MACK HURST, AN INDIANA STONE
MASON, CALLS HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN TOGETHER TO DIE.
.EXPLODES DYNAMITE In
HIS WIfE'S BEDROOM
HE AND ONE DAUGHTER INSTANT
LY KILLED, WHIAE HIS WIFE
AND TWO DAUGHTERS WERE
FATALLY INJURED.

Bloomington, Ind, Sept. 19,-Mack
Hurst, a stone mason, dynamited his
house here early today, killing him
self and one daughter, and fatally in
turing two other daughters, in addi-
ton to demolishing the house. Mrs.
Hurst, in a remarkable manner es-
capped injury.
The dead:
Mack Hurst, so years old.
Maud Hurst, 16 years old.
Fatally hurt:
Fannie Hurst, 13 years old, one leg
blown off and body mangled; almost
unrecognizable.
Elizabeth Hurst, 6 years old, body
unrecognizable.
But little is known of the tragedy
| beyond the results.
Mrs. Hurst, who escaped injury,
how, she says, she does not know, says
that the man awoke his family at 2
O'Clock this morning and called them
all together in his bedroom.
After they had all entered he closed
and locked the door and spoke only
these five words:
I'VE will all die together" Then
he picked up a stick of dynamlUe
which was lying on the floor near him
and threw it under the bed Thei e
was a deafening roar and Mrs. Hurst
remembered nothing more until she
came to consciousness at. the home of
a neighbor nearly an hour later.
The noise of the explosion awoke
the whole city. Police and firemea
hastened to the scene and at once
began a search of the ruins. The
bodies of Hurst and his dead daugh-
ter were found in a mass of debris at
the rear of the house.
The other two daughters were i'll
another part of the ruins. Both were
unconscious and it was some time be-
fore they were revived. Neither was
able to tell anything of the occur
renee.
The shock of the explosion wreck
ed the house, and was felt in the
whole immediate neighborhood. Every
pane of glass for block around was
broken and other minor damage done
homes in the vicinity.
Hurst, who was a stone mason, but
who had not been working for some
time, had been acting strangely CT
late, and an inquisitorial body had
declared him insane
1t was not thought, however, that
his insanity was of a violent kind, and
no preparation for his custody had
been made. 1t is supposed that h
suddenly became worse and while Ill
frenzy committed the act
Hurst had been separated from his
wife for six weeks and yesterday she
refused to take him back. 1t is be-
lieved that he then, in a fit of insan-
ity, determined to wipe out the entire
family consisting of his wife and
!, children. The dead girl met the fate
intended for her mother, the fact that
!, they had changed beds for the night
costing the girl her life. Hurst, at
ter stealthily, in the darkness, plant
ing a stick of dynamite under each Of
the three girls in the house, tied two
sticks to his own body, crawled intC
the bed which he had formerly occu.
pied with his wife, but which las
night contained the three daughters
