BRUTALLY MURDERED
Albert Rumfelt, Near Maynard, Murdered In
Bed-Brother Accused Of Crime

A very brutal and cold-blooded
murder was committed just across
the line in the edge of Missouri, a
few miles above Maynard, on last
Friday night, when some unknown
person or persons entered the home
of Albert Rumfelt, age about 21
years, and literally blew the top of
his head off with shotgun. The muir
dered man and an elder brother,
Martin Rumfeld, were "batching"
together, and the story, as told by
the latter is that sometime near mid
night someone entered the house
with gun and began firing. He
made his escape, after having been
fired upon several times, and aroused
the neighbors, who, on returning to
the house with him found the
younger brother in bed with the
top of his head blown off. Coroner
Proctor of Doniphan went to the
scene the following day and held
an inquest over the body of the
murdered man. AT the inquest, it
is said, damaging evidence was
brought outagainst Martin Rumfelt,
connecting him with the murder OF
his brother, and he was promptly
arrested and placed i'll jail at Doni
phan to await the action of the
grand jury.
On the night of the murder oI
young Rumfelt some heartles,
scoundrel set fire to the large barr
of Albert Taylor, a wealthy farmer
of that vicinity, and burned it tC
the ground, together with severa
i thousand bushels of corn, five tom
of hay, a couple of good worl
mules, a S400 jack, and other val
liable property. Mr.. Taylor's los
is estimated at So, 900 with no in
surance. 1t is the general opinion
of the people in that neighborhooc
that the person who set fire to tn,
barn was the same that committed
the murder. The distance from th,
fire to the place of the murder wal
less than mile.

Thanksgiving Day

The good old feast day, the
national Thanksgiving day will
soon be here again. President
Roosevelt following the ancient
custom of former presidents, has is
sued proclamation setting apart
Thursday, Nov. 26, as the national
Thanksgiving day this year, calling
upon all the people to cease from
their daily work, and in their
homes and places of worship to
meet and give thanks to Almighty
God for the many and great bless.
ings received in the past, and to
pray that they may be so directed
by the Divine hand, in their lives,
as to serve continuance of these
blessings and privileges in the
future. This custom began in the
days when the Pilgrim Fathers rec
ognized the favor of God in the
bountiful harvests that followed the
famine, the comfort that followed
the suffering anc loss of many
precious lives, and met together
with thanksgiving, prayer and a
social feast. 1t has come to be
more of home day than a church
day, but it need not he any less
sacred day. 1t is peculiarly al
American custom. No other nation
has anything like 1t, because they
had not the peculiar condition tina
produced it. Let us then remem
ber the recommendation ofour chic
Executive and as we are anticipating
a feast of good things in our homes
let us, like the origlnat0rs OF on
custom, who after praying for need
ed comforts, when they saw tn
long delayed ships coming int
port with those comforts, first wen
to the house of God and gave thank
for the answer to their prayer. lie
