Hands of "Wiid Westerners'
in New York.

New York-The mother of seven
year-old William Farno of 526 Nor
ris avenue, Bronx, went to awake him
for school the other day, and found
him covered with blood. She ran to
his father, who summoned Policeman
Cramb. The policeman found the boy
was suffering from a gunshot wound
in the groin. At Lincoln hospital it
was said he is in serious condi-
ton.
Young Farno was shot the other
evening, but concealed it from his
parents, going to bed early. In a

MURDERED IN ONE HOUSE
Family of Six and Two Girl Visitors
Found Slain.

wife, three sons and daughter, and two
other girls, Lena and Ina Stillings.
friends of the Moores, were found
murdered in the Moore home Their
heads had been crushed and an ak COW
cred with blood and hair was found.
The eight victims were murdered in
their beds. There is no definite clue
to the murderer, although search is
being made, it is aid, for one person
suspected by the authorities. No rob-
berry was committed, and it seems that
only desire for revenge could have
prompted the murder, unless the work
was done by madman.
Owing to the terrible mutilation the
identity of the girl visitors could not
at first be established.

McGraW,s Salary.

John McGraw's salary as manager
of the New York Nationals for the
next five years will total reasonably
close to 100000 That sounds pretty
big, but the $4,000 that McGraw re-

doubt seem pitifully small in compar-

will get. The salaries of managers
