AWFUL IN EVERY DETAIL
4 Whole Family II Missouri Brulally
Murdered.
THEIR BRAINS BEATEN OUT
Ono OF the Most Shocking and Dia-
bol cal Deeds ever Perpe-
trated BY Fiends In HUI
man Form.

BROWNING, Mo, Nav il.-Gus Meeks,
his vile and four children were found
murdered IN a Held last evening. Tie
murdercrs are uador arrest aud a lynch
in: will probably occur. Maeks and fam
ily lived in Milan ard when coming here
yesterday we're waylad. This cause Of the
crime is sad To be tho fact that Meeks
was a damaging witness in reccn: suit.
W. p. Taylor. Gus Meeks and others
bad been indicted on charge, of forgery,
arson and larceny. Aceks pleaded guilty
al the last term of court and was sem
tenccd to the penitentiary. About
month ago he was parinnei so the state
could usc him as witness. IL Is said
Taylor had arranged with Meeks to give
him wagon to get out Of the country be-
fore the trial OF Taylor came up. II ap-
pears Meeks received letter yesterday
from Taylor TO he ready to go away at 10
o'clock last night.
AT midnight, two men, said TO be George
and Bill Taylor, came 10 the house with a
wagon, Meeks aud family got in tho
wagon and started for Browning. Tho
details of the crime. as near rs can be OBJ
tanned, were told by the little 7-year-old
girl. who was suffering greatly as she re-
| cited the story.
II appears that when the Mecks family
! and tho persons accompanying them
reached a point near tho school house, u
short distance from Browning, they were
met by two other men who were lying In
wait. Gus Mecks was the first shot. Mrs.
| Mceks jumped out and she also was
killed. The murderers then took
stones and beat the brains out OF
/ two OF the children and left the other for
dead. Tho mur,lerers then loaded the
whole family into the wagon and took
hem two miles TO the Taylor farm, where
| they were buried under straw stack.
At hali-past 4 O'Clock this morning the
eldest child came to her senses and made
her way TO the residence of Mr.. Carter,
near 10y. Tho Carter family sent boy TO
! the Taylor farm. where he found the bod
les. The hoy then saw George Taylor and
lnnocently told him Of the murder as de-
scribed by the almost dying child. Tay-
lor immediately started for Browning on
horseback, got his brother William aud
both departed. The people of the neigh
borhool placed guards around the straw
slack whcro the bodies were found. 1t
was discovered that bloody quilt around
tho bodies was on IRE. the evident purpose
ben. to cremate the bodies.
Tho little girl recovered suiIicisntly to
describe some of the parties and upon her
evidence Sharon Mccullough and George
Hewlett have been arrested rs partict-
pants in the crime. A party of citizens
from Milan aud Browning found at tho
place OF the murder a revolver and n
stone. with which the murderers had shot
and killed the father and mother and
beaten the brains out of the two children
and left tho other for dead.
The Tay,ors have not been apprehended
but il is not thought possible they can es-
cape. Great excitement prevails.

Chumps Trying 10 K,ti an Elephant That
Knows as Much rs They.
New YORK, May 1.-THE elephant
Tip" has unquestionably been a great
sinner in his day, but he is now being
greatly sinned against in the manner Of
his attempted destruction, which occurred
to-day. In the first place carrot in
which there was two ounces of cyanide of
potassium was given him. THIS he swal-
lowed, but soon after elected it. An ap.
Pile with similar dose was next given.
but Tip" only munchcd the apple con-
tanning the poison, spAt 1t out and refused
several other poisoned morscls.
He finally swallowed piece Of bread
charged with cyanide of potassium and
half an hour later began 10 vomit and his
legs gave way little.
DIR. Spi,zka, who advised against the use
OF tho poison, said that Tip certainly
got enough Of the poison TO kill dozen
horses. but ii seemed to have lite effect
on the elephant except TO produce a weak
ness Of the legs. After a short while hc
regaincd his wontcd vigor. The park
commissioners are weary Of the job. but
talk OF finishing the execution with poison
this afternoon.

manifested toward the wealers. He and
Mrs. Diggigs and Secretary Of State Os-
borne and other populist leaders at once
held private conference, and at the close
they issued call for mass meeting To
be held on the public square this evening,
Ito discuss the question of tho unem-
ployed." Further than that, tho governor
consented 10 the request that the army he
allowed 10 camp on the court house
grounds while in the city. Marshal Neeley
inieriered with that plan for the present,
by keeping the men locked up in the
train.
Saunders says the Missouri Pacific in
blocking the road, damaged engines and
cars to the extent OF 5000. In getting
around the least OF these wrecks he was
delayed exactly 90 minutes. Some Of his
men are old trackmen and the men are
plentifuily provided with tools. Among
them arc three locomotive engineers, i've
tiremen and one civil engineer.
Not a weapon OF any kind was found
among thcm. Military discipline has
been observed and kopt up. Saunders is
an electrician by trade and is n native OF
Missouri. The prisoners will have a
formal hearing on Monday before United
States Commissioner Waggoner. Marshal
Neeley has load on his hands which he
Is really anxious to drop, and after the
formality of the hearing the wealcrs will
probably be turned loose for the people of
Topeka TO take care Of Saunders does
not believe they can be punished, and
that is why he counselcd tho men TO fall
easy victims to Marshal Neeley last night.
A large meeting was held at the court
house this evening and strong resolutions
adopted demanding the resignation OF
! United States Commissioners Waggoner,
as it was believed he exceeded his author
ity in accompanying the Missouri Pacific
special train. Speeches we're made by j.
e. Waters. G.. {. Clemens, Noah Allen
Superintendent Of Instruction Gaines.
All denounced Marshal Medley in strong
terms for not taking better care OF the
prisoners and feeding them better. A
committee consisting of the mayor and
others was appointed to call Oh Marshal
Neeley and demand that the prisoners be
gwen food or that the city be allowed tc
provide for them.

entire force Of $50 will strike. Tho men
demanded restoration of tho 33k per

The strike is the result OF tho media

vised the local unions to take n vote on
