A MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY

THE MURDER AND CREMATION OF THE
BoRUM FAMILY AT SHANNON, MISSISSIPPI
no CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS.
a special to the Chicago Inter Ocean. from
Jackson, Miss, the Sd inst. gives some
further particulars of terrible tragedy
mentioned by telegraph: \ letter nom
Lee county, just received, gives the par
ticula.s of the burning of the Borum
family, near Shannon, on the Mobile Il
Ohio railway, on Sunday last. The facts
developed since the news was first received
proved beyond a doubt that Borum, his
wife, two little children and a negro boy
were first murdered in their house and the
building then fired in half a dozen places.
On Saturday, Borum, who had just
received some 500, was in the
store OF Mr.. Whitesdes, OF Shannon,
and being asked by him tor loan of $500,
told Whitesides he would bring him the
money on the following Monday, and started
home, his home being mile and q halt west
of Shannon, his nearest neighbor living half a
mile from him. The next beard of him or his
family was that they had been murdered, and
their bodies burned by the robbers. When
/ the hrsL persons arrived at the scene they
found Borum's remains few feet from the
doorway, and part of his heart and liver in
one mass, some brains in the back part
OF the skull, together with one or two
molten bullets, and by these a pistol which
had been discharged, and Borums knife
open in the corner of the room where
the bed stood. The remains of Mrs. Borum
were found with those of her youngest child,
aged between two and three yeas, clasped
in her arms, and few feet distant were the.
bones of the eldest child, aged five years, and
near the fireplace was found the remains
of the negro boy. The presumption is that
the perpetrators of
THE HORRIBLE DEED
made some pretext on Sunday night to in
duce Borum to open the door, when they
rushed in on and shot them; that he fired
at them without effect, and then defended
himself with his knife, but WAS again shot,
and killed, and that after outraging Mrs..
Borum, she and the children, with
the negro boy, were butchered in
cold blood; and then, after locking
tine house, it was fired in different places,
and the murderers left locking the door and
carrying the key with them. Up to the
present time the whole affair ia wrapped in
mystery, as no clue has been found that will
leao to the discovery of the perpetrators.
except that some men were in Whitesides'
store and heard the request for money and
the reply by Mr.. Borum. Considerable ex-
element exists at Shannon and in the vicin-
ity, and should the murderers be found the
people would take the law into their own
hands
