 Fatal Result.

Conway, Dec 28. Two parties of young people in buggies, the one trying to pass the other, who refused to be beaten in the race, led to a fatal accident near this place yesterday. Miss Brady was the victim.
 Miss Brady, accompanied by another young lady and escorted by young man named Middle ton, were returning in a single buggy from a Christmas tree fes- tival near Enola, in this (Faulk- ner) county.

DROWNED IN SPRING.

Texarkana, Dec. 28. Henry Platz, a citizen of Texarkana since 1878, met an untimely and deplorable death at 6 o'clock this morning.
 The deceased resided in the East Side suburb known as Col lege Hill. and on his place some 150 yards from the house was spring with a large barrel in it, the water being about five feet deep.
 Early this morning the deceas- ed arose from bed and as was his usual custom took a bucket and went down to the spring to get a bucket of water. He failed to return in reasonable time and the family becoming uneasy about him sent one of the boys to see what was the matter.
 The latter found his father dead drowned in the spring, his head at the bottom and his heels sticking out at the top. He had evidently been dead some minutes when found.

ER MYSTERY MAY BE SOLVED. Coroner's Inquest Grinding Down Evidence Which Promises to
 Reveal Identity of Mur- 4 derers of Two Wo- men.

8&kk
 W The inquest hearing upon the murder of Mrs. Amelia Mauldin, 3 whose body was found horribly x outraged Christmas morning Y upop thY Jacksonport road, was ->s1r ~ Thursday morning at
 lock before Justice Guy
 And the evidence that is lecured promises to solve
 }sterious double murder.
 { disappearance of Mrs.
 tel Kinkannon leaves little y1iance to doubt that the daugh- ter's fate was also that of the mother.
 The investigation has gone much further than the Independ- ent can state, for the premature publication of the facts might defeat the ends of justice. But f,.om the evidence which we are allowed ', to give, the circum- stances point strongly to the guilt of two men who were seen by several witnesses following the two women on the railroad track near the Confederate park.
 TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES.
 James Kinkannon, a gray haired man of 60 years, tall and emaciated, was first introduced. He is the husband and father of the two and when he had told his story to the jury burst into tears. The mother and her daughter had. left their camp across White river about 8:45 Christmas morn ing, and of the former he had never heard since they left for Jacksonport to find out where Mauldin was and whether sick, for he had left for Batesville the previous Monday.
 James Thomas, the negro hack driver, was recalled, and. told of passing two men not more than a hundred yards behind Mrs. Kinkannon and daughter. One was negro, very black, he thinks, and the other a white man. The negro was walking ahead of his companion, who wore mustache. Witness didn't think he could identify the men.
 Next came the boy, Perry Kin kannon. who mad roWed his mother and sister across the river an hour before the tragedy. His story of the purpose of this visit and that his sister had never received any attention ex- cept from Mauldin corroborated the testimony of the father.
 J. w. Stafford, the most inn portant witness, who is a pearler camping on White river at the park, saw the two women pass, whorn he knew well. Lewis AL white and son Newton then came up and to them he talked for several minutes. About ten :. minutes after the two women passed, Allwhite, who wore a light striped coat and blue over alls with black hat, and son, dressed in dark clothes and gray cap, left in northeasterly direc- tion for Jewell Wyatt's, intend ing to cross the track and look at some traps they had set. Neither was drinking.
 About four minutes later wit ness saw two men going north on the Choctaw track and thought both were white and was positive they were not the Allwhites. The near man and smallest in stature wore dark suit and cap and the taller had on dark pants. The nearer man was staggering and Mrs. Stafford remarked that he

A DOUBLE MURDER.

A curious murder case has just been
ended in Webster county, Neb., and the
murderer, Frank Barker, who is %, has
been taken to Lincoln to be hanged at
the State penitentiary on September 16.
Dan Barker and his wife Alice lived on
an S0-acre farm, just out of the village
of Inavale. With them resided Frank.
Together the boys, the sons Of an old
settler titled the farm and divided the
profits. The farm belonged to Dan, but
Frank made enough from his labor to
dress well and to own horse and
buggy. He fixed his affections upon
Lizzie Runkle, pretty, fair-haired
girl, the district school teacher. She
loved him, but refused to marry him
until he could provide her with home.
He saw nothing ahead for him in
the country or the village, and brood
ed over his inability to furnish the
home she insisted upon. He made up
his mind to kill his brother and take
possession of the farm. One Sunday
evening last February he called on
Miss Runkle and accompanied her
to church. Afterward they sat to-
gether for long time discussing their
future He told her that he had bought
out Dan and Alice, that they had al
ready gone to Denver to live and that he
was to pay them 81, 600 for the house,
stock and furniture. She told him she
would marry him within 10 days, fixing
March as the day. Frank started for
Dams home after leaving her. The
door was locked, and in response to his
knock Dan came and opened 1t. No
sooner had he turned his back than
Frank shot him dead. His wife, in the
next room, heard the shot, and, rolling
herself in the covers of the bed, sought
to escape the murderer's bullets. He
pulled her, wrapped as she was, to the
floor and fired shot after shot into her
BODY. Next the murderer wrapped up
the two bodies, and, carrying them to
the barnyard, pulled up several boards
from the floor of the cattle shed, aud
there, under a shallow covering OF
dirt and straw, concealed them.
When the two were missed Frank
said they had sold out and gone West.
The story was so improbable that the
aeighbors organized searching party
and shortly afterwards unearthed the
bodies. Frank denied all knowledge oi
the crime, but, after his speedy convic-
ton, he confessed it. The principal
witness against him was Miss Runkle'
1t was her story that furnished the mo
tive for;the crime. After his arrest she
sent him back all the presents, watch
and several rings he had given her, and
tore up his picture. And, yet, he dc
not turn upon her. As she stepped of
the witness stand he said to his attor
n,y "How good and pretty she looks.
Less than a year ago an uncle OF Bark
er, living IL miles distant, killed
widow who had refused to marry hin
and then slaughtered her three childre"
For a week he was the object of IN. 4
hunt, extending over halt dozen coun
ties. He was finally found dead cave
having taken poison and shot himself tt
avoid capture.

STOPPED BULL FIGHT.

Incensed over their failure to see a
"genuine Spanish bull fight" which
the authorities had ordered stopped, a
riot was started in the arena near the
Worlds Fair grounds in st. Louis yes
terday evening by crowd OF 2, 500 men
and BOYS, who were unable to get their
money back, and the building was burn
ed to the ground. The price of admis-
sion charged was 81. Pour men were
placed under arrest by the authorities OF
St. Louis county, charged with destruc-
ton of property. The crowd, thinking
these men were connected with the
show. made an attempt to mob them,
and in their encounter with the deputy
sheriffs number were roughly handled
and some received scalp wounds. The
building is said to have cost 81, 800. 1t
is a total loss. The initial performance
by the company of Spanish bull fighters
had been advertised widely yesterday,
but Gov. Dockery, to whom numerous
protests had been made by religious and
humane societies, ordered that IL should
not be allowed to take place.
Despite these orders large crowd as
sembled in the arena at the advertised
time of opening. Before the regular
performance number of cowboys drov,
in some bulls, which they ran around
the arena in true wild West style. Th'
crowd soon became tired ofthis, and call
ed for the bull fight. The announce
meut was then made that the bull fgh
would be proceeded with. As the mata
dors came into the ring a county ofhcla
stepped up to the announcer and hande'
him a paper informing him that the pro
nosed show could not take place. Whel
th;s became known to the crowd the.
leaned into the arena and demanded tn
retprn of their money. Failing to &c
.h;s the crowd went to the Office, whicl
was locsted in small building outsid
the arena, and began to stone the strue
ture. This was followed by attempts
