He had been in feeble health tor | some time, and while his death was no surprise to his family, it was a great shock. Uncle Aus. was one of the first settlers in Bates county, and has raised a large tamily around him. He lived to a ripe old age, about 75 years when he died.

Friday mormng his wite arose as usual and prepared break- fast, then went to awaken her _ hus- band which so enraged him as to in- cite to the henious crime which soon followed. He sorang violently trom the bed, and seizing a revolver, shot his wife through the body, trom which she died at once. A new- born habe was next fired at with the same result. While this was going on, one of the children crawled un- der the bed and thus saved its hte. He next shot and killed another one of his children His sister-in-law, Miss Lowber was then selected and fired at, the ball passing through her and lodgeing some where in her shoulder. As this emptied his revol - ver, he proceeded to load a shotgun, in order to complete the work. Pow- der was poured into one barrel and shot into the other. With this he endevored to blow off the head of another child, but as nothing except powder was in the barrel the child's | face was only severely burned by the explosion. A heavy blanket was then se:zed aid the suffering child, securely wound around this wrapped with heavy wire, in the hope | that he might accomplish by suffoca- tion what he had failed in by the use of the shotgun. The child will re- cover although fearfully disfigured about the face. The demon then bridled a horse on which he mounted and started across a field toward Marino, with the avowed purpose of murdering his wife’s mother and fa— ther. Before he could accomplish the latter purpose the wounded lady had made her way to the village and notified the inhabitants of what had happened and they had congregated for resistance. Seeing his little game was ended, Purple hastened to Jet- more and surrendered himself to the authorities, where he was placed in jail, sourrounded by a heavy guard last nght. A mob ot about one hundred men went quietly to the jail and demanded the prisoner, who de- delivered with little ceremony. This morning he paid the penalty of his dark deed and was lying cold in death. Miss Lowber is still living, although her recovery is doubtful.
