The Democratic row that is on in this county between Albert F. Wray and Senator Will Yarling is edging down rather in favor of Yarling. While Mr. Wray puts up a strong argument against Governor Ralston's opinion as to whether a vacancy exists on the Appellate court bench the friends of Senator Yarling come forward with the declaration that Senator Yarling has been a receptive candidate for the nomination for Lieutenant Governor since last January. At hat time he was much talked of as a candidate for Governor but this Senator Yarling did not encourage. There was also talk and a considerable amount of boosting in his direction for him to become a candidate for the Congressional nomination. Senator Yarling very wisely headed all that talk off. On the face of the returns this morning Senator Yarling has the edge on his Shelby county opponents. If he wants the nomination for Lieutenant Governor all he has to do is to tell Governor Ralston and Senator Thomas Taggart so and he will get it and it will be handed him on a sixteen to one silver platter. There is no question about that. Mr. Wray will not be seriously considered.Friday Afternoon, March 31, 1196[sic]

Shelby county Democrats understand well enough that there has been political animosity in the office of Wray & Campbell directed against Senator Yarling for a long time. In the last race ... [the article continues]

The Work Of Ghouls.
----------
The grave of Mrs. J. L. Babb has been robbed and by whom?
On the afternoon of December 24th last the mortal remains of Mrs.
J. L. Babb, who resided a mile and three-quarters southeast of this city,
were laid to rest in Union cemetery, where it was supposed she would await
the call of her redeemer on the morning of the resurrection. But alas!
Such repose for her remains was not to be, for as now proves to be the
case, some ghoul or ghouls in human form, ruthlessly and with sacrilegious hands,
tore the remains that had been so tenderly laid away, from the silent tomb
on the night after the funeral. As to who did the deed, it is quite certain that a stranger who had
been stopping here for several days, must have been one of the parties, but
who he was, where he came from or where he went is the mystery. He arrived in
the city on the Wednesday evening prior to the death and burial. He
arrived here just at night with a team hitched to a light spring wagon, in which
was what appeared to be a long box covered with a sheet, that was closely
stropped to the side of the vehicle, a spade and pick could be seen in the wagon.
He drove up to Wray's stable, where the hostler assisted him in unhitching
the horses and while leading them into the stable, one of them stepped
down off the sidewalk a distance of about eight inches. The man at once set up
a howl that the horse was lamed and damaged by the step and threatened suit
for damages. Mr. Wray claimed that the horse was not injured in the least
and offered to choose one arbitrator, the owner of the horse to choose
another, and they two the third and he would abide the decision. This man would not
accede but continued to stay. On Sunday, the day Mrs. Babb died, Mr. Wray
told him to take the team and leave and he would call the livery bill settled,
but he refused to budge an inch. On Monday, the day of the funeral Mr.
Wray again told him to take his team and leave, but he would do nothing
until after dinner, when he hitched his team to the wagon, and tied them to
a hitch rack near the barn until about three o'clock, when he drove
away. It is reported that he was seen in the cemetery the afternoon after
the funeral. It is now supposed that he was there taking bearings so he
could go in the night to the grave and steal the body without much trouble. It
is also reported that the stock freight which passes here mornings at 2:47,
and arrives at Tonganoxie about an hour later picked up a long box at that
station and shortly after daylight Christmas morning the wagon that
had been here was seen backing out of a livery stable in Tonganoxie, and after
the team was hitched up was driven away, since which time no trace of it
has been found. There is rumor current that a young doctor left here the same night
of the resurrection, but we give this as we hear it, whether true or false we
cannot say, but this we do know that the friends opened the grave and
found nothing but an empty coffin, the body of the loved wife and mother
having been taken away.[Jefferson Co, Kansas]

The employees of this office were the recipients, yesterday morning, of a basketful of edibles consisting of fruit and other delicacies, at the hands of Mr. Isom Wray, whose mansion was thrown open yesterday for the entertainment of his friends. All who called were hospitably entertained by the inmates, prominent among whom were the amiable hostess, Miss Jennie Wray, and her tow interesting friends, Misses Mattie and Sallie Houston. A tasteful monogram of "Wlecome" placed all callers at their ease; another significant one of "Grubb," bid all to "fall to and help themselves," and another, embodying the figures "1-8-7-8," indicated that 1877, no longer the living present,
