WOMAN STAYS HUSBAND
AND LITTLE DAUGHTER
Says She Didn't Know What
She Was DOing-SmalI
Son Was Spared.

Harrisonville, Mo-. June "a
Mrs. Arthur Kellar late to-day con-
fessed that she killed her husband
and daughter Margaret, years old,
last Tuesday. Kellar and the girl
were slain with an axe when lying
in their beds.
The confession, which was signed
by Mrs. Kellar, brought to a quick
termination the Coroners inquest,
that had been in session two days
in an attempt to place the respon-
sibility for the murder. The jury
returned q verdict, holding the wo-
man to be guilty. Mrs. Kellar was
taken to Jail.
God knows I would not have
killed them had | known what I
was doing" Mrs. Keller said in
her confession She declared she
frequently had been irresponsible
for her acts since she received a
blow on the head two years ago.
After telling of the Staying of her
husband and daughter, Mrs. Kellar
said she picked up the ak and broke
Il piece OFF irer own bed, that she
might make it appear that she also
had been attacked. With this done
she went to the neighbors and told
the story of a mysterious man,~who
fled as she awakened after he had
struck at her with an ak. but had
failed to hit her and had struck the
bed instead.
The confession was made through
the efforts of detective, who yes
terdays and to-day passed much time
questioning Mrs. Kellar and her
five-year-old son George. The boy
is declared to have informed the
detective that his mother told him
to say man had come to the house
and killed his father and sister.
George was asleep in another room
In the house at the time the crime
was committed.

RICH HAUL MADE IN
C0N1RABANO LIQUOR
Town Marshal and Sheriff Raid
Greensboro Stage With
Search Writ. y

For some time (some years in
facU past it has been generally un-
derstood that liquor was being
brought from Greensboro to Hart
ford in wholesale quantities via the
stage line which runs between the
two places. 1t was only until last
Saturday, however, that any officers
of the law got active in the matter
to apprehend the contraband goods.
Hartford and Ohio county are pro-
hibition districts, but the presence
of liquor is frequently evident.
Late last Saturday evening Mar
shall ]. p. Stevens and Sheriff r. II.
Black. having in hand a search
writ issued by County Judge We'd
ding and County Attorney Smith,
proceeded to stop the stage of Rich
ard Stewart, just in from Ovens
boro, and search it for Intoxicating
liquors. Their search proved very
fruitful. Inside the stage, neatly
fixed up in boxes, they found over
% gallons of whiskey and two
mostly in bottles; half-pints, pfnts
and quarts, and one four-gallon jug
of booze The beer cases held four
dozen pint bottles each. The wet
goods was unloaded and stored
away at Sheriff Blacks residence.
1t bore no tag or address.
There seems to have been come
fault in the issuance of the search
writ, as the driver of the stage was
not apprehended, but allowed to go.
1t is said he has left town The
case, however, was taken before
the grand jury Monday. 1t is sup
posed this liberal supply of booze
was destined for our colored sub
urb of Hayti. as rumors of an ever
ready stock of liquor there have
been current for years.
~ Just why our municipal or court
officials have not turned this trick
sooner and looked into this stage
business. is not explained At pres
ent there is no legal way in which
liquor may be brought to Hartford,
except a fellow may go and bring
not more than gallon for his own
use. He cannot legally bring any
quantity whatever for anybody else.
free or otherwise. Drug stores and
licensed physicians are allowed to
have intoxicating liquor shipped to
them in quantities not exceeding
five gallons, but they are are not
allowed to sell it. either from the
case or in prescription in intoxi-
eating quantities, which makes this
privilege void.
The capture OF this generous
quantity of booze created consider
able comment here.
