There are many men of national cele-

A BOYS AWFUL CRIME
One of His Victims Makes a Sensational
Ante Norton Statement.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Sept. IA
District Attorney Jeffries and JUS
tice James Echard have taken the
dying deposition of Mrs. Bernard
Loker in relation to the killing Of her
husband and fatal wounding of her
self by the 16-year-old son of Isaiah
Morris AT erich Hill in an isolated
district six miles distant in the hills.
Loker left Meyer when the big strike
began last summer and bought
farm at Rich Hill. There he has
been living with his wife Mary. They
had no children. Isaiah Morris was
their nearest neighbor, living half
mile away. The developments of
this afternoon show the tragedy in
strange light. Mike Morris, the son,
has been q quiet boy, frequently Wis
iting the Lockers and working on
their farm. Last Saturday he show
ed a revolver at the Loker place, and
on Monday he appeared again with
a gun and the pistol. Yesterday
afternoon he came again with the re,
volver. His behavior, as stated by
the now dying woman, was that of
an amiable boy-rustic and very
shy. Mrs. Loker left her house at
2 o'clock to gather some leaves for
bedding for pet COW. Loker and
the boy were at the house. She
brought in one load of leaves and
found them as she had left them,
While out the second time she heard
firing at the house, but thought lit
tie of it, as the lad often discharged
his firearms on the premises. But
when she approached the house she
saw Morris shoot her dog.
Angry, rather than alarmed, she
hurried mp, when the boy confronted
her, and at close range deliberately
shot her down, the bullet striking
her face and ranging down to her
neck, The boy then fled, and when
Mrs. Loker was able she walked to
the house. There she found her
husband dead The story that Nor
ris tried to burn the dead body, etc,
is not substantiated by her state
ment She says she then went to
the home of the young murderer and
informed the father of what had oc-
CURED. She is now at Morris house
and the officers returning from there
to night say that her injuries, aggra-
vsted by her exertions after the
shooting will doubtless prove fatal.
The hunt for the boy has been
sharp and persistent since the case
was reported to the authorities this
morning, but up to a late hour to-
night he has shown marvellous skill
in escaping capture. His people are
utterly at a loss to account for his
freak Of savagery. Mrs. Loker is OF
course unable to say whether any
robbery was attempted, as possible
solution of the mystery as to why
the lad should seek the lives of his
friends.

What kindergarten Instruction Is.

AS is well known Miss Emma For
dyce gives kindergarten instruction
to little folks at her home in this
place. Its importance and adapta-
bility to their needs is not under
stood by all and we quote what Prof
E. II. Long, superintendent Of the
Public Schools Of St. Louis says of
it in his last report; "Kindergart-
en- instruction should constitute the
beginning Of every educational sys-
TEN. The kindergarten recognizes
every phase of thought and human
activity. The insight and method
Of the kindergarten should prevail
in the grades of school work above
the kindergarten. When the kinder
garten aim and methods are fully
understood by the majority of teach
ers it will revolution ize our educa-
tional system, resul tirg in a much
broader and deeper education than
we now have"
