Murderous nadmau.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Feb. 3'-One of
the most horrible crimes ever perpe-
trated in the State took place five miles
north of Mulberry in Franklin county
last night. Sol. F. Aubrey. a farmer,
accompanied by his family, went early
yesterday morning to visit his aged ia
ther and mother living e Mulberry.
Shortly after his arrival Aubrey became
engaged in a religious argument with
the old folks. Suddenly he grasped an
non bar killing his aged father, mother
and his ten-year son and seriously
wounding his wife and three remaining
children. two OF whom are not expected
TO live.
When the maniac started the deadly
work his wife and eldest daughter made
their escape, notifying a near neighboi
but when the neighbors arrived thu
mailman was standing in the dool
swearing he would kill any one VIII,
dared to enter.
Other neighbors came and found Au
trey a raving maniac with his clothe
on fire. He was overpowered and tn
sight that met their eyes was appalling
Three dead victims on the floor beaten

talking incoherently, swearing tbs
witches were the cause of the act an
that the last lick was when he killed h.
