FOUR PERSONS DEAD
FARMER KILLS THREE
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY
AND HIMSELF.

Rochester, Mich, Jan. 3.-AIarmed
by the deserted appearance of the
farmhouse Of Clarence A. Barnum. who
recently located near here, neighbors
broke into the house during the day
and found Barnum, his wife, his daugh-
ter, Louise, aged tWenty-three. and his
son Chester, aged sixteen, all lying
dead. The wife and the son and
daughter had apparently been muir
dered with an axe. A single-barreled
shotgun lying near his corpse and the
fact that his head was almost entirely
blown off showed how Farmer Barnum
himself had met his end.
The appearance of the house indi-
Gated that the family had just finished
breakfast when the insane and muir
derous frenzy of the father broke out.
Evidently there had been a terrible
struggle, as the mother and children
battled for their lives. The dining
room was all despatched with blood,
even the ceiling. Under the dining
room table lay the fathers body, a
gun across his knee. Apparently he
had taken the muzzle into his mouth
before pulling the trigger.
There was blood on the handle of
the axe, but the blade had been
washed. In the diningroom, where
the body of the father was found, lay
also that of the daughter. The sons
corpse was in the kitchen. 1t is
thought that the boy was the first at
tackled, that the mother was pursued
to and killed in the woodshed next and
that the father turned last to the
daughter imprisoned in the dining
room, where the disturbance had ap-
parently begun. The wife and son and
daughter all had their heads terribly
cut and crushed with the axe.
Barnum sold farm near Homer,
Mich, only a few months ago and To-
Gated here late in the season. 1t is
said that the harvest in his new home
did not meet his expectations and that
he had become respondent.

Good Tonic for the Hogs,

If the hogs are growing as fast and
doing as well as they can do, nothing
Is needed in the way Of medicine. But
If they are little off in any way, a
few doses of the following will straight
en- them up.
Wood charcoal, 1 pound; sulphur,
pound; sodium chloride, pounds; So
dunn bicarbonate, 2 pounds; sodium
hyposulphte, 2 pounds sodium sui
phate, l pound; antimony sulphlde,. 1
pound. Pulverize and thoroughly mix.
The dose is large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight Of hogs to be
treated, given once a day. The hogs
will eat this mixed in their food, unless
very Ill, when it should be poured into
them, mixed in water.
