ing the absence of her mother yester-
day the 6-year-old daughter of John
Myers for the fourth time attempted
to take the life of one of her two

took a stick of burning stove wood
and holding her 2-year-old sister to
the floor pressed the brand against
her clothing. The victim managed
to get out of doors and lie down in a
snow drift, which barely extin-
gushed the flames, but she was so
terribly burned that she died few
hours later.

IT'S A POOR EXCUSE.
Man OH Trial for Killing His Family
Claims that "a Religious Feud Led 10


Peoria, H., Feb. 21.-In the trial
yesterday of Samuel Moser, charged
with killing his wife and three chill
dren, letters alleged to have been
written by the prisoner were intro
duced in which the writer admits his
guilt, but charges the crime to the
influence of the members of the Am
ish religious sect, in separating him
from his family.
Several witnesses testified to vari-
Gus conversations with the defendant
in which he told of his relations with
the Amish community. Moser said
to one of these witnesses that he left
the church five years ago because of
q disagreement with the minister,
and he then made up his mind if his
wife would not also leave it and go
to a new home with him, he would
kill the entire family and himself.

were burglarized Wednesday night. No
booty was secm ed by the robbers.
The postoffice and depot are in the

ly gained an entrance through the

postoffice. All of the letters in the Of

the floor. A number Of packages wero
also opened.
The ticket case in the depot was
broken open but nothing taken. The
cash drawer was also tampered with.
The thieves made way with two gallons
of maple syrup which had been left in
the postoffice.
When Postmaster Anthony opened up
the depot and postoffice it presented a
very discouraging scene. everything be-
ing turned upside down. 1t is sup
posed that the robbers expected to Sc
cure stamps and some cash, but in this
they were disappointed. as Mr.. An

in a safe place at night. There is no
clue to the thieves.
