A u ansas Monster.

A fearful story of brutality and inhu-
manity comes from Hodgeman county,
Kansas. A man named Sam Purple,
vicious character, some years ago mar
red refined aud beautiful lady named
Lowber. They never lived very happily
together, and Puppies viciousness cul-
minated Friday morning last in the
murder of part of his family and in his
own death at the hands Of an enraged
mob three days later. Friday morning
his wife arose as usual, and prepared
breakfast. She then went to awaken
her husband, which so enraged him
that he sprang from his bed, and, seizing
his revolver, shot his wife through the
body, killing her instantly. The infant,
which was but three weeks old, was next
fired at, with the same result. He next
shot and killed another of his children.
His sister-in law, Miss Lowber, was
then fired at, the ball passing through
the arm and lodging somewhere in the
shoulder. AS this emptied his revolver
he proceeded to load his shotgun in
order to complete the work. A slight
mistake in this was the only thing that
stopped the deadly proceedings. The
powder was poured into one barrel, and
by error the shot into the other. With
this he endeayored to blow of the head of
another child, but as there was nothing
except powder in the barrel the child's
face was only severely burned by the
explosion. A heavy blanket was seized
and wrapped around the suffering child
and this securely wrapped with heavy
wire, in the hope that he might accom-
plish by suffocation what lie had failed
in by LIE use Of The shotgun. The child
will recover, although iearfully distig-
ured about the face. the murderer then
mounted II horse aid started across the
field toward Marine with the avowed
purpose of numbering his wiie's father
aud mother. Before he could accomplish
this, however. the wounded young lady
had made her way to the village and
notified the inhabitants of what had
happened, and they had assembled for
resistance. Seeing that the plan was
frustrated, Purple hurried to Jetmore
and surrendered himself TO the authori-
ties, where he was placed in Jail, sur
rounded by heavy guard. Saturday
night mob of about 100 men went in
quietly to the Jail and demanded the
prisoner, who was delivered with little
ceremony. He was then taken back to
the scene of his crime and hanged to
tree. Only one member of the family
escaped serious injury, and that was the
murderer's little boy, who had hidden.

much ceremony in New York a couple

too stingy to stand the expense them
selves. In the meantime Liberty is
melancholy by day and enshrouded in

Mr.. FLICK may have conducted the
past campaign in a creditable manner,
but we think that his efforts to "rehy-

enough votes by recount to prevent
Mr.. Wilson from taking his honestly
won seat are not altogether worthy of
an honest and friendly contestant. 1t
is discreditable i'm the extreme.

That the jury system Of this country
utterly fails frequently as means of
obtaining justice is fact patent to all.
In the trial of the negro who is believed
to have murdered Lizzie Wilson at Roam.
oke some time since, the colored men on
the jury voted all the time against con-
viction, and the white men voted solidly
for conviction. The third trial of the
case has just closed, and though the evil
dence against the accused is very strong,
the jury was hung, being obstinately
divided on the color line.
