BuTCHERED IN THEIR BEDS
Two Feml,les Esterminated at Coi-
orado Sprinss--Heads Smashed
With Ak.

Colorado Springs, Col.-Butchered
in their beds by some person as yet
unknown, who used an axe, the
bodies OF six persons. three in each
of two neighboring houses, were
found here Wednesday. The heads
of all the victims had been smashed
in and the appearance OF the bodies
indicated that they had been dead
several days, and that death came
while they slept
A report says that the murderer
has been caught and that he has con-
fessed, but this is denied by the po-
lice officials, who, 1t is intimated, fear
lynching might follow such an an
nouncement. An axe which had been
loaned to Mrs. Henry +. Wayne, one
of the victims, by j. r. Evans, a
nelghbor, last week, was found blood
stained by Mrs. Evans on Monday
near the back door of the Wayne
home. No attention was paid TO this
fact, however, as II was thought the
axe had been used in killing chick
ems.
The dead:
Mrs. Alice May Burnham, wife OF
A. j. Burnham, cook at the Modern
Woodmen Sanitarium.
Alice, aged six, and John, aged
three years, their two children.
Henry +. Wayne, consumptive,
until recently patient at the Wood
men Sanitarium.
Mrs. Wayne and her one-year-old
baby girl
The Burnham house is situated at
Dale street and Harrison Place, and
the two houses next to 1t on Dale
street are vacant. Directly in the
rear is the Wayne home and close to
It is that of Evans.
The discovery of the bodies was
made by a neighbor who called at
the Burnham home. Not getting any
response and noticing strong odor,
she forced an entrance. The bodies
/ of Mrs. Burnham and those of her
two children were found in their
beds, which were covered with blood,
and the walls and ceiling were also
spattered.
The woman rushed to the street
and gave the alarm. lnstinctively a
dozen persons went to the Wayne
house, where there had been no signs
of life since Sunday and the same
terrible scene was presented. In bed
we're the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wayne and their baby, all horribly
mangled as in the case of the bodies
| in the Burnham house.
J That such a crime had been COM
mitted in a thickly settled neighbor-
hood and left unrevealed for three
days is regarded as incredible. Not
even footprint is to be found on the
floor OF either house, and no one
could be found who had seen any
one about the premises since Sun
day when all the murdered parsons
at different times were In a neigh
boring grocery.

RISE IN FOOD STUFFS.
This Time Il 10 3 aimed on Result
In Canada.

Chicago. .-Foodstuffs which might
have been affected by an influx of
Canadian products had Laurier and
his government not been defeated in
Canada Thursday, rose sharply in
prices In all American supply centers
Friday. Wheat led the advance and
was followed late in the day by flour,
when millers ignored their previous
price lists and adjusted their Quota
tlons to figures more commensurate
with the advanced cost of the grain
staple.
Oats, too. felt the effect OF the
Canadian vote and as a result con-
sumers may expect soon to pay in
creased prices for breakfast foods.
The initial meal of the day, in fact,
seems destined to bear the brunt of
higher living costs within the next
few months, as 1t needed only to-
days developments in the trading
pits to add force to the recent ad-
vances In coffee and sugars. The
consumers toast and biscuit wheat
cakes and porridge, IT is probable,
will but add to the woes OF the
housekeeper.

Following the store robbery and
shooting OF a policeman in Cleveland
by a boy. infiamed by stories OF Wild
West life and highwaymen. council
man of that city has introduced an
ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
trashy and immoral books to the
youth. There should be such legisla-
tion In every city. says the Ohio State
Journal. We spend millions to edu-
cate a boy right; why not do some
thing to keep him from being educated
wrong? We have laws TO prevent peo-
pie from poisoning their bodies; why
not regulation to restrain them from
poisoning their minds? To give boy
a book that will make a highwayman
OF him is a black offense that should
not be permitted. IL is an attack on
society that society should not toll
erato. We are greatly excited upon
the question what schoolbooks shall
be furnished the children. We should
be a great deal more excited upon the
question Of keeping harmful books
away from them. Ordinances are need
ed for this purpose. There is vast
amount OF bad citizenship made by
bad books, and there are stacks OF bad
boys.

A tiny blue fame was emitting
from the engine and in an instant
the gasoline tank exploded. The
machine was wrecked by the impact
and debris was hurled hundreds OF
feet in all directions, what remained

ing almost to a crisp as they dropped
rapidly TO the earth.
1t was Miller's second fight OF the
day and the fifth and last OF the
week. In a short fight shortly al
ter noon his machine acted un-
steadily and he did not care TO go
up. The crowd ieered him in the
afternoon when he said he would not
make fight and in the evening he
went into the air Let her go, III

ed to his mechanician. Miller used
