SaQ Fate OF a Kansas Farmer and His Wife
aud Mother.
HOPE, Kan, Feb. .i5-Henry Butler
and his wife and aged mother. living
in humble home in Marion county,
have beyond doubt been murdered by
unknown persons who will probably
never be captured
farmer 60 years of age, and his wife
and aged mother were seen at work,
but after that day no one noticed them.
No attention was paid to the matter.
however, as they were rather unsociaL
Saturday the little girl of neighbor
was sent to the house on an GRAND,
and. finding the front door locked and
receiving no response to knocks, peeped
in at the window and saw three persons
on two beds, apparently dead. She
gave the alarm and the neighbors at
once congregated at the house, broke
open the door and made CHASTITY find.
The two women were rot only dead,
but in an advanced stage of decompo-
sition- The man was still alive, but
unconscious and lived but a few hours
after being taken out
A jury was impaneled and after an
investigation it was decided that the
deaths resulted from asphyXiation from
coal gas
In the room was a cooking stove,
from which two lids had been lifted.
There was evidently a premeditated
arrangement Of the house. as every
thing was closed tight and the old peo-
pie were found in their beds
The house showed signs of having
been ransacked. and as it was supposed
that the people had considerable saw
ings laid away suspicious of foul play
are entertained. but owing to the
length of time which had elapsed there
are no means of securing track of the
murderers, though efforts are being
made to do SO.
The Buffers were peaceab1e and quiet
and no one was known to have any.
thing against them.
THE LATEST.
The latest theory in regard to the
mystery is that Butler, when his wife
and mother were asleep. himself took
the lids off the stove and then went to
sleep himself, hoping that the coal gas
wovld prevent him from ever waking
again. This is supported by the fac,
that the house doors were all locked
and the windows fastened They may
have been destitute and Butler desper
ate in consequence.

IT is said that the failure of the gen
