THE DEATH
OF GEO. SIMKO.
Hanging at Murray City Was a
Mystery.
ACCUSED MEN WERE DISCHARGED.
The Lanping Brothers Were Given Pre-
liminary Trial and Then Acquitted.
Boys Had Been Hosting Themselves
In Fun In the Barn.

NELsoNvILLE, Aug. 2l.-Geo. Simko,
dead upon the floor of the barn at the
family residence at Murray City, was
evidently hanged. Rube Lanning and
Mail Lanning, two brothers, were ar.
rested upon suspicion of having com.
mitted the crime. They were the last
persons seen near the barn, and had
called upon the boys stepfather at his
saloon and asked permission to 90
through the lot, which was granted.
After the dead body of the boy was
discovered they were Immediately sus.
pected and and officers followed them
to their homes at New Pittsburg and
arrested them. The prosecuting attor-
ney was notified and the accused were
given preliminary trial, and after the
examination of several witnesses they
were acquitted.
1t is possible that some of the boys
hoisted young Simko up with the rope
tied around his neck, and in their ex-
citement jerked up harder than they
intended and broke his neck.
However, against this theory is the
fact that the rope to which he was tied
was fastened to the beam of the barn,
part of which was still tied to the
rafters.
During the examination the testimony
developed the fact that children were in
the habit of making playhouse out of
the barn in which the boy was hanged,
and that there was pulley in the roof
of the building used for hoisting hay
The boys were in the habit of putting a
rope through this pulley and hosting
themselves up and down.
The discharge of the men arrested
upon suspicion of committing the crime
leaves the matter involved in as deep a
mystery as ever.
