SHOCKING Tragedy.
An insane Mother Destroys Her FC
ChiIfl-eD and HarsaIf

An Insane Mother Destroys Her Four
Children and Herself.
OMAHA, Neb., May 26.-Mrs. A. Pc
terson, the wife of farmer near Har-
Ian, Ia, and her four children were
fSuni dead yesterday in their cellar.
Thcy had evidently been dead three or
four ;ays and the mother had hanged
them, one after the other. First the
searchers found the little girl, aged 4,
with her toes touching the ground;
then her sister, aged 10, hanging near
her: boy of Q, with one foot touching
a wash tub, on which he mad stood, ana
his brother, aged 10, 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 deliberately with ropes
attached to spikes driven into the tim
bers or put through holes bored for
them.
The mother evidently stood the chill
dren on the wash tub and pulled the
tub from beneath them, and as they
choked to have hanged herself. The
appearance of the younger children in
dicated violent struggle for life. The
father had recently been committed tc
an insane asylum.
The wife left letter asking that
S163, which she had in bank and in the
house, be used for funeral expenses.
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
been hanging since last Wednesday.
