We understand that a man named John Enyart, living near Robinson, was murdered Monday night. The wife of the murdered man says that about 12 o'clock on Tuesday night two men with dark cloth over their faces and bearing a dim light, entered the house and struck her husband in the face two or three times with some sharp pointed instrument but not killing him. After the men had left her husband attempted to leave the room but she says she made an effort to keep him inside in order to secure medical attention. He escaped, however, and was found dead the next morning in the corn field near by. There were some additional cuts on the back of the head and it is supposed that after leaving the house the assassins found him and completed their deadly work. A coroners inquest was held but we have not learned of the verdict. No arrests have been made as yet.

Mrs. Nancy A. Enyart, who was arrested on the 7th inst., charged with the killing of her husband, John Enyart, had her preliminary examination before Squire J.V. Leonard of Yell Township. The examination which was held at Robinson Monday and Tuesday resulted in Mrs. Enyart being held over to await the action of the grand jury. Constable Wilson lodged Mrs. Engart(sic) in jail here Tuesday night. Attorney J.B. Patterson represented the State. The crime for which the prisoner is held is the killing of of her husband. They lived alone in an out-of-the-way place between Osage and Illinois rivers. On Tuesday night, July 30th, 1895 John Enyart's head was chopped to pieces with an ax or hatchet. After being wounded he left the house and started in the direction of Robinson, going about 1/4 mile where he fell exhausted and died from loss of blood. What led to Mrs. Enyart being suspected of the crime was the peculiar way in which he was hacked about the head, showing that whoever did it lacked experience and strength. This coupled with some contradictory statements she had made as well as some threats and the fact that she and her husband had never gotten along together, was the cause of her being lodged in jail.
