FIVE CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH
Awful Accident Reported From Ham
ilton Saturday Night Father
Made a Maniac by the Sight.

HAMILTON, Mo-, Nov. 22.-The five
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder Neal,
living five miles north of this city,
were burned to death late last night.
1t is thought that the fire was started
by incendiaries. The Neal dwelling
was burned while the parents wer at
tending a dance.
They had 8 children. The Oldest a
boy of Is years, and a baby, accompa-
MED the parents to the function.
About IL O'Clock the gathering broke
up. Soon after starting home the
Meals and those accompanying them
discovered the Neal residence was on
fire. When they reached the burning
building the father saw his II year old
girl lying, burning, in the front door.
clasping her 3 year old brother in hel
arms. The flames prevented the res
cue. The children were then dead.
The father fell in a swoon and has
been a raying maniac ever since.
Nora, 9 years old, is the only survivor,
She says the children at home, Callie,
10; Hattie, IL; Willie, z; Clarence, s;
Julian, 8, and herself, retired at the
usual hour in an upstairs chamber.
The next thing she knew the fire was
coming up through the floor and the
building was enveloped in flames. She
says all six were aroused. She rushed
to a second story window and jumped
to the ground, calling to the others to
follow, as the fire had cut of escape
by the stairway.

MOB AFTER
One Hundred Men Make an Effort to
Lynch Two Men.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Nov. 21.-An un-
organized mob of more than 100 men
made an effort this morning about two
O'Clock to get possession of Jesse Win
ner and Lon Lackey, now lodged in
the county jail, charged with the Win
ner murder. They had but little
trouble in getting inside the residence
portion of the jail. but when they de-
manded the keys to the prison de-
partment Sheriff Holman informed
them that he did not have the keys,
but that they were in the possession
of Deputy Sheriff Richard K. Green,
who was absent at that time.
Most of the leaders were from the
country, and they came armed with
shotguns and axes, but made no effort
to break into the cells where Winner
and Lackey are confined.
AT the time they entered the jail
Sheriff Holman had no one to assist
him in guarding the jail except Depu.
ty City Marshal Pat Murphy, and II
was the most opportune time a moi
will ever have to get the prisoners, al
a closer watch will be kept in the flu
ture.
1t is evident from the size of the
| crowd and the hour at which they
came to town that had the parties hat
a leader who had the nerve to attemp
such an undertaking, both would hav,
been lynched. After being told b!
Sheriff Holman that he could not Civ,
them the keys and the reason why h,
could not, they did some loud talkin,
and finally went away. This mornin,
there yer no signs of the crowd hav
ing been in town.

THE ERRORS OF ESTIMATES.

be completed for $4,000, 900, absorbed
$4,000, 900.
The estimated cost of the Manches.
ter ship canal was s2s, CSC, 900. Nearly
$50, OO0, 900 was spent before the cana
was ready for business.
The egregious underestimate Of

swamped that enterprise before
wholesale stealing completed the

the demand for shipping at that port
is so great that steamers are being
chartered two voyages ahead and
even sailing vessels pressed into SER

Hald-un Sunday Night.

About IL O'Clock Sunday night, as
John Vaughan, a carpenter, who re-
sides in Southwest Mexico, was on
his way home, he was held up by two
men in front of s. P. Emmons' resi-
dence on Southwestern avenue. The
two men stopped him on the walk
and while held a pistol to his
head the other put several questions
to him. He asked Vaughan if he had
any money and, after receiving a de-
cidedly negative reply, enquired
whether or not he owned the house
in which he lived with his family.
Vaughan told them ne did not and the
interrogater said he guessed he and
his pard had made q mistake and al
lowed Mr.. Vaughan to 60 on his way
unmolestsd.
MIR. Vaughan says the men were
young looking, and that in the dim
light he could not see them very well.
He Is Of the opinion that they were
laying in wait for some well-to-dc
resident of that vicinity, and is re-
joicfng over the fact that, although he
had . few dollars in his pocket at the
