HENKE and Bertha TICE, from St. Louis, applied to our Recorder last Monday for marriage license.

A couple of weeks ago we published an item about the result in Arkansas of the lawsuit of Samuel A. REPPY versus John MATLOCK. Since then Mr. MATLOCK has suicided by taking morphine, and an effort was made to assassinate Mr. REPPY.
