A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
A Man Outs the Threats Of His
Wife and Children.
A PRISONER KEEPS HIS THREAT.


WORTHWHILE, Ind, Oct. lO-AlOert
Bray. aged 80, q prosperous farmer and
q very religious man, cut the throats
Of his wife, his nine-year-old son Carl,
his two-year.old daughter Edna and
himself The crimes were committed
between midnight and daylight yester-
day morning, five miles north Of here.
The wife and children died without a
struggle. but Bray, with a gaping
wound 10 his throat two inches deep
and six inches in length, lived until
noon without regaining consciousness.
The work was done with razor, with
which he used to do his own shaving.
Both Bray and his wife have been in
poor health. Bray procured a large
hand ak and crushed the skulls of his
victims after he had used the razor
upon them. Bray, owing to sickness
in his family and some financial en-
barrassment lost his reason. He re-
tired early Thursday night and Mrs.
Dora Ray, domestic employed in the
Bray household, went to bed with
Edna. Shortly after nine o'clock she
was awakened by Bray walking into
her room in his stocking feet He
went to her bed and removed his little
daughter into an adjoining room,
where she was found with her throat
cut from ear to ear. 1t is thought he
killed Carl next, while the boy was
asleep. Bray went into the next room
where his invalid wife lay, stepped to
the bedside and sashed her neck and,
seeing that the cut was too low, he
made second and successful effort to
kill her.

FL Reno.
We, the undersigned committee on
resolutions OF the Democratic coEven-
tion Of Oklahoma territory, beg leave
to submit the following:
First-That we unqualiaedly APP
prove the platform adopted by the
national Democratic party In Chicago
on the sth day Of July, 1896, and
heartily indorse she nominees OF said
national Democratic convention
Second-That we unsparingly con
denim the platform adopted by the
national Republican party in tie city
OF ST. Louis as being declaration OF
principles in favor of the classes and
against the masses Of the people Of
this great republic, as being in the
interest of the powerful and wealthy
at the expense OF all the producing
millions of our people, and as being
un-American, unpatriotic and un'
worthy OF support OF any citizen who
earns his living other than by scalp
ing coupons or charging usurious in
teresL
Third-We favor the enactment OF
law by our Hext territorial legisia-
ture prohibiting the giving OF ran
road passes TO any legislative, judicial
or executive officer Of this territory
aud condemn the practice OF giving or
accepting such passes by or from rall-
roads or other corporations as being u
menace TO the general welfare OF the
people OF tins territory; that We also

we are opposed to the formation Of a

prosperity OF the people, and in the
future doom them to the burdens OF
excessive taxation. We are therefore
opposed TO the policy OF the Republican
party in the territory, which proposes
