A few days since this community was
itartkd by the announcement in the
: olurans of Tun BKB that there was
trong evidence of a number of graves in
ho potter's field having been robbed and
heir stolen bodies used for medical pur-
> oses.
Now comes n most blood curdling story
rom Illinois , and which deeply interests
ovoral citizens of some prominence in
, his stalo. For a week or moro past the
Chicago papers have boon filled with the
oporti of various grave robberies in
loighboring towns , and it was evident
, hat a regularly organized gong was en
gaged in desecrating the graves of do-
iarted friends.
Yesterday noon , while at the depot , a
BEK reporter mot Mr. E. II. McCon-
, ughy , a prominent lumber merchant oi
Stromsburg. this state , who related to us
the blood curdling story of his brother's
wrongs and Borrows.
The brother referred to is Mr. George
1. McOonaughy , a lumber merchant at
Osceola , this sUto.
A few yours since the McOonaughy
boys , Koto Graft , Newton J. Shinklo
and the writer of this sketch wore all
ichool-followfl and class-mates together
at Ilocholto , 111. At that time Shinklo
was quite a favorite with Miss Craft and
was considered deeply in love with her.
A short titno afterwards Shinklo entered -
torod the Cornell college and bocatno a
member of the Cornell college boat crow.
Ho visited England and there gained a
very un nviablo record by his throwing
the race in which his crow vras entered ,
and upon his return to this country ho
was shunned by all his former friends ,
Miss Craft with the rest.
Miss Craft was the daughter of J. B.
Craft , a boot and shoo dealer of Ilochollo ,
111. , and prior to her marriage was the
acknowledged belle of that placo.
About one year ago George Me-
Conaughy and Miss Craft were married
and moved to Oscoola , this stato.
A BttOKEM AND EMPTY COFFIN.
A few weeks ago Mr. McConaughy and
his wife loft their homo in Nebraska to
visit the old folks in Ilochollo. While
there the young wife became a mother ,
but her lifowont out with that of the
ild year , and Now Year's day she wan
buried in the cemetery at Rochollo. The
broken-hearted husband has made daily
, -iaits to the grave since the funeral , but
! t was not until Monday morning that
the appearance of the nowly-mado
mound excited his suspicion. There
were indications that the grave had boon
disturbed , and recollections of the Hoyt
case and Shinklo's alleged complicity in
* , hat affair flashed across his mind. Ho
.mpartod these suspicions to his father-
in-law , and the two began an investiga
tion. They discovered that the tools of
the graveyard sexton had boon disturbed
> y some unknown hand after the funeral
1 Mrs. McOonaughy , and that the grave
had bo n reopened , The coilln was
there , bul it was brdkort ? nd empty.
TOE TRAIC AND THE DISCOVEIIY.
Monday afternoon Mr. Craft and his
on-in-law visited Chicago and placed the
case in the hands of the Turtle agonoy.
The latter worked rapidly and effectively.
It was learned that a man answering the
description of young Waterman , ono of
; ho students under arrest , wont to Ro-
; hello Now Year's morning and returned
lo Chicago on the midnight train over the
Northwestern withalargo Saratoga trunk.
It was further learned that Shinklo wont
to Chicago from Rochelle the day follow
ing. Operatives traced the trunk from
the Northwestern depot to the Homeo
pathic college , and ( satisfied thomsolvct
that the trunk contained the missing
body. Wednesday Dr. Ransom Dexter ,
who attended Mrs. McConaughty during
her illnoss'accompaniod by Captain Tur
tle , called at the college and asked to ex.
aminoany "subjects" that might bo , oi :
hand.They were politely accorded the
privilcgo by the professors , and , as nn
ticipatcd , the body of young Mrs. Mo
Conaughty was found and identified , II
was the only "subject" there , but was
in a perfect otato of preservation. The
college faculty promptly agreed to make
all thoToparatiou possible in the aiFijr ,
u. jd expressed regret that it had occurred ,
The body , they said was purchased foi
$35 , January 2 , from parties unknown tc
them , but who gave the assurance thai
they had a perfect right to it. The fao <
ulty said further that it was the first sub
jecf , the college had received in aboul
iivo weeks , it hoped that the county com
missionoru would reconsider their stand
on iho question of pauper dead.

App&ronUy the dosopn ion of tin
grave occurred ovrly in. 1&o/ovoning o
New Year's day. It \ * ? . $ curious facl
that Shinklo wont to K/tycago the da ;
following in the s mo ear vrith tho'hiu
band of the dead woman. Mr. McCon
aughy having busiaoii which called bin
to that city.
Four men were tarostod by the officers
Shinkio , WatormautjCofleo and Wright
alias 1111 , for boinj ( implicated in tin
stealing ; of i Mrs. Mdyonaughy'a body , am
leverafo like tfobs in that locality
They are i now in full . in Sycamore , Til .
and Waterman nfculo a partial confoa
sion , and acknowledged that | ho gaiij
had stolen the body of a lady iiainci
Hoyt.
An attempt was made to work a furthe
confession from the boys , and Shinkl
was tackled with the following BUCCOSB :
"Mel Do you think 1 will say a word )
exclaimed Shinklo , haughtily , as h
truck his open hand with a novel lie ha
been rcadintj , "You think you can con
vict mo , oh ? Me , with Hush college am
the doctors of the universe at my back
No , sir , I will not say ono word , Xoi
dc what you can with mo , My attorney
have told me hqw to treat you follows
.The prisoner was reconvoyed to hi
cell , and , tilting his chair against tli
door-bars , ho sat down with his back t
the corridor , and began unaffectedly tread
road a Hash book which grouped , undc
iho title of "Poor Brandy , " n dozen c
more yarns about the dark side of life i
Paris.
Paris.Waterman
Waterman was then called into tli
private plllce and sounded. "Gontlemer
I hnvo told you gome things , " ho sidd , in
trembling tones of measured accent. 'I
1 would give n year of my life lo have
those words back within my bosom. Say
moro ? If I know it waa under penalty of
Iho most painful death I would not ay
mo word more. "
Mr. Cofibo WAS then called out and
said : "When the county board refused
, o allow the colleges their material from
, ho pauper dead , the demonstrators bean -
; an to look around for a supply from
jther sources. I WOB acquainted with
icmo of Iho college olllcors and know
that I could cot a good price for the ma-
borial I could furnish. Wright , who is
hero under the name of Hall , went in
with mo. It was our business to deliver
the bodies to tlio colleges rather than
csurroct , although ho did both. "
"Can you name some of the graveyards
.hat have boon ravished ? " asked tlio now
detective.
"Yes , a few , " the ghoul replied.
'Several ' bodies have boon taken from
LnQrango. The graveyards along down
the lake have sufTorod. Wo have got
lovoral from around here , and Joliet has
icon tackled for two. "
"NVoro you o party to those cases ? "
"I know that they were goinn on. I
wont down to Joliet ono night. Wo had
many things in our favor , but the trip
did not 'pan out * as well as wo expected.
The night was dark and the ground
worked well. Wo 'crushed' eight coffins
tnd 'cracked' the vault , but wo got only
; wo bodies. "
"What became of the others ? "
"We could not work thorn. They had
boon dead too long. After wo had
crushed the boxes and sot our grappling
hooks on the bodies bad luck began.
In some cases the skin of the 'still'
would slip and the hooks come olF. "
"Then you failed to got any of the
bodies up ? "
"No , wo got two ono from a grave
; iid ono from the vault. Wo pullnd off
laveral arms and legs , and the ilosh
: rom ono face. When they came up
.hnt way it was , of course , no use to try
my further , for the bodies were rotten
.md would not sell. Wo would slip the
pieces back into the coflln and cover up
the hole in the gravo. "
TUB CITIZENS WIU > .
The pqpplo in Ilochollo nro fairly wild
and persona who have friends buried in
the comotoriol nro examining the
; raves closely to sea that their bodies are
till at rest in the bosom of mother earth.
Prominent citizens , men who had boon
known through their lifetime for quiet
dispositions , hold aloft their hands , the
fever of passion swelled their veins , and
their heated breath struck fury dumb as
they shouted. "Hang thomt" "To h 11
with such wretches , " "Thoydon't deserve
a trial , " "A rotten court would bo pol-
"utod by their presence , " and other like
expressions.
THE IlKAOTLY WHETCH.

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
She Protects Her Property With a
.Fiye Shooter Reyolyer ,
And Marches the "Would-bo Thief lethe
the Police Station nt Ita Muzzle.
While lingering around police head *
quarters about 2 o'clock yesterday ,
wo were allowed to witness a novel and
interesting sight.
A big , strapping follow , fully six feet
igh , with broad shoulders and heavy
ramo , came marching up the street with
is head hanging , and looking decidedly
ihocpish. Right behind him walked a
ttlo woman , of average height and slim
uild , but in her eye was a determined
ook , and what looked moro determined ,
was a five shooter revolver , which she
carried in her right hand , with the muz-
: lo in a direct line witlijtho big fellow's
toad. The gun was cocked and the pris-
nor know from the look in her eye , that
mis-stop meant leaden pills for him.
After the lady had turned her man
ivor to nn ofllcor , and had put away the
[ angcrous looking gun , and had begun
x > look moro pleasant , wo approached her
ind inquired what it all moant. She
laid that her name was Mrs. Martin , and
that her husband is employed in the
Union Pacific shops. That they room at
No. 205 Howard street. The young foi-
ow who was brought to grief came to the
loiiBo where the lady and her husband
com , yoatorday , and engaged board.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin do not board in the
liouso , and yesterday while Mrs. Martin
was absent at dinner the follow burst
pen the door between her room and the
thor part of iho ' liouao , and justas | ho was
upon his knees' in front of the bureau
Mrs Martin opened the door. The fol
low was startled and ho stated that ho
was looking for writing paper , and
asked _ the lady if she had any.
She said she had and approached the
bureau , opened a drawer , and before ho
was nwaro of her intentions , she had a
revolver leveled upon him , and ordered
him to forward march , and ho marchoi.
At the city jail ho was searched , and
, hrco revolvers and some cheap jewelry
was found. He is now behind the bars.
In the bureau drawer was last month's
wages of Mr. Martindrawnonly Wednes
day , and a considerable amount of jewelry -
olry , which vras saved by the prompt
action of Mrs. Martin.
Bho is entitled to the thanks of this on-
ire community for her pluck in bringing
.his . would-bo robber to the place wliora
ho justly belongs , the jail. If wo only
had moro women , yes if wo had more
men , in this city , tilled with the pluck
hat fills the frame of Mrs. Martin , a
item miqht bo put to some of this deviltry.
The only regret is that the cold did not
ontract her finger on the trigger so as ta
ause the discharge of the revolver.
