Milwaukee, May s.-A double and
what yet may prove a quadruple muir
der occurred at the farmhouse Of Alex
ander Harris, who resided about FIVE
miles south Of Waukesha. the victims
being Mr.. Harris, his Wife. hired girl
and hired man.
The crime was committed, It is sup
posed, by a farmland named William
Pouch, who had been sheltered by the
farmer over night. The dead and
wounded are:
Alexander Harris. aged about As
years, killed.
Mrs. Harris, aged A years, killed.
Hired girl probably fatally wounded.
Hired man, probably fatally wounded.
William Pouch, a farmland, who had
worked for Mr.. Harris about two years
ago, called at the house and requested
lodging over night. He was taken In,
given supper and assigned to a room.
At o'clock the next morning Mr.. Har-
ris and the hired man arose and went
to the yard to milk the COWS, Mrs. Har-
ris and the hired girl remaining to pre-
pare breakfast for the family. Pouch
left his room quietly and going to the
yard where the men were milking the
cows bade them good morning. Harris
and the hired man were sitting on
stools, and before they were aware Of
his intent Pouch drew a revolver and
fired at the farmer, killing him almost
instantly. The murderer then shot the
hired man in the body, infiicting a
probably fatal wound. The man fell,
and Pouch evidently supposed him dead
also.
Pouch calmly left his victims where
they fell and walked leisurely 10 the
kitchen of the farmhouse. There he met
Mrs. Harris and the hired girl. He said
Mr.. Harris would not be in for a few
minutes and that he would partake Of
his breakfast at once. The women wait
ed upon the murderer, who seemed to
relish his meal.
After concluding his breakfast Pouch
arose from the table and started 70
walk toward the door, but suddenly
wheeled around, and before the women
realized what was about to happen he
shot Mrs. Harris in the breast and then
fired at the girl. The farmers wife fell
to floor with a fatal wound and ex-
pired soon afterward. The girl has a
chance Of recovery.
After finishing his bloody work the
murderer mounted bicycle and rode
away. He started in a southwesterly
direction over the Mukwango road, and
the supposition is that he is headed for
Burlington. A posse of farmers are in
hot pursuit. and the chances are that
he win be captured before night. They
openly vow that they will lynch the
murderer.
The supposition Of the authorities Is
that the man is either insane or that
he committed the terrible deed in order
TO hide evidence Of another crime. The
manner in which the murders were
committed shows plainly that he had
been deliberate in arranging his plans
and had carried them out to the letter
1t is later reported that Mrs. Harris
was not fatally shot. as at first stated
and may recover.
