BRUTAL BARIGAR.
He Commits Incest with His
Daughter, and a Child
is Born.
The Young Victim Tells Her Story,
Showing Her Father to
be q Beast.

From a commercial tourist for q Gin
CHM All house a BAzoo reporter learned,
yesterday, of the terrible wrong perpetrated
upon daughter by her unnatural father,
who is certainly lower than a brute.
The tourist was at arihage on Satur-
day night last, and stopped at one of the
hotels there. Being weary, ne retired
early, leaving the door Of his room open,
SO that he might get an occasional breath
of fresh air. He had been in his room but
q few minutes when his attention was at
tracied to young woman, who stepped
within the doorway, carrying wee babe
in her arms. On asking what she wished,
she said she was about to be elected from
the house because she was unable to pay
her bill, which amounted to $3.50. Taking
compassion on her, the BAZOO's In.
formant handed her the sum designated
above, and then. by dint of much persua-
sion, learned her sad history, " hich is about
as follows:
"My name is Annie Barigar, and my
fathers name is David Barigar. / was
born in Canada, and am sixteen years old.
My mother died when was three years old,
and my father brought me to the United
States, and we stopped on a farm near
Crrstline, nine miles from Columbus, Kan
sas. When was twelve years old
my father compelled 10 CO.
habit with him, and kept it up for a year.
when We removed to Ozark, Mo, where
father again married. Fer three years he
did not modest me, and was very devoted to
nay step-mother. Last August we left
Ozark and started for Southwest City,
Ark where father intended locating. We
travelled in wagons, and on the road there,
while my step-mother was in a wagon by
herself, father again compelled me to sub
NIT to his desires. begged him to spare
me, but to no Purpose. AS a result. be-
came in an interesting condition, and the
boy now have in my arms is my fathers
child.
"When my step mother learned OF my
condition she asked the name of my
sedu.er, and wien / told her, she said 1T
was a lie.' My father denied that be had
ever been intimate with me, and was
cruelty cast from home. started out in
the world, neither knowing nor earring
whittier l went. Some days ago my child
was born, and l am nov on
my way to Parsons, Kansas, where
l have an uncle who will probably care for
me until / am strong enough to work. l
have now told you my story, and as God is
my Judge every word Of it is true"
The Azoo's informant said the young
lady was remarkably handsome, although
quite illiterAle. Her father is a man near
~ fifty years If age, and owns considerable
land in Southwest Missouri, and in addi-
ton has 500 head of cattle in Arkansas.
The girls history wss made known to sew.
eral guests of hotel, and in brief Pc
riod enough money had been raised to car
~ her to Oswego, from which point she
said she would get to Paisuns il she had to
walk.
The case is almost too disgusting to con-
and If the girls story is true, as
the BAzOo's informant believes it TO BE-, the
beast of father should be dangling from
the uppermost limb of an oak tree instead
OF concentrating any community with his
presence.
