have lived together as man and wife for over sixty years and at the termination of their long and honorable career, ex- Fired of the same disease on the same day of the week and at exactly the same hour and minute. The wife preceded the husband to the grave just one week. 2 For over 52 years they have been members in full standing of the Baptist church and their funerals were preached by Rev. Hayworth of that denomina- tion. Give The Children a Drink called Grain-O, It is delicious, appetizing, nourishing food arink to take the place of coffee.

San Francisco, July 27.—The na- tives of the Island of Kusale, in the Carolines, want to be annexed to the United States The King, high chiefs and prominent men to the number of 72 hava forwarded a peti- tion to that effect to San Francisco, with the request that it be forward- ed tothe President. They say not a word about the Spanish or Amert cans, but simply asked to be taken under ths folds of the stars and stripes. The petition was for- warded to day to the President. When the barkentine Ruth arrived from the islands about a month ago she brought news that the Germans were trying to secure a foothold on the islands and the natives were pre- paring to resist them. Now that Germany has purchased the group from Spaio she will at once take po- possession and they may be a war on Kusale similar to that in the {Philp- pines. The petition of the;Kusalers has arrived too late. It Will Care You While You Wait.

Y, July 26.—No stranger funeral ever occurred in| Datchess county than was planned; for Mrs. George S.

Then this strange coffin will be locked and a heavy flagstone will be cemented fast overthe open- ing. bricked and cemented, and no earth will be permitted to touch either the body or the box, and after it is all ever Mr. Norton will place the key of the casket where it will never be found, he says, but the precise dis- position of it he refuses to make public. Mrs. Norton, who was 67 years old, died from heart disease yester- day. Her end was sudden, but came as no surprise, for she had suffered from her ailment for several years, and the dropsy accompanying it had caused her body to swell to enor mous proportions, although when in comparative health she weighed more than 200 pounds. The box will resemble to some ex- tent the packing case of an upright piano. It will be thirty inehes wide, fifty inches long across the base, and fifty-one inches high, these dimen- sions being the result of a eareful measurement of the body as it sits in the chair.

It is said that the copper coins of and creditors received 45 per cent of their claims. There was nothing for the heirs. We Make a long Story Short.
