CRAZED FARMER
, ~tss
! CUT up FAMILY
Wife and Five Children Seriously
Injured by Blows of
Hatchet.

"'etoti' ~. ~, oept. "a.
A. Peters, a farmer 40 years old,
residing near Epping, this
county, at an early hour this
morning attacked his wife and
five children with hatchet.
All were horribly mutilated,
EACH receiving dozen wounds
or more about the head. All
still live, but the wife aud one
girl are likely to die.
The oldest. boy of Is, and
the sixth child, an infant, were
unharmed. Peters placed the
muzzle of a shotgun in his
mouth and blew off the right
side of his head. He was un.
doubtedly insane when he com.
mitted the act. but appeared
rational the day before. The
wounded children and Peters
body were brought here today,
aud. the wife will be brought
tonight on the train.
Fhe family had a prolonged
struggle with the insane father.
The oldest boy succeeded in
telephoning for help, but it was
too late.

BuryInp q Knocksr.

A queer burial ceremony took
place at Enid, Okla, recently.
For some time the town had
been torn j. by dissension and
afflicted by knockers. But
during the summer the town
began a campaign to overcome
discord by uniting on a plan to
build a packing plant by the
sale of lots. The succe ssful
conclusion of the campaign was
the occasion for an immense
hammer burial, the first to be
held in the state.
The hammer was thirty feet
long and ten feet high. A
wooden frame was covered with
strawboard and draped with
black cloth. The funeral car
was wide truck draped in
black and white and drawn by
four horses. The procession
contained grotesque floats typi.
cal of the burial.
After the old hammer was
laid in the ground the mourn.
ers marched around and threw
in paper hammers. A stone
was erected at the head of the
grave. Engraved on it were
these words:
sIn memory of the old Ham.

CANNOT FINISH
WORK ON MAINE
Part Of Wreck Nay be Resub-
merged Pending New
Appropriation.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-As
much of the wrecked battleship
Maine as the available funds
will permit, will be removed or
prepared for removal from
Havana harbor, it was said to-
day, and then the mammoth
cofferdam surrounding the
ruins will be refilled with water
to await an additional appro-
priation by congress to finish
the raising operation.
Congress failed to act upon
the presidents request for an
additional 10000 and the war
department has mapped out its
plane for the expenditure of the
money on hand. which prob.
ably will be exhaused by the
time congress convenes in De.
cembet.
Because of the lack of funds,
even funeral services over the
recovered remains of the dead
and the erection in Arlington
National cemetery of the mast
of the illfated vessel as q monu-
ment to them must be post
poned. The remains and the
mast will be sent to the GENE
terry to be stored there until
congress acts.

USE CLOTHING.
FOR TORCHES
Nine Persons Adrift in Launch
in Storm on Minnesota
Lake.

Their clothing sacrificed to
make torches with which to
signal their distress, party of
nine men and women were res
cued on Spirit Lake, Mimi, in
such complete state of ex-
haustion that several of them
are still confined to their beds.
The members of the party
were the guests of Mrs. ]. Walter
Lee, society woman of Wau.
kegan and Austin aud we'll
known in Chicago social circles.
They were in small gasolene
launch on the lake when
storm broke over them. At
the same time the engine be-
came disabled and left the oc-
cupants at the mercy of wind
and waves.
Unable to return to the shore,
members of the party attempt
ed to signal their disffess By
burning first the paper wrapped
about their luncheon aud then
the wicker basket in which food
was contained. Every movable
article on the boat was sacrific-
ed and then the clothes Of men
and women were removed and
burned. The coats and hats of
the men were burned first, then
then the women removed their
shirtwaists, skirts and stock.
ings, soaked them in gasolene
and waved them from the end
of boat hook. Every one of
the torches was seen from shore
and several efforts we're made
by watchers to send boat to
the rescue of the disabled craft,
but the storm was so severe
that the boats were driven
back. Early in the morning
the storm abated and rescue
party took the exhausted men
and women ashore.
Mrs. Lee, mother of Ray F.
Lee, sO5 Crescent place, describ
ed the terrifying experience to
him in a letter received today.
She mentioned the names of
none of the members of the
party except her brother, New
ton Parvin, librarian of the Ma.
tional Masonci library at Cedar
Rapids.

A Pathway to the Mind.

In one of those institutions
that, in the old days. would
have been called an Idiot
asylum" there was a little boy
known as Peter.
For long time after his ar.
rival at the institution, Peter
was q serious problem. In all
his classes he sat staring apa
thetically before him, taking
the work that was put into his
hands, holding it patiently un-
til it was taken away, but doing
absolutely nothing with it.
However, none of his teach
ers-for in this institution they
do teach even idiots-forced or
urged him. They just kept on,
day after day, giving him the
materials for work and trying
with all sorts of gentle wiles to
interest him in what the other
children were doing.
Then at Easter someone sent
him a toy rabbit, and in the
manual training class next day
he produced this from his pock-
ct, took up his tools and began
a pitiful attempt to carve out a
copy of it in the wool tefore
him. Quick to- seize the ad-
vantage. his teacher, a young
woman of unusual pedagogical
acumen, helped and guided the
fumbling little hands until an
other rabbit actually did begin
to take form before the boys
delighted eyes.
After that there was no
trouble with Peter. A. way had
been found into his. mind, and
his sleeping faculties had been
awakened and set to work. Be.
fore long it became evident
that somewhere in his darken.
ed mentality there had been ly'
ing dormant a real gift for
wood working, and today Peter
is rapidly developing into an
excellent carpenter.

on the same farm, Cash aud
his wife in a house and John.
son in a dugout Cash recent.
ly bought the place from John
son, who filed on it seven years
ago. There was some lumber
on the place, and while Gash
was away teaching school,
Johnson went to the Cash home
ard said that the lumber be
lOnQed to him and that he waa
going to cell it. Mrs. Cash re
fused to let Johnson touch the
lumber aud johnson went away.
When Cash returned from
school, Mrs. Cash told him
about the lumber controversy
and Cash started towards the
dugout in which Johnson lived.
johnson says that he told Cash
to keep away but Cash kept on
approaching the house, and &C.
cording to the story of Mrs.
Cash, johnson shot Cash with
a shotgun at distance of
about forty feet. Mrs. Cash
says that her husband did not
have any gun.
Johnson maintains that he
shot Cash in self defense. The
shot penetrated the skull and
death followed four hours after
the shooting.
