ENTIRE FAMILY MORDERED
WoMAN's sTEPsoN is CHARGED
WITH THE CRIME.
After slaughtering Mother and
Four Children, Attempt Was Made
to Cremate the Bodies.

st. Louis. April ga special to the
Post-Disoatch from Dexter, Mo-, says
one of the most fiendish crimes commit
ted in southeast Missouri was the muir
der last night of Mrs. Jane Tettaton,
widow of Wash Tettaton, a. prominent
man of that section, and her four chill
dren, whose remains were partly inciner-
ated by the burning of their home, four
teen miles south of Madden. j. ii. Tetta-
ton a son of Wash Tettaton by his first
wife is under arrest for the crime, and
all the circumstances seem to point to
his guilt.
The murdered children were two boys
and two girls, ranging in age from t. II
years. The Tettaton family was an in
fluental one in the community.
Some time ago, Wash Tettaton, man
of considerable means, died, leaving an
estate, the greater part of which was
bequeathed TO Mrs. Jane TettatOn. his
second wife. j. II. Tettaton, his son by
the first wife, was appointed admins
TRAITOR. His management of the estate
was not entirely satisfactory to Mrs.
Tettaton, and as d result several suits
were brought. Yesterday, however, Mrs.
Tettaton agreed to dismiss the suits for
a cash consideration of $500 and to cancel
claims held upon lands belonging to the
estate.
]. H. Tettaton went to his step-mothers
home last night to adjust matters, and
that was the last seen of the widow and
her children alive.
About o'clock, neighbors saw that the
Tettaton home was on fire and on reach
ing there discovered the bodies of the
five victims in the flames. Vigorous eff
forts on the part of those present saved
them from total destruction. AS it was
the bodies were burned past recognition.
One of the children had d bullet wound
in the head and half the mothers skull
was gone.
J. H Tettaton was found in the yard
with thirteen knife wounds on the head
and face, shamming Inconsistencies. His
wounds are tritling.
Tettaton tells many conflicting stories
of the affair, but sticks to the statement
that the crime was committed by two I'M
known men. He says that he was talking
with his step-mother about the payment
of $3.50. for which he showed a. receipt
covered with blood and purported to have
been signed by the widow. when the men
refused TO give it up and the men opened
fire. AT the first fire, TettatOn said, the
widow fell. and as he ran into the yard
he was cut and beaten into insensibility.
He claims to be entirely ignorant of all
that followed.
The dead woman seems to have had a
preSentiment that something would hap
pen to her. She spoke of this to neigh
Dor yesterday and told of a mysterious
visit ]. H. Tettaton made to the house
recently at night. The coroner is hold
ing an inquest this afternoon.
There is intense feeling against Tettatou
and as there have been threats of lynch
ing made the sheriff has taken him to
safe place. A knife and pistol identified
as the property of Tettaton. have been
recovered from the ruins. Tettaton is a
member of the board of town trustees of
Bernie, eight miles from Madden.

DAILY HAS NOT SOLD.
Saws He Still Owns the Anaconda
Copper Properties.

Chicago, April 26.-Marcus DAILY. the
Montana copper king. is at the Audi
forum. having arrived from New York
where he has been for several weeks.
When asked about the copper combine
he gave it to be understood that the
Anaconda property had not been Sc
cured and protested to have no knOwl-
edge that the trust had been consun-
mated.
Il heard of this talk in New York
on Saturday" he said, land made in
quiries among some people whom
thought would know something about
it if the deal had been carried through.
but none of them knew anything more
than 1 did.
1T may be that something was done
in New York yesterday, as the advance
in stocks seems to indicate, but if so l
have received no definite knowledge
to that effect
you think you would be apt to hear
if anything had been accomplished
he was asked.
well, yet, 1 rather think L would.
he replied. with d smile. Before the
scheme can be said to have been con-
summated some business will have to
be done with me. 1t looks as though
the deal would go through. but the talk
of d Capitalization of $500, 100000 is non
sense. That is a greatly exaggerated
figure. 1t would simply be impossible
figure. II would simply be impossible
to make fair earnings on such a capt.
taliZdtion.

SENATOR TELLER ILL.
Had a Serious Painting Fit In Den
yer. Colo.

Denver, Colo, April 26.-United States
Senator Henry NJ. Teller had an alarm
ing fainting fit at Longmount this af-
ternoon. He had attended the funeral
of eX-Attorney General Byron l.. Carr.
After the funeral he tainted at the
church. He was taken to the Carr resi-
dence and it was about fifteen minutes
before he regained consciousness. The
senator came back to Denver on the
train this evening and was feeling fair
ly well tonight. DR.. George E. Tyler,
son-in-law of the senator, who is also
a physician, said tonight:
Il do not consider the attack as any
thing serious. Senator Teller visited
his ranch near Boulder yesterday and
did some physical labor which he is not
accustomed to. He slept very poorly
last night and ate a very light break
fast in the morning. He then rode to
Longmount and then rode in the hot
sun and spoke at the funeral services
without his ordinary lunch He has
not been strong since his recent sick
ness in Denver some weeks ago. All
causes combined were, L think, respOn-
sible for the fainting attack of today.
His condition seems very favorable to-

New York, April 26.-August Belmont
&, Co. are the agents of the Rothschilds

any of them had an interest in any
copper consolidation, d member of the
firm said:
I'VE have not heard a word about it.
1t is news TO us. and We're it true it
would be very strange if we knew moth
ing about it,"
one of the firm of Lewisohn Bros.
said:

about consolidation of copper interests.
We do not know of a consolidation such
as Is talked of, but an endeavor is under
way TO unite certain properties 1 have

Cut off a cipher and you bring the
affair into the range of probability.
Something is doing, however, to unite
some copper companies, and something
may come of it. The present rumOr
of an immense consolidation may have
its origin in investments by H. II. ROg-
ers of the Standard Oil company. He
is a good judge of securities and prop
critics. and has put money in coppers,
and, as / learn, in the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company"
Mr. Rogers is out of town and no one
in the office of the Standard Oil COM
pany would discuss it's relations with
promoters of copper consolidation.
James b. Haggin, president of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company,
refused to talk on the subject. At the
office of Guggenheimer, Untermeyer &
Marshall VINO have practically q mo-
nopoly of the copper deals. the $780,
600 900 consolidation story was denied,
but without comment. because of the
absence of Samuel Untemeyer, who has
managed all of the interpretations of
copper companies for the firm. No
Confederation Of the story was had
at Ladenburg, Thalman & Co.'S or from

Admiral Kautz Ceased Firing
Temporarily, Until German Con-
sulate Could Be Vacated.

Berlin, April 2e.-With view of rec
tifying the reports of discord said to
exist between the three naval COM
manders at Samoa, the Nord Deutche
Zeitung publishes extracts today from
the report of the German warship
Fakes commander up to March %, in
which Captain SchoenfeIder says:
The widest rumors are current con-
corning the relations between the Off
GERS and crew of the Fake and the
Americans and English. The reports are
due to some of our countrymen who do
not tire of creating iil-feeling between
the officers and men of the three coun-
tries by promoting such rumors. AS
a matter of fact, the relations between
the different commanders and officers
are thoroughly courteous and of an ac-
commodating character.
In spite of the arduous nature of his
guard duty, Captain Sturdee attended
the funeral of German sailor with a
deputation of officers and sixteen men,
and Admiral KautZ hoisted his dag at
half-maSt. No disputes have occurred
between the German and the American
or English crews.

Dating with the commencement of
hostilities March H. and the fact that a
fragment of one of the PhiladeIphias
shells entered the German consulate,
the report says
1.-THE German consulate was not pre-
viously notified of the commencement
of hostilities, and was still inhabited.
1 Immediately dispatched an officer to
inform Admiral kautz that the German
consulate was not evacuated and that
his shots had struck the building, and
requested him to cease firing over Apia
until the Germans were in safety Ad-
miral Kautz told the officer that owing
to my representations, he would not
continue firing over Apia. and the fol-
lowing day he sent his flag lieutenant
to me and expressed regret at the oc-
currence.
