that it became known there during the
day that three weeks ago Joseph Letter

charge of bringing arISAl men into
the state contrary to recently passed

The indictments were returned Nov.

man embraces three counts. The first
count charges them with having felo-.
niously taken men, under armed guard,
through Perry county on their way to
Zeigler. The second charges the men
with having hired armed guards for
the same purpose. The thild charges
them with advising, aiding and abet-
ting the hiring OF armed guards and
the transportation OF men unQer guard.
The punishment for the ofanse on
which the two men have been indicted
is confinement in the apenitentiary
from one to i've years, with no ina as
>an alternative. Union miners and
railroad men in charge of the cars on
which, it is alleged, miners rode and

STEPFATHER'S BRUTAL CRIME
Kills Bridegroom and Father and Fa.
tally Wounds Brother,


Fort Worth, Tex, Dec Last
Sunday Steve Mckinney, a young
farmer, who had been paying court to
the stepdaughter of ]. NJ. Williams,
near Alvarado, failing to win Will
Jams consent to marriage, ran away
with the girl and married her. This
greatly enraged Williams, as young
Mckinney and his bride returned
home and the bridegroom went to
work on his farm. Williams sWore
vengeance, but his neighbors did not
believe a tragedy was impending.
Williams went to the town of Alva-
RADIO and bought a Winchester rife.
Then, riding out to the field where the
bridegroom, his father and brother
were at work, the en1aged man, with
out word, opened fire. The elder
Mckinney rushed TO the rescue Of his
boy and was himself shot dead. The
brother, too, sought to shield his
brother and father, but the crack Of
the rife in Williams hands ended his
effort. Steve Mckinney and his
father, D. V. Mckinney, lay dead in
the field, the remaining son being des-
perately wounded. Officers have start
ed to arrest Williams and trouble is
anticipated, as he is thoroughly des-
perate and crazed over the escapade
of the runaway. The bride is pros
trated and in a pitiable plight. Al
parties to the tragedy are respectable
and Well-tO-dO farmers.

true that Russia is watching with some
