Horrible Tragedy In Missouri

CINcINNAT, o., March 15.---A
special from Howell county Missouri,
wild region beyond the reach of The
telegraph, gives the particulars OF q
terrible murder, but mentions no
names.
Two daughters of a man who had
lately received a pension OF $500,
which, he divided between them, were
left lone by him one night A
stranger came to the house and asked
for protection and lodging for the night
This they reluctantly yielded and they
retired up stairs to bed, leaving him
in room on the ground floor. In
the middle of the night he heard q
noise as if some one was strangling,
and with revolver he went up stairs
to ascertain the cause.
There he caught sight OF a man
leaving NE room who made slash
at him with a knife. He fired and
the man fell. He then rushed out and
made his way to the nearest house
where he found . woman sitting by
the fire. He told the facts and she
said "The man you have shot is my
husband and uncle to those girls whom
he went to rob-" The stranger hur-
ried to another house while it was
dark, and aroused the neighbors, they
returned with a posse. They found
the man who had been shot lying
dead with knife IN one hand and
$500 in the other, while the two
young women were also found dead
on the floor.
