""" Elgin was startled and sbocksd a week ago last Saturday afternoon by tbe nfews of the murder of Mrs. Fred Buck by her husband. She had been calling on the neighbors and went home the latter part o that afternoon to find her husband in the house. There la no way of learning what took place next, as none of the neighbors heard any outcry, but it seems probable that with no warning he shot her our times. Any one of the shots would have proved fatal. He then went to the police headquarters, told what he had done and gave himself up to the police, remarking that he had killed his wife and that she had. been running around too much so he put a stop to it. He was locked op. The marshal and an officer examined the scene of the tragedy. An inquest was held wd the prisoner was committed to jail without bail to await the February tena of the grand jury. Shortly after dark a carriage was pro­ cured and Buck was taken to the county jail at Geneva. Jealousy seems to have been the canee, though the criminal sits sullen and silent in his cell, with his head in his hands and no one can induce him to talk of the matter but his father'and his attorney, J. A. Russell The murder­ ed woman was a sister of T. F. and Wm. Swan, and Ifcr mother, Mrs. Hannah Swan, knew of trouble between Mr. a»d Mrs. Buck. They ha<§ both been married before. The murderer is a son of I. N. Buck and his mother is prostrated with grief at tbe terrible deed. The murder is one of tbe most brutal crimes ever com­ mitted in Kane county. Owen officiating.
