A TRAGEDY AT PARSONS.


Parsons, Kan, Dec. 20.-Yesterday
afternoon the lifeless and distorted
bodies Of Col. John +. Bull and wife
were found in the bedroom of their
new home in this city. Wednesday
G. S. Anderson, real estate man, de-
sired to transact some business with
Col. Bull and went to his house for
that purpose. He could not gain i'd
and again not being able to rouse
anybody, decided that something was
wrong. In company with Marshal
Bennett he then forced the door.
Mrs. Bulls body was found lying
across the bed with what appeared
to be stab wound below the right
breast The body Of Col. Bull was
found in another part Of the room,
resting on its knees. The faces Of
both were so badly distorted as to
bear very little resemblance to human
beings. Col. Bull was a wealthy real
estate man and an old soldier, having
served through the war in an Ohio
regiment.
The coroner's jury held long SEES
sion last night, but could not reach
verdict. A theory is advanced that
the deaths were caused by the par
ties being overcome by natural gas.
