.MADMAN DYNAMITES
HOME; TWO ARE DEAD
laraiad fIaI VIE li Sl2y'
Himself and Daughter.

Bloomington, Ind, Sept. 20.-Care-
believed the most damage would be
done, Mack Hurst, fifty years old,
stone mason, blew up his home here
with dynamite, killing himself and his
seventeen-year-old daughter, Maude,
and injuring two other children and
stunning his wife.
The injured are: Fannie Hurst, aged
thirteen, one leg broken and body lac
Grated; Elizabeth Hurst, six years old,
severely cut and bruised; Mrs. Rena
Hurst, forty-nine years old, stunned by
the explosion.
Hurst had been separated from his
wife for six weeks and she refused to
take him back. 1t is believed that he
then, in fit of insanity, determined
to wipe out the entire family, consist
ing of his wife and eight children.
The dead girl met the fate intended
for her mother, and the fact that they
had changed beds for the night cost
the daughter her life. Hurst, after
stealthily, in the darkness, planting
stick of dynamite under each of the
three beds in the house, tied two
sticks to his own body, crawled into
the bed which he had formerly occu
pied with his wife, but which contained
the three daughters, Maude, Fannie
and Elizabeth.
Fannie spoke to her father. clay
STILL" Hurst replied. 1--WE will all die
together"
Before the girl could make a move
the explosion rent the house and
aroused the entire city. The police and
fire department rushd to the scene,
snt the two injured girls to the hos
pital and cleared away the wreckage,
Four sticks of dynamite, unexploded,
were found in the ruins, and the fact
that only one, and that one attached
to Hurst's body, had exploded, &C
counted for the escape of the other
members of the family.

New York, Sept 20. = Detective!
rummaging through the effects o
Hans Schmidt, confessed murderer O

their belief that he had planned othea

Gates to undertakers' permits.
Such blanks are issued by the de
partment only to physicians in goot

With the finding of these blanks sht
police redoubled the vigor of theil
search for Helen Green, who vanished
that she could not live without him
She was believed to be in Chicago
Schmidt told the detectives that sha
was a casual acquaintance.
Raking over the past of Ernes'
Muret, the dentist friend of Schmidt
implicated with Schmidt in counter
feiting operations, Inspector Faurot
head of the detective bureau, had this
to say: 81 have learned that DR.. Murel
was in Chicago at the time of the In
vestigation into the life of johann
Hoch, the Blue Beard of Chicago IL
1905. Hoch was arrested in that veal
after, it was charged, he had killei
eighteen of his wives. There was 9
report that the number of wives would
reach fifty"
No charge in connection with Anns
Aumuller's death has been mads
against Muret, nor has a charge ol
counterfeiting yet been made againsl
him. Muret is in the Tombs await
ing sentence for having violated ths
Sullivan law in having a pistol in hi1
possession.
The whereabouts of Helen Greer
concerned the detectives more, per
haps, than any other feature of thu
case. She rented room in an apart
ment at POI West One Hundred and
Ninth street during the last two weekl
in January She kept much to hersel
and left there about month ag1
saying that she was going to Chicago

names found to have been used In
several other instances and old the
janitress that the boy was his son
No trace has been found of Helen
Green from the time she left the West
One Hundred and Ninth street apart
ment house.
Schmidt and Muret are cousins. ac
cording to information obtained from
Germany by the police. Muret's real
name, the German messages said, is
Adolf Mueller.
Schmidt's defense will be insanity

And that Schmidt's cousin, Muret, will
help to bolster up he insanity defense

FLAGS FOR 5000 SCHOOLS

Several years ago the legislature
adopted design for West Virginia
state flag but on account OF It's diff
cult color scheme 1t was not possible
to have the flags made at reasonable
prices. Secretary of State Reed has
mt last succeeded in solving the prob
lem and under his direction beau
tlful flag has been evolved, having oil
the emblems and colors originally des.
iEnated but arranged 80 as to make
the lithogrnphing and color printing
possible at q minimum cost. Eight
thousand Of these state flags will be
delivered about June first and distrih-
uted among the eight thousand schools
in the state. Up to this time very few
people have even seen the state flag
or have any we'll defined idea as tt
what It Is like. It was therefore ?
most happy conception of the Semi.
Centennial Commission to place one
in every school house In West Vir.
