When the) HORRIBLE DISCOVERY. A Mystery in Southern Kansas—Three People Are Found Dead. Iedepeuderce, Kav., Jan. 1 —At 9 o'cl ck this morning the home of Geo. W) Read, wanager of the Long Bell Lumber company, was broken into by Al Brown, Mr Read's son- it daw, und suxpicious neighbors un- for the imyre:eivn tLat all was not right Tie dise very made was vy andicvolves the greatest my-tery kr own to Southern Kansas Mr. Read, cud only in his night clothes, sat in x ehair before a hot stove fed by »atural gas, his body in an advane-d stage of decomposi- tion. Miss Edith Scott, a domestic of the family, lay dead on the floor of her room. Mre. Read and her 5-year old sop were in bed, the boy in a dying condition and the mother unconscious. Mrs. Read may recover. Many theories are current as to the cause, one being asphyxiation, another accidental poisoning and an- other foul play. The fact that two gas stoves in the house were burn ing at full force practically explodes the theory of asphyxiation, and the tact that no bruises were found on either person renders the murder theory almost incredible, leaving accidental poisoning as the most probable cause- None of the family were seen later than Sunday evening, leaving no doubt whatever that Mr. Read and Mies Scott had been dead thirty six hours before discovered. Every room in the house was intensely hot aud there being no ventilation, the fumes from the badly decomposed body of Read was stifling. Mr Read came here twelve years ago from Shelbyville, Ky, and has figured conspicuously in politics during that time. He has served three times as alderman, and but re- cently retired from the chairmanship of the democratic central committee of Montgomery county. An autopsy was held on the dead bodies to-day. but nothing definite can be ascertained until analysis of the stomach been completed. The coroner will hold an inquest at 10 o'clock to morrow morning whieh }may solve the dreadful mystery. boriuty bas Going 1 Debt. unwise or 1uproper, debt is not nec essarily anevil.
