He WIN Have to Answer the Charge of
Firing the Barn of George King.
Harrison Bradley, the old negro who
was accused of burning the barn of
George King near Farnhurst Thursday
morning, was arraigned on the charge
before Magistrate Daley Thursday
afternoon, and held in $1,000 bail to
answer the charge at the upper court.
Several witnesses testified, and the
evidence was very damaging. Bradley
slept in the barn all night. In the
morning he was ordered out and off
the premises. 1t appears that he went
to the house of Ida Davis, colored, who
lives nearby, and she stated that he
told her he was going to burn all the
buildings on the King farm and kill
the people inside of "a hours. It is
alleged that he returned to the barn
after making that statement, and Sadie
Chambers, colored woman, said she
saw him take box of matches from
his grip just as he was approaching the
barn.
The old man made general denial.
He stated that the only time he used
matches was out in the road when he
lighted his pipe, but the magistrate
thought different, and Harrison will
have to tell his tale over at the upper
court.

Sullivan, Mo-, Aug 80. Yesterday
evening three children Of widow
named Jenkins, while at play, went TO
a place near the barn to gather eggs
The place was rather out Of the way
and dangerous, owing to snakes which
are numerous in that region.
One child thrust its hand into what
it supposed was the hens nest and
quickly Withdrew it, exclaming that
the hen had pecked it, The other chill
dren put in their hands with the same
result and set up loud cry.
The mother was at the well with the
baby and the alarm so excited her that
she left the babe and ran to the assist
ance of the three children who it seems
had been bitten by rattlesnake.
During the excitement the little babe
fell into the well and was drowned, and
the three other children also died.
