Terrible Deed of George Young,
Living Near Blue Earth
City, MINI.
Kills His Wife and Two Little
Boys and Then Shoots
Him self.
Business and Domestic Trou-
bleS the Cause of the
Awful Act.

BLUE EARTH CITY, Mimi, Oct 21.-
The greatest tragedy in the history of
Faribault county occurred shortly after
a. m, at the farm Of George Young,
about two miles southeast of this vii
lage. Despondent over unsuccessful
business ventures and smarting under
some recent domestic troubles, Young
seized revolver and shot his wife, the
ball passing through her temple and
producing instant death. Running
into bedroom where his two baby
boys, and years Of age, were peace
fully sleeping, he placed the weapon to
the head of the first one and then the
other and killed them both, neither
moving after being shot. Young then
went into his sitting room, sat down in
a chair and fred bullet into his own
brain, dying Immediately. The whole
awful affair had becn deliberately
planned. Young had written two let
ters, in one of which he stated what he
was going to do, that he was entirely
responsible for the crime and directed
his hired man to
Notify the Authorities
and his relatives in Blue Earth City.
The other letter referred entirely and
somewhat bitterly to his business re-
verses. Young had arranged things so
that he would not be disturbed by send.
ing the hired en- to the barn to hitch
up the driving team, knowing that he
could probably complete the tragedy be:
fore his man could finish his work. The
man heard the shots and ran to the
house, but on reaching there found the
whole family lying dead, not one of
them speaking after he reached them.
Young was about 35 years of age and
his wife 30. They appeared to be in
prosperous circumstances and seemed to
live happily together. They had quite
recently become members Of the Meth
odist church here. The coroner of the
county has taken charge of the bodies
and will hold an inquest. Young's
relatives are disinclined to talk about
his affairs, but say they know no rea-
son why he should have killed his fam.
lily, expressing the belief that he had
become temporarily deranged from
brooding over business reverses.

Morgan and his daughters, and F. M.

himself as well pleased with what he

subject of annexation and intimated
that Hawaii may become part of this
country before the close of the coming

going to be a state, but whether 1t will
be at the time of its annexation or later
remains to be seen. Should it be an

ARE STILL DEADLOCKED
Practically No Change in the
Standing Of the Jury in the
Luetgert Case.
Believed Juror Harley Is the
Man Blocking the Way
to a Verdict.
If 1t Is a Disagreement the
Prosecution Will Try the
Case Again.

CHICAGO, Oct 21.-The Luetgert jury
stands about where it stood "a hours
ago Reports vary from 9 for the death
penalty to 3 for acquittal to III for death
and / for acquittal. The one juror
holding out for Luetgart is Harley and
it is thought that if he would change
front there would be little time lost in
arriving at a verdict. Juror Holabird
is also credited with favoring the ac-
quittal Of the prisoner, but it is thought
he will come around quickly if Harley
could be induced to vote for conviction.
The feeling among the jurors who are
in favor of the death penalty is high
against Harley and they have done very
plain talking to him. At one time dur.
ing the morning they even sent for
Judge Tuthill to know among other
things if II men could compel one man
to vote with them or if a verdict would
be valid if
But Eleven Men Signed 1t,
This is the incident that gave to the
state the idea that there was bat one
man standing between Luetgert and a
death sentence. For time it was ru.
mored that if the jury had not agreed
by morning it would be discharged as
soon as it reports it's inability to reach a
verdict. This, however, is not the
case. 1t is the firm determination of
Judge Tuthill to keep the jury until
Saturday night or late Saturday after.
noon before he permits them to go with
disagreement. He has announced
that both state and defendant have
spent so much money and time, and the
case has been so long and difficult to
try, that he will not consent to the dis.
charge of the jury until there is abso.
lutely no hope whatever of a verdict
being reached.
VIII Try 1t Again.
The counsel for the defense stillsstick
to their assertion of coming acquittal
The state is now looking for disagree
ment, having small hope that Harley
will agree to conviction and certainly
not to the death penalty. The states
attorney is, however, confident that the
jury will be with him to the extent of
10 to 2 or II to /. Mr.. Deneen is hard
fighter and he smiled grimly when
asked if he intended to try the case
again.
"Why-most certainly we will" he
said, land we will put up stronger
case against him the second time than
we have on this trial. Then, too, Mrs.
Luetgert will have had just so much
more time in which to show up, and, as
of course she will not do that, it will be
worse for Luetgert than it is now"
