There are now two assistant attor-

HORRIBLE.

An unusual and horrible occur
renee took place recently at Sullivan,
Mo. Three young children of a
widow named jenkins were sent to
the barn to hunt eggs. The barn
has been infested with snakes for
several years and has always been
considered a dangerous place on that
account. The eldest OF the three
children thrust his arm into an
opening in the barn floor and began
feeling about for mems nest. Sud-
denly the child withdrew his hand
uttering cry of pain. He said a
hen had pecked his finger. The
other children inserted their arms
in the opening, one by one, with the
same result. The children set up
cries of fright as the pain in their
hands increased. The mother, who
was standing by I'm open well some
distance away with a two months old
infant in her arms, became excited
and leaving the baby rushed to the
assistance of the children, The ba>
by fell into the well and was drown
ed. The other three children died
in agony before medical aid could
be obtained. A nest of rattle
snakes was found under the barn.
The mother is frantic with grief.
