Especial Correspondence
Kaysville, March 23.-Through a tele-
phenic misunderstanding The Herald this
morning published an erroneous ac-
count OF the ma meeting held yesterday
afternoon. The meeting was held at
Layton instead of kaySville and 1t was
the Layton people who gave haysville
tlement that had been made by the Lay
ton members of the joint committee 1t
was also decided that If kaYsYille does
not accept within ten days the Layton
members of the committee will be dis
charged, and no further efforts will be
made by them to settle.
The proposition of the Layton people re :
ferred to Is that they will submit to u
5-mill tax as their full share of the
citys debt of about $500. A 5-mill tax
on their property would yield about S2,4OO,
leaving about S4 800 to be paid by those
who reside within the boundaries to
which it is proposed to curtafl the city
make this proposition represent about
five-sevenths of the property valuation OF
tie entire city, and ii kaySVllle pet'l !e
accept it, the iive-sevenths will pay some
thing more than one-third of the debt,
leaving nearly tWo-thirds to be paid by
those inside of the new limits, who own
twO-SeventhS of the property. 10 5fset
this those inside viii retain possession OF
about s., 010 worth of city property.

JOHN MOORE'S CONFESSION.
Kansas Man Murdered His Children
While In a Trance.

Kansas City, Mo, March pa spe-
cial to the Star from Mcpherson, Kan,
says: John Moore, the Hutchinson muir
dered, today made a signed statement
Of his horrible crime. Moore murdered
his five children with a Ratchet and
knife and then burned the house over
their heads. He and his wife had quar-
relied and he claims they were about to
separate. In the statement Moore says:
Il had been feeling pretty bad for
two or three DAYS. The children were
all in bed and asleep. I turned the
lamp down and Went to bed. then had
one of my worst spells and my head
hurt me awfully and everything seemed
floating before me, and the next thing
that l remembered after this was in
trying to get out of the house myself.
1 have a recollection of going through
a struggle like a dream that l half
remember. All the recollection that l
have about this is that l would rather
see M children dead than TO leave
them in the hands of my wife's people.
1t was like a dream to me that I had
done something to the children, but [
do not reeoilect using the knife or
Ratchet. 1 loved my children and
lived for them.
Yesterday Moore tacitly admitted
having committed the deed, but he
would not go into details.
