OT. LOUIS, Jan. II, Ioo4.
Ed. FREE PREss-The weather has
again turned bitter cold and the hard
winter OF 81 will be long remember
el by the people OF this region.
There is much excitement in the city
to-day at the news of another double
murder which occurred last night at
Fenton, Missouri near st. Louis.
Mr. and Mrs. Bodecker or Bo
decker, young and newly married
couple, were found murdered in their
cottage, the bodies were literally cut
into pieces, and the instrument of
death, bloody Ak, is the only clue
left by the perpetrator of this terri
BILE deed. No one can imagine the
cause or purpose of the crime; hun
dreds of citizens aided by the detec-
tives and police of st. Louis, are
making search for tho murderers.
Emmett Jones, who was to have been
hanged here last Friday, received a
communication to Imprisonment; the
papers arrived just as the condemned
man was making his last preparations
for death.
The great annual Charity Ball took
place here last night and was most
brilliant and successful affair The
hard fight between the police and the
thieves continues The thieves are
holder and more desperate than ever,
but so are the police, and the "crooks"
are being captured by the dozen and
captured without mercy.
Mr.. Irving, the actor and his
dramatic consort," Miss Terry are
playing an engagement here this
week, seats are from two to FIVE dol
lars and no standing room left-and
il any one could view the vast throng
which makes the crowded audiences
of snobs, funkeys, and cultured "
ignoramuses that attend the theatre
nightly, he would not believe that
twelve thousand families were abso-
lutely destitute and starving in the
city.
The citizens have become thorough
ly aroused at the danger of the city
being destroyed by fire, and an ap-
preparation Of nearly half q million OF
of dollvrs will soon secure four more
engine houses, six fine steamers and
hose trucks of improved kind, and
over one hundred additional men.
