TRIPLE MURDER.
Terrible Work OF n Negro with
an Ak Near Cypress.

Special 10 the Eagle;
Cypress, Harris Co., July IS
One Of the most dastardly trip
pie murders ever committed IN
Harris county was perpetrated
one and a half miles northeast Of
this place at l O'Clock this after
noon.
Henry Meyer Jr. and wife were
literally cut 10 pieces, and a little
3.year-old boy cut and his skull
mashed until there is no possible
show for him to live many hours.
Armed with an AK a negro who
was working for Mr.. Meyer on the
farm did the terrible deed. After
working during the forenoon and
taking dinner Mr.. Meyer and his
wife aud little son lay down on the
gallery 10 rest, while the negro
lay on another corner Of the GAL
lery and pretended to be asleep.
he waited until Mr.. Meyer fell
asleep and then sprang upon him
with the AK, killing him instant
~. He then sprang upon Mrs.
Meyer and killed her as he did
her husband, and struck the g.
year-old boy several times, after
which he ran into a room where a
l0-year-old brother Of Meyer and
Meyers little girl baby were
sleeping. Fortunately the boy
awoke on hearing the screams Of
his sister-in-law. He exercised
enough GOODNESS and forethoughi
to threw the baby into a cradle
and cover her with bed clothing
before the murderer got in, saw
ing her from a most horrible death
The boy then succeeded in escap-
ing through the window after re.
ceiving several cuts from the brute
and ran TO the house Of neigh-
Dor and gave the alarm.
/ In a shot time the entire COM
munity was aroused and rushing
for the Meyer residence where
they found husband and wife lying
on the gallery in pools Of blood,
while the mother held hsr child in
a death clasp ON her breast.
After committing the awful
crime the negro went into a field
back Of the house and ate a water.

MANAGER LOEPFLER DENIES IT.
lie Says He Has Heard the Rumor Bat
That His Concern WIN Not BE fur-
chased by the Rival Company-A
Big Beer War On.

1t was reported yesterday that the
Pabs: Brewing Company had bought out
the entire local plant OF the Bcrgner &c
Engel Company, one OF the oldest agen-
clcs here
The Pabst Company. which Is one OF
the most powerful corporations brewing
beer in the country, not long ago estab-
lished an agency IN Richmond. A very
clever gentleman from the Washington
onlce was sent here TO inauguratc the
business.
At present the company has its plant at
Canal and Adams streets. But this Is
only a temporary arrangement Larger
and mere permanent quarters are needed
and a local man will be appointed 70
manage the business here.
II is stated that Mr.. Barney Frischkorn
may be tho agent. though. II seems. this
appointment has not been positively made.
AN OLD AGENCY
Tho Bergner & Engel Company. whose
headquarters are in Philadelphia. has long
had an agency here and Tor many years
did a prosperous business. Recently the
competition In beer has been so close
that none OF the companies have made
as much money as they formerly did.
Now there is a prospect of "A most In
terestng struggle between the Pabst
Company and tho Anheuser-B Busch Com
pany for supremacy IN the local field Of
foreign agencies. Richmond has two
home companies that are doing a good
business and are supplying a large trade
and no doubt. will continue 20 do so.
MIR. LOEFFLER DENIES IT,
Mr.. Charles T.. Loeffier IS the manager
in Richmond OF the Bergner * Engei
Company. and IS very popular with the
trade. He was asked about the report
that his concern was about TO retire from
Richmond and sell its plant 10 the Pabst
Company. Mr.. Loefiler said II there was
any truth in the rumor he did not know
OF IL and that being the manager he
should know. He had heard Of the report
but stated that there was no foundation
for IL.
1t is possible. however that Mr.. Loef-
fer might not be In possession OF infor-
nation concerning negotiations between
the two companies.
