The folVsing ilm we take from the
Onmha ?. :ftne !9th itwumL Th
aiuhor of the crim worked for sorno
weeks in the blair.-mith dtJpartmeM
of the Red Cloud carriage work in
this city, and was well known here:
"About a year ago there came to this
village a youngman named W. W.
Ferria, accompanied by his wife. Fer
ris engaged in blicksmithing at Hol
land's shop, and both boarded at the
Commercial hotel. When Tobias was
platteJ Ferris, aided by some friends
here, started a blacksmithhop at that
place Rndmoved his family there.
Ferris took lo drink occasionally, and
was jealous of his wife an, if stories
were true, not without cause. Matters
grew worse and worse and a separa
tion occurred, which resulted in Fer
risleaving Tobias'andjsuing his wife
for divorce. He returned to friend and
engaged in blacksmithingwith Martin
Holland.
For some days past Ferris has been
moody, and on yesterday was dri nking
quite heavily. At .about 7:30 in""the
evening he hired a team at one of the
livery atablcs, and started for Tobias,
some 19 miles disumt, which he drove
in one hour and a half.farriving there
at 9 o'clock. Arriving at the place
where his wife boarded, he remarked,
"a pleasant evening," and then re
quested that she step to the door, that
he wished to speak to her. No sooner
had she done this than he placed a
revolver to her head - and fired. He
then placed tho weapon to his temple
and in an instant was a corpse. The
ball was from a forty-four calibre re
volver, and entered the woman's fore
head nearly in the center. Sho lived
about an hour and a half. Ferris was
a little more successful in his own
cases; Placing the pistol to his right
templcjic died almost instantly. Re
port says that Ferris was a hard drink
or and abused his wife, and on th'o
other hand the woman was not noted
for chastity and Ferris grew jealous
and sought to drown his troubles in
drink, which terminated in the trage
dy enacted last evening. Coroner F.
E. Boot has been sent for, and an in
quest will be held to-day.
Little Dan etUl MiMlng-Where is Charlie
Kow?
Little Dan Wagonor's whereabouts
are still a mystery, notwitstanding the
thorough search that has been made in
the vicinity of his grand parents' resi
dence on Penny Creek by our citizens.
Theories whose name is legions, have
been advanced. The searchon Sun
day was as thorough as possible, but
certain parties claimed to have smell
ed peculiar odors in a particular local
ity n the premi ses , and afterwards
hints were openly made and also ap
peared 111 Jprint that the search had
not bewi as thorough as it should have
been. Howovcr on tho next day in
order to satisfy themselves and others
a party of neighbors made a still furth
er search in the odoriferous region,
and found a dead snake and a buzzard's
nest which fully accounted for the
odors noticed on Sunday. Tho camp
ers mentioned in a former issue of Tub
Ciuek have.lit out, and tho whole af
fair is as'mysterious as ever.
