FAMILY .eUIcHERED.
Missouri Farmer, wife and Children
=, Killed.

y. Maryville. Mo-, Nov. 21.-oda Hub
bell, q farmer near Barnard, Ma, and
his. wife. and two children were shot
and killed at their home last night by
an unidentified person who set fire to
their house to conceal the crime.
Hubbell and his wife were each 30
years old. The children were Jessie, 6
years and Welton, years. This con-
stituted the entire family.
Neighbors heard shots at the Hub
bell home last night but no one made
any effort to investigate the case. At
midnight it was discovered that the
Hubbell home was burning and people
in the neighborhood hurried to assist
in extinguishing the flames.
When this was accomplished the
charred bodies Of the two children
were found in bed where they appeared
to have been killed while sleeping.
Hubbell's body was found lying on the
floor in another room. Mrs. Hubbelrs
body was found in bed. It is believed
she was shot without warning. Hubbell
is thought to have struggled with the
murderer. There is not clue to the
identity Of the murderer.
: Maryville, Mo-, Nov. 21.-Late this
afternoon, Hezekiah Roscoe Of Bar
nard was placed under arrest in con-
nection with the Hubbard crime. The
evidence against Roscoe is purely cir
ecumstantial. It is said Hubbell had
won q large amount Of money from
him in q card game.
