HORRIBLE DEED Of
MURDEROUS LUHATIG
WIFE AND SIX CHILDREN SLAIN
WITH A POKER
letter Left by ]. 7. Grant Of Benton.
Ark, Gives CIew to His Ssnes
Of KilhngA

Benton, Ark.-Bereft Of his reason
through worry over business and family
troubles, James T. Grant killed his FAM
lily of seven persons except one son
and then hanged himself TO 3 rsfter in
the barn where his body was found.
From indications in the rooms, Grant
killed his wife, to whom he had been
married but four months, while she vas
sitting in an armchair in front Of the
fireplace. He then went to the room
occupied by his two daughters and using
the same club he killed his wife with,
Drained them. From the indications one
of the girls put up a fight as the bed
was broken down and things generally
were in confusion. He next went to
the room occupied by his three little
sons and killed them as they slept. And
lastly he killed his wife's son, q little
boy of two years. Completing his mur.
derous work, he repaired to the barn
and hung himself. The Oldest son, Hugh,
came home from a neighborhood party
at midnight and on entering the room
occupied by his brothers and discovering
them dead, he made a hasty departure to
a nearby neighborhood. The people were
aroused, but fearing that the father was
still living, no one would go near the
place until daylight, when his body was
found and entry to the house was made,
where q horrible sight met the gaze of
the large number of men that had as
sembled. Blood was everywhere, all the
heads of the victims being beaten to a
pulp.
A letter was found on Grants person
in which he said he had become despond.
ent and preferred death to living and as
there was no one to care for his children
he preferred that they go to heaven
rather than to leave them to suffer on
earth.

New School of Burglars.

New York.-Graduates of the newer
school in burglary operated on a safe
in a five and ten cent store in Harlem
and got away with nearly $4,000 in
cash. The men entered by way of a
skylight, drew electricity from a live
wire to operate their drill and with
nitro-glycerine easily blew off the safe
door. Beside the safe were found kid
gloves which the burglars evidently had
used to avoid leaving finger prints, which
recently have led to the arrest and in.
dictment of several alleged burglars.

Mexico City.-Death may be the pen
atty Gen. Bernardo Reyes will pay for
his effort to overthrow President Ma

provides these extremes for the crime Of

believed that the extreme penalty will
be inflicted, but a term in the peniten-
tiary for the venerable prisoner, with

the equivalent.
