A TRIPLE LYNCHING IN TEXAS.
Father and Two Sons Taken Out of
Bed and Strung Up.

Dallas. May 25.-News reached Dallas to-
night of a triple lynching near Alley,
small village in Henderson county, that
occurred late last night. Alley is remotely
situated between Cedar Greek and Trim
ity River, seventy-hve miles southeast of
Dallas, and fully fifteen miles from any
railway, telegraph, or telephone connec-
tion. The facts, SO far as known to the
outside world, are necessarily incomplete,
but enough has been learned to indicate
that the affair was one of the boldest and
most deliberate lynchings that has ever
taken place in Texas.
James Hugphries and his two ,rown
sons, all farmers OF the Alley community
were taken from their home at midnight
by party of three armed men, who forced
them from their beds at the muzzles OF
revOlvers, seized and bound them and
carried them on horseback TO secluded
spot in the Cedar Creek bottoms. FIVE
miles away. The thick underbrush con
cealed their movements from all passersby
and the work OF swinging the three men to
a convenient limb was soon begun.
The women at the Hugphries home
had been told that the men were TO be
taken TO Malakoff and perhaps to Athens,
the county seat, to appear in civil trial.
This morning they sent a MESSENGER to
Malakoif to learn how the men were far
ing. The messenger was informed that
the Hugphries had not been brought there
at all Then u search was instituted, and
late this afternoon three lifeless bodies
were found hanging on tree. The cause
that led TO the crime is supposed to have
been the harboring of the murderer of
Constable Melton, of Malakoff, who was
killed a few months ago and who was
afterward assisted TO escape by the Hug
phries. The sheriff of Henderson county
tonight commenced a search for the lynch

KILLED IN A FAMILY TENT.
Three Children and Wife Murder
ed by n Missouri Mnn

Ntfe hUruer-
ed by Missouri Man.
Joplin, Mo-. May 25.-Joplin was the
scene of an awful tragedy Tuesday night,
but the discovery was not made until neon
today, when two boys in passing one of
the many tents in the outskirts of the town
noticed a most offensive smell. Approach
ing nearer they saw dead man lying upon
the floor with a revolver in his right hand.
On bed nearby was the body of woman.
with her skull crushed in by some blunt
instrument, and on another bed were the
dead bodies of boy of about twelve and
girl of about ten years of age, the heads
also being crushed. The bloody c!aw-ham
mer on the floor told the story of their
deaths. Hurrying out of the tent the boys
almost stumbled over a more horrible OBJ
ject. the headless body of little girl OF
about four years. The head was close to
the body. almost under one of the childs
arms. This tragedy was reported to the
police, and an investigation followed.
Persons living in a tent 100 yards from
the scene of the tragedy heard a woman
scream and shot fired about u o'clock
Tuesday night, but thought nothing fur
ther about it. Judging from the appear
ance and condition of the bodies the
tragedy occurred about that time The
family consisted of James Edwin Moss.
Mrs. Ina Moss, his wife. Cloyd Moss. Bulah
Moss, and Laura Moss. his children. He
probably murdered his family while in a
fit of despondency and killed himself. Moss
was a barber by, trade and formerly lived
in Independence, Mo-, and later in Nevada,
Mo, whence he moved to Joplin six weeks
ago. and being unable to find vacant
house, lived in tent. He worked ct the
mine but aside from this little is known
of the family.
The general appearance of things in the
tent indicates that Mrs. Moss was wom-
an .of refinement and was an excellent
housekeeper. The murdered wife and
children were in Bed in their night clothes
when killed, and the pillows and bed
clothing were stiff with the dried blood.
Moss shot himself in the right temple
with pistol, the bullet passing through
his head and coming out behind the left
ear.
The youngest childs head had been cut
off with a razor, and the Job had probably
been done quickly. but the first stroke
had doubtless missed its mark, for the
child had been scalped as well as decap-
itated. A coroner's inquest is being held,
and the bodies will be buried tomorrow.

or more, one being on my lip and one
on my chin. was considerably worried
over my growing family Of excrescences,
and one day woodchopper in my ia
theirs employ, who acted queerly, never
wearing hat. for instance, said that
he could take the warts away with him.
and he took me off to quiet spot under
willow tree, from which he cut
number of small branches, and these he
cut again into little bits of an inch in
length. making a notch in each one,
and this notch he set down over each
wart. having at last a collection of 40
or more of these little notched sticks.
These he put into his pocket, saying
that the warts would go away.
l could never say just when the
prophecy was fulfilled, but within six
weeks there wasn't wart ON my face
or hands, and there has not been one
since that time. What l want to know
now, as / did then-and the conjurer
would not tell me-is what did it. /
