Home.

Springfield, Mass.-His demand for
money having been ignored, a
masked burglar, who had entered
the drawing room of the residence Of
Mrs. Sarah j. Dow on Round Hill, in
the northern part of the city, in the
evening, shot and killed Miss Martha
B. Blackstone, So, public school
teacher, and probably fatally wounded
Miss Harriet P. Dow, fellow
teacher.
Murderer Escapes.
Miss Blackstone was shot through
the heart as she ran screaming into an
adjacent room. Miss Dow's skull was
fractured and trepanning will be re-
sorted to in an effort to save her life.
The murderer escaped through the
grove which surrounds the house.
Miss Blackstone was graduated from
Smith college in 1898. The police say
that in a general way the crime resem-
bles those of the man who terrorized
the city last fall.
Mrs. Dow, her two daughters and
Miss Blackstone, who was a guest
for the night, were seated in the liv-
ing room of the house about a small
table. solving picture puzzle. The
first intimation they had of an intruder
was a demand for money from the din.
ing room. They looked up to see a
masked man in the dark doorway,
threatening them with revolver.
One Woman Dies Immediately.
Mrs. Dow retained her composure
and replied: 1--WE have no money"
but Miss Blackstone in fright jumped
to her feet and ran screaming into a
reception room to the right of the
living room. The burglar said: IF
you want to be killed keep on scream
Ing" and fired as he spoke. Death
followed instantly. The murderer
hardly paused to see his victim fall
before he turned the revolver on the
group, shooting Miss Harriet Dow in
the head. He then ran to the front
door, leaped over the piazza railing
and disappeared. The police have no
clew to his identity.

Long and Short TIanl.

Tom McNeal had an experience with
the long and short haul that he will
not forget very soon. He has told
many stories on others, so here is one
on him:
The newspaper boys were to have
driven through from Topeka and
picked McNeal up at Holton but the
wires got crossed and the meeting was
switched to Whiting McNeal stayed
with the first orders and visited at
Holton. The war correspondents auto
drove on to Whiting and when McNea1
failed to show up he had to be located
on the phone at Holton. He hired an
auto, and was driven to Whiting,
twelve miles distant but driven
around by Netawaka. a 17-mile route.
The driver demanded pay for seven
teen miles out and II back. After
for thirty-four miles. When McNeal
got to Netawaka for dinner Tom dis
covered he had left his grip in the
hired auto. He phoned the driver,
who was still at Whiting. Yes. the
driver would bring his grip by Ne
tawka, but he would have to charge
dollar for coming five miles out
