CHOPPED UP HIS BROTHER
THE FEARFUL ACT OF A BROWN
COUNTY SOMNAMBULIsT.
Protection Against Burglars-NO
Legal Action Taken.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Ind, June 27.-Word was
received here late this evening of one of
the most horrible occurrences ever known
in Brown county.
John and Grover, the young sons of
Greenbury Snyder. a farmer living near
Beck's grove, south of Nashville, attend
ed an ice-cream social last night at the
home of County Superintendent Samuels.
The father OF the boys was at Columbus
undergoing treatment, and the mother was
left alone in the house. She retired before
the boys returned from the social and after
a time was disturbed by a noise in the
yard. 1t recurred for a time and then
ceased. She thought it might have been
due to the efforts of some one to enter the
house, and went to the yard, got AK
and placed it behind the door, After the
boys return she told them of the noises
and of what she had done, but they made
light of it and all retired.
Later in the night John got up it is sup
posed in his sleep. and got the ak. Going
to the room where his brother Grover was
asleep, he began to chop him with it. Gro
ver's cries aroused the mother, who has
tened to the room and took away the ak.
John seemed in a dazed condition. Grover
was very badly 'gashed in the breast, arms
and legs and when the messenger who
brought the news left that locality. was in
a dying condition.
The mother is almost prostrated by the
horrible occurrence. The father was tele-
phoned to come from Columbus, which he
did tonight. No arrests have been made,
as the act undoubtedly that of a SOM
nambulist There is great excitement in
that vicinity owing TO the horrible and
unusual nature of the occurrence.

and Indian guests are also being arranged
Thus If there shall be no setback in his
Majesty's progress, there will be partial
revival of the interrupted festivities
In an editorial article the Times suggests
utilizing the return Of Lord Kitchener to
England as a suitable occasion to organize
some kind Of ceremonial, in which Queen
Alexandra and the Prince and Princess of
Wales might participate. TO express the
national feeling Of thankfulness over the
Kings recovery. Lord Kitchener left Cape
Town for England on the Pacific Steam
Navigation COmpanys steamer Orotava
June p. He is expected TO arrive about
July II.
Relaxation OF the tension and anxiety
concerning the King is everywhere notice
able. The Cunard steamer Campania.
which left New York June q, and which
arrived at Queenstown to-day reports that
the news Of King Edwards illness. which
was transmitted to her by the Marconi
system Of wireless telegraphy from the
Cunard liner Saxonia on Thursday even
ing, had such gloomy effect on the pas
sengers that the concert which was IN
progress when the news was received was
abandoned. The satisfactory news received
at Queenstown this evening, however,
caused the greatest satisfaction.
The people are taking the greatest pride
In the Kings fortitude. 1t has been
learned that his ajesty facilitated the
preparations for the operation, and that
when the surgeons were ready he stretched
himself on the operating table, declining
assistance. Lord Warwick in proposing a
vote of sympathy for the King before the
Warwick Town Council to-day, said that
he was authoritatively informed that his
Majesty's first words after recovering con-
sciousness after the operation were: "Win
my people ever forgive me?"
King Edwards calmneSS, cheerfulneSs
and pluck are considered most favorable
auguries for a speedy recovery, and the
messages from Queen Alexandra and Sir
Francis Knollys, the Kings private sec
retary, in reply to expressions of solicitude,
and the statements of persons most famil-
lar with the situation. all bear out the con-
fident hopefulness which prevails to-day.
Liverpool was illuminate tonight in rec
ognition of the good news.

of Foreigners Destroyed.

PEKING, June 27.-The viceroy of the
province of Sze-Chuan has notified the gov
ernment that the American and British
mission buildings at Tien-Ku-Chuao have
been destroyed by a mob, and that a mis-
sionary has been murdered. His name and

An imperial edict just issued deprives the
local ma gistrate of Tien-Ku-Chuao of his
rank and orders the determination of the
rioters Several of the leaders of the out
break are reported to have been beheaded
Apparently this was an anti-indemnity ris-
ing like those which have occurred else
where in China.

300 new HOUSES,
An Era Of Building Is WOIl Under Way and
New Houses Are Seen on All Corners.

1t is probably not an eXaggeratlon
to say that there have been three
hundred new houses built in Hutch
inson in the last year or two. This
Is the number usually estimated by
theses who are best Informed on build
ing. While there have been many
cottages built, there have also been
some of the finest residences in the
city erected during this time. 1t Is
a record for any city to be proud or
II means n good healthy increase In
the population Of the city. On the
whole it Is not probable that the
needs Of the city have been exceeded
There are, just now, some empty
houses in town, but they are not
many. They are mostly in the north
paYt Of town, where they are not
easily accessible to the working peo-
pie. While property in that part Of
the city is held at higher prices and
considered more desirable for resi-
dences it does not rent so readily as
that further south.
However II may be that this should
be taken as a warning not to 0verdo
the matter Of building as was once
done. The tendency is to wait in the
building business till town has be-
come crowded and rents unreasonably
high, then to build till the supply
exceeds the demand. 1t Is under
stood that some firms are contemplate
ing building cottages quite eXtenS-
ivley for renting purposes this sum
mer. One lot Is to go up on Fiith
Avenue West, to be either rented or
sold. These will be built by Dan
Reid and Bert Allison. This is Il
great change from four or five, or
even two or three years ago when the
mortgage companies that had taken
in so much Hutchinson porperty were
selling it out for what they could
get, often at less than half what 1t
cost. Three hundred houses means
probably Il gain in the population OF
fifteen hundred. Add to this some
thing for the filling up Of empty rooms
and houses during the past two or
three years and you will probably tell
about what Hutchinson has really
been doing for herself.
