TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
AHoosier Kills His wifes Father, Brother

and Himself.
ST. LoUIs, Sept. 10.-A special from
Sullivan. Ind, says that triple trag
.edy occurred near that place Thursday
night James Ward became involved
in q quarrel with Aaron and John
Hunter, his father in law and
kbrother-in-law, respectively.
The trouble grew out of q family
quarrel. Thursday night at II o'clock
Ward and Aaron Hunter were in town
and apparently arrived at salts
factory understanding. Ward insisted,
however, upon the old man going to
the woods for the purpose of hunting
coons
While the hunt was in progress and
Hunter was sitting on a stump, Ward
hit him on the head with anax. His
head was split wide open. When
Hunter fell, Ward struck the pros
trate body again and cut off
the head. The AK sank into the
ground. The murderer then proceed
ed to kick the head of his victim about.
He then went home, awoKe his wife
and told her to call her brother, as he
and the old man had freed coon, and
ask him to come and help fell the tree.
The younger Hunter got up, went
out into the yard with only his shirt
on, when Ward, with a stroke of the
ak, felled him to the ground. Young
Hunter died almost Immediately, with
his head split open. Ward then told
his wife to keep quiet about the whole
affair; that if she did not she would
| suffer the same fate as her father and
brother.
| Ward then went about half mile
lsdown the road and stopped at the
| Breckels' home. He told Mrs. Brock
ell that he had killed both the Hunters.
Before many hours the crime was gen
orally known and a posse consisting OF
miners and farmers started on the
hunt for Ward, armed with various
weapons.
Ward had two revolvers, and This
fact was known by his pursuers. The
posse became enraged, and when the
old mans body was found the mob be.
Icame more Infatuated than ever, and
i determined to hang Ward il
caught. just as the posse had
located Ward and surrounded the
field in which he had been hiding d
single shot was heard. The posse
closed in on the spot from whence the
firing had come and found Ward on his
back on the ground with revolver il
each hand and bullet wound under
the left ear. He was dead.
