KILLED HIS FAMILY
Terrible Deed of Rich Farmer Who
Went Insane.

st. Louis, March 13-Adolph Krauss,
a German farmer, living 25 miles east
of st. Louis zeal Bellefontaine, last
night killed his wife and six children
with a sledgehammer. He then
knocked himself unconscious with the
hammer and at midnight was dying.
1t is believed that Krauss sudden
ly became insane. He had the repu-
tation among his neighbors of being
an ~inoffensive, industrious farmer and
nc other cause for the crime but in
sanity has been assigned.
About Z O'Clock John Krauss, a
brother, went to Adolph's house to
call. The lights were out, but the
door was unlocked and this aroused
his suspicion that something was
wrong. He entered the house and
upon striking a light was Mortified to
find that there had been a tragedy.
From all that can be learned, Adolph
krauss entered the house sometime
yesterday afternoon, armed with a
sledgehammer. He struck his wife
in the head killing her instantly, then
selling the first child, aged -, he
dealt her a murderous blow.
The other five children we're killed
similarly, the last being a six-months'-
old baby. Krauss then placed the
seven bodies side by side on the floor
in one room. He then seized the ham
mer and death himself a blow on the
skull which fractured it and knocked
him unconscious, his body falling al

NO HAND HELD ENGINES THROTTLE

Butte, March 12.-With no hand on
the throttle and the body of an uncon-
scious engineer hanging from the cab
window a Montana Central freight
the Woodville tunnel this morning. In
the blackness and with the roar of
the train in his ears John Harwood,
the fireman, knew nothing of the
danger until the locomotive shot into
daylight again. After it had lurched
around a sharp curve he discovered
the trouble.
Then he laid his companion on the
floor of the cab and, while a brake
man dashed cold water into the white
face, Harwood brought the train into
Butte.
]. E. Seeligen, the engineer, was
taken to his home, at 718 South Sec
ond street. There he told his story.
He had been struck by an icicle or a
falling rock in the approach to the
tunnel. He saw the blackness Of
the tunnel ahead, then felt a shock
and knew nothing until he found 9TH
ers working over him.
Harwood had closed the fire box
door before the train entered the tun-
mel. He sat at his post until it had
passed through. Then he glanced
across the cab and saw Seeligen lean
ing from the window.
He Did Not Move.
II thought he was looking at the
drivers" said he. land l paid no at
tention to him. Then l heard the
brakeman call out. He said, Some

went over to him and touched him on
the shoulder. He did not move. Then
l pulled him back in. There was a
large bruise on the side of his head
and he was unconscious.
THE brakeman came into the cab.
He worked over Seeligen while / ran
the train in. l think an icicle struck
him, as there are some large ones
just before you enter the tunnel. 1t
might have been a falling rock. They
sometimes drop in the approaches.
The warning post is too far from the
track to have struck him under any
ordinary circumstances. He "a able
to mutter a little before we reached
Butte, but he did not really o
consciousness until we had pulled into
the yards.
Wound Not Fatal.
DR.. Thomas j Murray attended

produced only al severe conclusion.
There will be MP serious results.
Trainmen state that had HARDWOOD not
beer an experienced fireman and had
his wits about him a serious accident
might have resulted.
The scene of the accident is about
two miles from Butte. A deep rock
cut forms the approach to the tunnel
on the WoodvilAe side. The freight
on which Seeligen runs is a local be-
tween Butte and Woodville.
