MURDERED AND BURNED.


4 wealthy and Resuseted Citizen Robbed
and Cremated n HIS Dwelling.
SPRIxGFIELB. Mo-, Jan 2O--About
ten o'clock Friday night the nefghbors
of Hugh B. Farmer, who live about
eight miles south of here, saw that his
house was on fire, and ON going to the
scene they found the entire building
l completely, cnveloped in flames The
house was built of logs. and looking
into the main room they saw Farmers
dead body burning to crisp. but all ef-
forts to take it from the burning build
ing were futile. and after the fire only
charred fragments remained.
For several wears past Farmer had had
num- Der of negro tenants on his place
some of whom he recently detected in
stealing from him and at once had them
leave his place. The first theory after
the fire was discovered was that a coal
oil lamp had exploded and burned
Farmer and his house, but later develop
| ments lead to the theory that some OF
| the thioving negroes murdered him for
his money, and on account of their i'll
! feeling set fire to the house to destroy
/ all evidences Of the crime
Farmer had two pet dogs and after the
| fire the bones of one of the animals
/ were taken from the smoldering en-
bers. The other was found on the place
alive with his hair saturated with coal
| OIL The dead man Friday purchased a
gallon of coal oil at little store near
his place and it is thought the murderers
| used this oil to fire the building and
poured it on the two dogs after they had
killed their master, but that one of them
| escaped from the house when the door
| was opened.
The terrible affair has caused intense
| excitement among the people of this To-
cality and no effort will be spared to un-
| ravel the mystery with which it is sur
! rounded.
| The unfortunate man was bachelor
| about sixty five years of age and lived
all alone. He came to this section from
| County Wicklow, Ireland, about thirty
years ago where he was educated for an
Episcopal minister. His family were
wealthy and aristocratic people, and be-
! canse they refused to permit him to
marry his mothers pretty housemaid,
| with whom he had fallen desperately in
love. it is said he became embittered
against them and left his native land
Soon after his sweetheart was welded
| to another. After he came to this
country he received a large sum of
money, part Of which he invested in the
fine farm of about 400 acres near this
city, on which he had lived as a recluse
for the past thirty years. He also pur-
chased real estate in other adjoining
counties and had considerable money
deposited in the Greene County bank at
this place.
The deceased had no relatives here so
far as can be learned and the heirs to his
property in all probability live in Ire
land. He was a highly cultivated man.
but was usually quite reticent and was
we'll read and posted on all current
matters. He was prominent leader in
the grange movement among the farm
ers several years ago and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
