' On the 20th of September, 1865, b just sixteen years ago, James Baxter k left Stoutne county, this State, with 'r his wife, intending to emigrate to It Louisiana. Some place along thebor- a der he fell in with a man who gave B his name, as aac Young, and who Y obtained perneion to join the Bax ters, as he claimed to be traveling in P1 the same direction they were going. Dn Young was about 30, very plausible, g and quickly ingratiated himself in the I good graces of Baxter and his wife. He confided4to his companions every- 2 thing regarding his financial resour- to cel *d future plans, and Baxter in th return. made a similar revelation. th Among other things he informed gE the young man that he had sold his wl farm for $2,00(, and that he had car- es ried the money in $20 gold pieceo, in tIo a belt strapped around his waist. th Some time after this the emigrants rit camped one night at a point between ou Dyke's Mill, La.,,and Magnolia, Ark.'. M: The spot selected"r a camp was at in, the head of a lonely glen, which was clh shaded on either side by tall pines, sti and thickly carpeted with luxuriant grass. A spring of left cold water gushed from a ledge of ru d t aoaoway down the glen and a nuialof Tallen la pine logs furnished ample material the for fuel. When a simple rpast was ly prepared and eaten, Baxter lit his wi pipe, and saying he wpuld returnsoon his strolled down the glen. gri Young and Mrs. Baxter remained wa seated by the blazing fire talking about Ur the incident of the day's travel. An mi hour passed. Baxter did not return. wa His wife grew uneasy and Young, to Ini quiet her fears, as he expressed it, a c started down the glen, saying he of would bring him back. The woman fi8 waited impatiently. One, two, three an! hours went by, yet neither appeared, tal Mrs: Baxter was now thoroughly ari frightened. She called loudly for his her husband, but received no response. ad; Only the echo of her own voice came jin back to her, borne on the night wind, ani which swept down the valley and wh through the tops of the' swaying trees. She ventured down the glen, trem bling, calling, listening: hut she neither heard or saw anything. Both car her husband and his conmpaniou had teol disappeared as complete~ly as if the De earth had suddenly opncied and swal- to lowed them up. the Almost distracted?, she ret Mted to Tl the camp, where she paced to and coi fro until the morning came; then boe mounting one of the horses, she hast ened to the nearest house; and soon dea bad a body of men scouring the coun- poi try in search of the missing zun. pra The search was continued neanl, a car week without finding so much as a for trace of ,ither Young or Baxter,when cor it was abandoned. The men engaged pul in it told Mrs. Baxter bluntly thatthe fIot affair was preconcerted between thd Id two men, and that her husband had ed heartlessly deserted her. The life bh so strangely bereft would not accept this theory. She insisted that her * husband had been murdered by Isaac in i Young; and that time would show rio1 that she was not mistaken. cra .{cting on this supposition she re- of* turned to her former home, andgath- sto ered all her available means, insti- nan toted a thorough search. She adver- eg tised, employed detectives, scattered sea landbils with accurate descriptions ren of her husband and Young; but all Jng to no purpose. Nothing came of it, sta' and the affair seemed a mystery dus which no human skill could unravel. * Years went by, and still 1ihe remained thri in her mountain home, hoping an praying for tidings of her missing tar husband-or even a clue that would 0en point to his fate. The suspense in and all these years has been trying. beii Since that memorable night she 00 had become an old womati. By the R sale of nearly all the eeafte which TLiv' ti~bdli0 :i tofjroua Iit~ `eraining tQ k _ tr e cononiy, fo ;lone in that l 'i tidings of the mat`W h linked her rte,, Last week's startling nes rea , that solitary woman in he it" retreat. It came in the sapof letter written onl st Jane iand oat= ed at [elbotrne, Australia. The writer said he had that dby. assisted to bury aman of the ate. of Saundrs; ibut whose paperwhi the wrlt had been charged to exam ine, showed he was Isaac Young,an American, and who odnfessed o. a horrible crime. Then followed aide tailed account of the night in the glen, sixteen years ago. It seems Ytoung had made up his mind to rob and c. murder Baxter trom the time he] learned that Baxter had $2000. He ,S. followed him quietly down the glen, stole upon him unawares, and struck 1865, him a blow with a stick of wood which ixter killed him instantly. To secure the ti with money and bury the body under some ; to loose earth and stone was the work of bor- a very few moment, and before Mrs. gave Basxter had started down the glen - who Young was miles away. 1 lax- He hastened to New Orleans, took" I in passage to Australia, changed his1 ing. name, and speculated with his ill ible, gotten gains. He prospered ama i the lingly, and, unlike the traditional vife. urderer, died undetected and. ery- :tealth$. He directed that Mrs. Bax- I or- ter be found, if living, and paid two = r in thousand dollars with interest from the date of the murder; andhe beg med ged her to forgive him. That was all his which the letter contained. But sub ear- sequent investigation p ed it to be , in true. Baxter's bones were found at I lst. the foot of the glen and decently bu tnts ried, and the Australian party turned CC een out to be Isaac Young, the murderer. - Lrk. Mrs. Baxter declined the money with Sat indignation, but she may yet con was clude to take it. The story is as res, strange as it is true. / Lant -- -. _ lter A Colorado Outlaw. rter ___ wl May Bert Wilkerson, a Colorado out- ecv lien law who was kindly assisted "6ver tf rial the range"by the vigilantes, was high- an vasI ly connected in Indiana, as well as - his with the limb fr6m which he made Don his last appearance in public. His grand-uncle was Joseph Wright, who P red was governor for several terms, then out United States Senator, and afterward A, An minister tBerlin. His grandfather Irn. was for n y years a member of the No to Indiana legislature. His father was it, a cousin of the Hon. James F. Harlan, - he of Iowa. Bert had for several years ian figuro4~ as a border bar-room hero, ree and ta nu or for which his life was B ed. taken was iton, brutal and cow hly ardly. When about to die, however, ca for his bravado proved trustworthy. He Mt se, adjusted the noose himself, remark- qu me ing, "Boys, I'll help you all I can," nd, and coolly kicked over the chair on md whiclh he stood. "'I Didu't II*ll Year Mother." dhe The Methodist Christian Advocate ca nth Icontains tho following: "A story is tad told about one of the members of the C the Detroit conference, which is too good - al- to keep. He was spending a day in the country, and was invited to dine. to They had chicken for dinner, ot *nd course, much to the grief of a Jittle ( ten boy in the household, who had lost ats -li favorite hen to provide for the B on least. After dinner prayer was pro. wi Co< in- posed, and while the preacher was La )n. praying a poor little lonesoule chicken E Sa came running under the house crying 2 a for its absent mother. The little boy 3 ten could restrain himself no longer. He red put his mouth down to a hole in the Ihe flooi, and shouted. 'Peepsy, peopsy, thd I didn't kill your mother. They kill- m, 'ad ed her for that big preacher's dinner.' ker ife 'e 'amen' was said very suddenly."
