FAMILY BUTcHERED.
An Insane Farmer Murders His Wife and
Children and Commits Suicide.

An insane fAfnier murders HIS Wite ana
Children and Commits snicide.
RTDGRwAg, Mo-, Dec 12.-The most
horrible human butchery ever recorded in
this section was committed five miles
southwest Of this city. David G. Spragg
in tit Of insanity, murdered his wife and
two children and mortally wounded his
two stepchildren with a butcher knife
then took his own life with rifle
The nearest neighbor Of the Spraggs
lived almost a milo distant, and It was
some time before the news of the crime
spread In a few hours numbers Of people
arrived from town, and an investigation
Of the scene was made. The most sicken-
ing sight met their gaze Evidences Of a
terrible struggle were plainly visible in
the Spragg house The walls, books stove
and furniture were spattered with blood
chairs were upset, the oil can overturned
and things generally turned upside down.
The particulars Of the butchery nre learn
ed from Dora Onstatt, a stepdaughter Of
Spragg. She Is a child Of ii years, and
after eluding her stepfather's murderous
grasp escaped TO a neighbours and gave the
alarm Her statement is that Spragg had
been complaining all morning Of an ach-
Ing head, and his nearest neighbor Mr..
Meyers, was sent TO Ridgeway for a ply
slcian Soon after Meyers departure
Spragg tied the hands of one child behind
him and deliberately cut his throat Mrs.
Spragg ran into the room at this point
and attempted TO interfere, when Spragq
made lunge at her She ran out into the
yard, around the house and then into Il
again, closely followed by Spragg
In the house he caught her, and des
perate struggle ensued. He literally hack
cd her head and face into slices, and theI
cutting her head almost from tho body
dragged her by the hair into the yard
Covered with blood and every minute be
coming more frenzied. the human monster
now returned to the house again TO con
tinue his work. Dora who was sick il
bed, had climbed out of window in thu
meantime and escaped.
When the people first began to arrive
they were deferred from entering b,
Spragg who stood in the doorway with ,
loaded shotgun. Finally Spragg lookes
the door, and it was then that he butcher
ed his stepchildren. just as the crows
was preparing to break into the house tw'
shots were heard, and when the door WA
finally forced open Spragg was dead, an,
the soene as described was presented t
view. The two stepchildren, who were still
alive, were cared for but cannot recover.

JAMESTOWN, N. ", Dec. ls.--Barnes
Greeley, the last surviving brother Of the
great Horace Greeley died at the old Gree
ley homestead in the town of Wayne Pa,
q few miles south Of this city He was SO
years of age and was described as tall, loose
jointed, shambling Of gait, with snowy
hair and beard, mild blue eyes, peaceful
visage and tongue that was the nearest
approach to perpetual motion Of anything
yet discovered. He had many ecoentrici-
ties, but was universally loved by his
.neighbors and those who knew him best.
In religious belief he was an ardent
Spiritualist and talked Of his departed
friends very much as if they were in q
neighboring town and would meet again
within a few days.
In many respects he resembled his illus
trious brother He was woll read on al
subjects and was the recognized authority
ON all disputed questions in his neighbor
hood up to within a short time before hii
death. He was very careless in his per
sonal habits Of dress, and in summer usual
~ went in his bare feet, and seldom ha5
on anything but the most IN fitting OLE
