OrrUMwA, Ia, Feb. s.-The little
town of Mercer, Mercer county, Mo-,
five miles south of Lineville, Ia, was
Saturday night the scene of a double
murder, which may yet be followed by
a lynching of the murderer, who is
now in Jail st Trenton, Mo-, under
strong guard, where he was removed
from Princeton, as the farmers began
to gather for a hanging bee.
The dead men are Andrew and Joe
Alley, who conducted the largest gen
eral store at Mercer, and were well-to-
do and widely known busines, men.
Peter Kindred, the murderer, is a
farmer living near Mercer and has al
ways borne good reputation.
The shooting was the result Of
quarrel, brought on by the Alley broth
ers suing Kindred for an account and
getting Judgment against him. Kin
dred got drunk Saturday night and en-
tering the Alley brothers store began
abusing them and saying he would not
pay the account. They ordered the
man from the store, and instead of leay-
ing he drew revolver and began fir
ing. Andrew died instantly from
shot in the back and Joe fell mortally
wounded with a ball in the pit of the
stomach. He fingered until today,
when he died.
Kindred was captured by posse as
he was trying to escape from Mercer.
He was taken to Jail at Princeton. The
legion of friends of tha A11ay hoyS he
gan to gather at Princeton and the
most intense excitement prevailed.
The murder Of the Alley boys is the
last of four tragedies that have occurred
in Mercer county in the last three
months and this added to the fury of
the mob. The Princeton officers be-
came alarmed at the signs of an ap-'
preaching lynching and secretly con-
veyed Kindred to Trenton. Mo. Mercer
county citizens are up in arms and de-
clare that the lawlessness of the last
three months must be stopped.
