EIGHT ARE SLAIN
BY CRAZED MOTHER
Gives Children Night of
Pleasure Before She
Kills Them.

CADILLAC. Mich, June l3.-CadIlIac
IS aghast with horror over the crime
OF Mrs. Daniel Cooper, who. with pistol
and ChIoroform, killed her husband and
six children and then herself. after

Mrs. CoOper's body lay across that of
her baby girl, across d bed, and beside
her. with every chamber empty. was the
revolver with which she had slain her
family.
1t Is believed that the crazed mother
first ChlovOformed the members Of her
household before she slew them with
the pistol. for in one o. the rooms was
found four-Ounce bottle which had
contained the drug.
That the woman had cherished her
deadly design for some time was in,li-

HEROIC RESCUE TRIED
Child Knocked Into Water
by Tow Line-Physicians
Plunge After Him.

The heroic efforts of two men failed
to save Raymond Hunt, six years old,
from drowning yesterday afternoon in
the canal near Thirty-hrst street. The
lad became entangled IL the tow line of
canal boat No %. in charge of Captain
Pong, and was knocked from the tow
path into the water. DR.. R. Holdings
worth and his son, DIT. Robert HoIlings-
worth, dived into the canal and des-
perately sought 10 locate the boys body
in the muddy water. Their efforts were
in vain.
The accident occurred while the boy
was watching the movements Of a
launch on the river. He was standing
the middle of the path, his eyes fixed
on the water beyond. when the mules
drawing the boat passed him. Before
he could move he was struck by the
heavy hawser and knocked into the
canal
The two physicians, who happened to
be passing at the time, sprang into the
water without waiting to remove their
clothing. Time after time they dived
blndly cropping with their hands for the
lads body.
Finally, after an interval of ten min
utes, the dead body was brought to the
surface.
The boy was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Hunt, Of 1929 NJ street north

Captain Pong, IN command of the
canal boat, is at a loss to account for
the failure of the boys body to re-
appear Immediately on the surface. It
is supposed that became of the mud
