A FATHERS DEED.
ST, LOUIS, January e0.-From Belar,
in Mercer County, Mo. comes the fol :
lowing story of depl orable tragedy
Henry Thomas, an old farmer, has four
| grown daughters, named Hattie, Mar
garet. Nancy and Jane, aged IL, IL, 20
and % years, respectively. Last We'd
nesday night. Samuel and Charles E.
Hasburn, brothers, procured ladder
| aRd helped Margaret and Jane out of
the second story window of their
| fathers house, and as they were about
to elope with the girls the old man ap-
peared on the scene, but to- late to
| prevent their escape. He at onca pro-
| cured the best horse he had and shot
gun and started IN pursuit. When about
twelve miles from his home he overlook
the fleeing party. He Immediately
opened fire on them,
KILLING BOTH BOYS
and fatally woundlng Margaret. After
getting nearly home with the girls, he
was told that the other two, Hattie al d
Nancy. had also eloped with Ned Gea-
son and Thomas Allison. He at once
left the girls he had with him in charge
of some neighbors and started after the
others. After securing the other two
girls without any serious trouble, he
started back, but when about two miles
from home q mob took possession of
him, and strung him mp to tree. The
old mal was terribly strict with the
girls. He would barely let them out of
his sight, hence the elopement. He
always Dragged that he would not be
bothered with lazy sonin law. Put-
lie feeling is strongly IN favor of III
lynching. Margaret died last night.
FIGHT WITH LYNCHERs.
A For! Worth, Texas. dispatch re-
ceived late last night says: Sheriff
Richardson, of this county. received
telephone message at midnight from
Graham, in Young County, to the eff
feet that about 10 O'Clock last night
while the deputy United States marshal
with o posse of Graham citizens was
escorting the four NARROW brothers,
Buck Hart and another man named
Pierce Parker, to the county Jail at
Weatherford, the prisoners being in
dicted for four murders and eight cases
OF horse theft, q mob of thirty citizens
attempted to lynch them. The mar
shall and posse defended the prisoners,
when terrible fight took place. Mar

then
FIRED INTO THE HACKS
from each side of the road Ephraim,
ALT NARROW and Sam Creswell, one of
the guards, were killed instantly. Bruce
Wheeler and Frank Parmison, of the
mod. were killed at the first volley of
the guards, while Marshal Johnson and

ESCAPED IN ONE OF THE HACKS,
Both the Marlows who escaped and
Buckhart were wounded. and were
forced to stay at a farm house fourteen
miles from Graham. Officers have gone
to arrest them, and it is thought the |
wounds are too serious to permit of |
their escape. A large posse has been |
made up at Graham, and are ia pur-
suit of the fugitives and members
of the mob. Report says the excite
ment at Graham is at fever heat. II
appears that this affair was the seat ell
to another that occurred on Friday
night. Boone NARROW. one of the four
brothers mentioned, all of whom were
in bad repute and accused Of various
theftS, killed Sheriff Wallace, of Young
County on the 18th of last December.
while the latter was attempting to ar
rest him. MARROW escaped, but his
brothers were arrested as accessories.
Later they broke Jail but were, captured,
and Friday night mob of about thirty
meu attacked the Jail with the purpose
of lynchiug them. The mob failed,
however, and last Saturday the prison
ers, under strong guard, were started
from Weatherford for safe keeping. 1t
was while this party was en- route that
they were attacked, with the above
result.
