the National encampment to show cause
why he should not be granted trial by

DESPERATE MURDERERS.
Two Unprovoked Murders In Missouri One
of the Murderers Speedily Hanged by
Mob.

Two Unprovoked Murders in Missouri One
Of the Murderers Speedily Hanged by
Mob.
ODESSA, Mo-, Aug. 3o-A horrible
murder took place at Mayview, small
town seven miles east of this city, early
yesterday morning. The facts are about
as follows:
Will Waters, an eighteen-year-old col
ored boy, went to the store of Mr.. j. w.
Parker about four o'clock and he wantet
to buy some goods. Mr.. Parker opened
the front door. Just at this instance
another colored man passed the store
and inquired of Will the cause of his
early purchasing. He answered that he
was going to take in the Higginsville
fair.
About eight o'clock some one went
into the store to ascertain why Mr.. PARK
er did not show up and was horrified
to find him cold in death, with his throat
cut from ear to ear, besides deep cash
in the head and broken collar bone.
When the report was given out q
posse began a search and at this hour
the murderer has not been arrested. 1t
is the general impression that when the
rascal is found that he will be hanged
to the nearest limb, as Mr.. Parker was
a quiet and much respected gentleman.
The murder was evidently committed
with view of robbery, but nothing was
missed from the room.
In the pocket of vest of Mr.. Perkins
which hung on the wall was $50 in cur
l. - oo1r chalf c
some $40 or $50 in silver.
If there was any money in the drawer
the murderer took 1t, as the combina-
ton on the drawer was broken.
Later-The negro was found near
Mayview late last night and lynched
outright
He acknowledged the murder and pro-
duced corn knife with which the muir
der was committed.
MURDER AT HIGGINsvILLE.
HIGGINsvILLE, Mo-, Aug 30.-Higgins'
Vile had not calmed down from the ex-
citement created by the news of the
murder at Mayview when the town went
wild again over tho murder of A. S. Hig'
gins, of this place, by w. NJ Felts, also
of Higginsville.
Early last evening w. NJ. Felts went
to the hotel kept by A. S. Higgins, and
almost without warning stabbed him to
the heart. Felts then fed. Higgins
lived about forty minutes.
The murder was the result of quar-
rel that took place between the two al
the fair grounds here yesterday after
noon. Higgins was receiver of tickets
at the fair grounds and quarrel oc'
Cured between him and Felts which re-
suited in the cowardly murder of the
old gentleman.
Felts is an employe of Dooley & Son,
livery stable keepers of this city.
Captain Higgins is brother of Col
onel H. j. Higgins, the father of the
city. He was seventy-four years old
and we'll known and respected citizen
