Up to thy present taylor has not been
captured. A ma1) afoot carrying a shot
gun was seen near the Creek lyie east of
Arlington Wednesday. A coroneft in-
piest was held yesterday, at #hich sever
4facts were disci, sed as to the motive
for the deetl. flrs Taylor the wife of
the miscreant suited that the day befor
the killing she nnd her husbaud had hetn
in Mr Rhine's store ami when they re-
turned home he was angry and jealous of
Rhine and said that Rhine li£tl smiled
ami w.nked at her in the store. She de-
nied that lihiue had done or said ati>
thing improper; said that he always
smiled when greeting his customers and
friends ami that Taylor was unreasonable.
(Every one who knows Mr. Rhine will
remember his habit of smiling when
n-eeiim an acquaintance.) Taylor was
also jealous of Zaeh Robertson, a neigh-
bor living on an adjoining farm, Mr.
and Mrs Taylor were married Dec l Vh.
Mrs. Taylor was at the time the widow
of a man named Shephard who had been
killed by a well caving in on him a ftw
months previously. She lived ou a
school lease a mile and a quarter from
Wellston. Zaeh Robertson after her
husband's death was kind and neighbor-
^ to her and assisted her about the farm
work After her marriage to Taylor he
had not httpn arout^l theeplace Mr.
Rhine bad also feen ktnO to Mrs. Sliep
hard autl furnished her goods on cred't
Vfter the conversation with his wffe the
night betore Jhe killing referred to,
Taylor wens to the store ami made a
settlement yf his account there with Miss
Rhine, but did not pay it Some little
question arose over soiifet>f the items hut
the account was corrected to Taylor's1,
satisfaction. The night of the killing
lie told his wife he was goiug to kill
Rhine au^l Robertson ami he started five
different timas with his •gun. but she
managed to dissuade him and kept him
from going until the'last time when he
threatened to kill her also and started off
in a jealous rage. He returned home
after the killing We have heard differ
ent reports as to what he Raid &hen he
