Cured here, and which cost the lives
Of Mrs Edward Lett and her three
children, was held yesterday when the
mother and children We're buried to-
gether. The funeral took place from
the Presbyterian church, and was at
tended by several hundred people. The
husband and father of the unfortunate
victims, was so overcome that he was
led blindfolded from the church to the
home of a neighbour, where he was
closely guarded, not being permitted to
attend the services at the cemetery.
Coroner's Jury Investigates.
County Attorney Fellen came down
from Logan and at his request the corr
oner's jury was reconvened, when At
torney Fallen held prolonged investi-
cation of the case. Several neighbors
were summoned and examined but, as
nothing Of suspicious character was
developed, the jury returned verdict
of accidental death. A neighbor who
was first on the scene, testified that
the little four-room house was on fire
turnout when he reached the place.
How and from what source the fire or
iginated, was not developed and prob
ably never will be.

Parents Die Tragic Death.
It is regarded as singular coinci-

tragic deaths. About three years ago
the family, consisting Of three sons
and one daughter, resided near Allan
tic. One night the father, named Ma
her, in a fit of temporary insanity,
killed his wife and then committed SUI
icide. 1t was this fact which led the
people of Missouri Valley to fear that
Mrs. Lett had similarly disposed Of
herself and her children. Nothing bear

veloped as the domestic life Of the I'M
fortunate woman was happy one.
