provoke them, knowing well their cause

The various labor unions of this coun-

of their own men. Never was that
better eXemplified than in the recent
miners strike. Never in my expert

tragedy has been disclosed. Boecker'S
victims are his wife and these children:
Caroline, aged Ia; Christine, aged 8;
Henry, aged s; Lizzie, aged 6; John,
aged 8, and an infant. All are dead
but Henry and the latter cannot re-
cover from his wounds
EVIDENCES OF THE BUTCHERY.
Boecker's brother. Henry. who lives
bout 20 rods away. went to the hOuse
at 8 o'clock this morning and was the
first to know of the tragedy. Becker,
with his wife and baby, slept in
back room. and their corpses lay on
one bed. The wife had been shot in
the neck with a shotgun which stood
in the corner. The baby had been
shot and its head crushed with the butt
of revolver. The man. sttll breathing,
had bullet hole high up on the fore
head and by his side was a Smith &
Wesson sixshooter. with two cham
bers emptied. Up stairs Henry and
Lizzie lay on a bed with bullet holes
in their heads, the latter dead, the boy
still breathing. In the opposite corner
of the same room Caroline Christine
! and John were dead, each with q bullet
hole in the forehead, though Caroline
had two.

any one of the household.
NO FAMILY TROUBLES.
Members of his fathers family say
he had no family troubles, his financial
affairs were in good shape and they
can assign no motive for the terrible
crime. On the other hand it is said
that John had disagreed with the old
folks and Henry over the occupancy
OF the farm on which John lived, and
this is assigned by some as the cause
of the trouble which eliminated in
