Pierre.-The only figures available
Sterling headquarters here, which
place the plurality of Sterling over
Gamble at 900. The semi-official re-
turns filed with the secretary of state
sustain practically these claims so far.
The late returns cut the majority
down to the figure given, after deduct
ing counties which We're last to send
anything definite.
Semi-offcial figures on 3S out OF 81
counties give Hepperle lead of 1875
The same class of returns on 35 coun-
ties give Policy a lead of over 5000
over Corson for the supreme bench,
and Gates lead of 1921 over Haney.
While it is possible that Haney may
yet retain his place on the bench, the
trend of the figures coming in is not
favorable.

A SHOCKING CRIME
FAMILY OF SIX AND THEIR TWO
GUESTS MURDERED AT vIL-
LIscA, IOWA.
NEIGHB0Rs MAKE DISCOVERY
Delay of Joseph 3. Moore, the Father,
in Reaching His Place of Business,
Causes Clerk to Institute a Search
and the Finding of the Bodies.

Villisca, Io.-Twenty hours after
the murder of the entire family OF
Joseph Moore and two young lady
guests, eight in all. which occurred
Sunday night. the authorities were
unable TO secure a single trace of the
murderer and have little or no clew
to his identity.
The murderer killed every person
in the house and escaped without dis
covery. 1t is apparent he had key
to the door of the Moore home, but
all doors and windows were found
locked.
A list of the victims is: Joseph
B. Moore, Mrs. J. b. Moore, Herman
Moore, aged IL; Catherine Moore.
aged 8; Boyd Moore, aged 4 Paul
Moore. aged 6: Lena Stillings, aged
10; Ina Stillings, aged 8.
The Misses Stillings were over
night guests at the Moore home.
The first intimation of the crime
was secured when a clerk in the i'm
plement house of Mr.. Moore went to
the Moore home to ascertain the
cause OF Mr.. Moore's delay In reach
Ing business. Finding the house lock
ed, the window shades all down and
no one about, he notified the neigh
bors and with assistance forced an
entrance to the house
The dead people, with one excep-
tion, were found in their beds in nat
ural attitudes of sleeping, and until
the crushed condition of their heads
and the bloody and brain soaked pill
lows were discovered it was impossi-
bic for the searchers to believe that
ANYTHING was wrong in the house, and
several of the volunteers were forced,
from the terrible situation revealed, to
seek the outer air. A bloudy ak, with
hair and pieces Of the brain matter
ciinging to it. obviously the instru-
ment used in perpetrating the crimes,
was found in an upstair room where
1t was left by the assassin after he
had completed his deadly work. ;.
