John Slaughter, were in a room, with
several companions, where they had
spent the evening convivially. Banter
and chatting had followed beer drink.

considerable ridicule, on this as we'll

thst he remarked to a companion that
John was bigger than he was. but if
ne didn't quii tina; ne would infiict
marks on him that he would carry to

again to guy him, when he picked up
revolver that was lying on a table,

and exclaimed, 81 could blow your

made a grab for bis arm, and one
caught it, but not before the pistol
was discharged. The ball passed into

wounded man still fingers, the doctors
say he can not live. Reed was ar.
rested, but was afterwards released on

HANGED HER FOUR BABES
The Awful Act of an Insane
Mother at Harlan, la.

Omaha, May 25.-Mrs. A. Peter
son, the wife of farmer near Harlan
Ia, and her four children were found
dead yesterday in their cellar. They
had evidently been dead three or foul
days end the mother had harged tn m,
one after the other. First the search.
ers found the little girl, aged 4, with
her tees touching the ground; then
her sister, aged 10, hanging near her
a boy of 9, with one foot touching a
wash tub, on which he had stood, and
his brother, aged IL. suspended so
low that his feet almost touched the
ground. The mother, half smiling,
had hanged herself after dispatching
her children. All were neatly dressed
and the work had been done deIiber-
ately with ropes attached to spikes
driven into the timbers or put through
holes bored for them.
The mother evidently stood the
children on wash tub and pulled
the tub from beneath them, and as
they choked to have hanged herself.
The appearance of the younger child.
rem indicated violent struggle for
life. The father had recently been
committed to an insane asylum.
The wife left letter asking that
1858, which she had in bank and in
the house. be used for funeral expen-
ses. The letter also stated that the
farm was paid for and no claim could
be held against it.
1t is thought that the bodies had

brace.

Plattsburg, No., May 24.-The ex
element over the proposed abduction
of Miss Julia McMichael of this city,
has abated. Miss Mcdichsel has been
found in Chicago.
Mrs. McMichael, the mother, re-
ceived a letter this morning from ber
daughter in Chicago, stating she was
all right and would return home il
her mother would forgive her. 1t
seems from her letter and that of DR..
Jos. Grindon OF 501 Ware avenue,
ST. Louis, and of Mrs. Cherot of 291 1
Chestnut street, st. Louis, she must
be demented at times. Miss Nc
Michael is the only daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. McMicbael of this city, one
Of the Oldest and most respected
families. Mr.. McMichael is engaged
extensively in the real estate and
mining business in Bu=na Vista,
Colo, and two years ago took his
family there to live. and shortly after
his two oldest daughters died OH the
same day and were buried together.
This is supposed to have preyed upon
Miss Julia's mind. She is % years OF
age, five feet in height, and weighs
100 pounds, has gray eyes. and dark
hair, and is beautiful young woman,
Notwithstanding she imagines that she
is affected with some skin disease and
it seems to be that, and the loss of her
sisters, that worries her.
About two weeks ago her parents
concluded to send her TO a specialist
in St. Louis for treatment. DR.. Jos.
Grindon of st. Louis was selected by
Miss McMichael's parents and she
was sent there and engaged board at
Mrs. Cherot'+, 1914 Chestnut street.
After two visits, DR.. GrindOn wrote
to her parents and said there was very
little the matter with the young lady,
and that il was mt silly inauguration.
Last Friday week Miss McNlichael
wired her folks she was coming home
and to meet her at the depot. They
went, but the young woman did not |
come. Her mother then wired Mrs.
Cherot and the reply came that her
daughter had left the city. Mrs.
then wired DR.. Grindon and
bis reply was the same. She then
wired the doctor to put the case in the
hands OF the p lice, detectives of st.
Louis and Chicsgo.

For three days the body was held

woman was dead or only in q trance.
The undertaken went over to Middle
