Last Thursday night a goodly
sized audience assembled at the
Armory hall to greet the comedy
play entitled, "The Elopement

LaPierre, Macom, Randol. Misses
Kurre, Williams and Mrs. Ruby
Wolter were excellent and each
one aquitted themselves in great
st le.
Friday night the Armory hall
was crowded to Its doors. The

of the letter which was left by
Martin Rollins, slayer of Annie
Austin. The letter was written
on a yellow paper bag, an old
menu card from the dining car
of the Frisco, and two shipping
tags from some firm in Blyth
ville: "I heard sweet Annie singing
last night, and I can't stay here,
and Annie gone. Mrs. " Austin
was the cause of it. Annie put
her hand on my shouHer when
I shot her and said shoot. They
never would have caught me.
I was in Blythville yesterday,
and took dinner there. I am
ready to die. I stayed all night
one mile from Denton and went
back to Holland and got dinner
there. And crossed the ditch in
a boat and came over to New
berry Gibson's and stayed till
night. Mr. Maxwell, don't
think hard of me for taking
your gun off. I like you all fine,
so by by. Martin Rollins
' "Annie told me to shoot her.
Said she wanted to die, and I
guess she did. All I ask is to
send me home. J. J. Rollins is
my father's name, Wickliffe,

I ain't sorry that I killed An

shoot and hit her in the heart.
