MURDERED -FOUR CHILDREN.-O
Friday night August Neuman, young
man who had worked on Knute Hill
stead's farm, four miles west of Lari-
more, N. d.. called at the Hillstead
home, and, finding the father absent,
insisted upon remaining all nigh
against Mrs. Hilstead's objections
She consented through fear to allow
HIM to remain. just before l o'clock
saturday morning Neumau tiptoed TO
the door of Mrs Hilstead's room and
askep to be admitted. Mrs. Hillstesd,
who had been awake all night, bearing
the man, did not answer. Neuman be-
came angry and threatened to kill her
and her four children. He tried 10
batter down the door, but failed, aud
then rushed upstairs to the room of the
tifteen-vear-old son, Peter, and cut his
throat with razor, Neuman then re
turned downstairs and again demanded
sdmittance TO Mrs. Hillstesd's room.
She swooued away and did not hear
him. He then went upstairs a second
time and cut the throats of Thomas,
aged thirteen; Adolpb, aged eleven,
and Oscar, aged three. Adolph and
Oscar are dead, and the other boy is
dying. After this awful butchery,
Neuman secured piece of scantlipg
aud battered down the door of Mrs.
H llstead's room. He assaulted h-r,
| stole horse and disappeared. The
| murderer is we'll known in the neigh
borhood, ard will doubtless be captur'
ed by his pursuers, who will lynch

spurred on BY death, and that it is the
weight of death that stoops their shoulders.
When business man or working man
feels out-ofsorts and realizes that he is
overworking he should slow UP little.
Then if he will have resort to the right
remedy he will soon be in fine fettle and
