Trmmmm Huh Hear Barlu, la Pru- j aer Kilted Wkila Trying U Ec up. Almost a Lynching. Petersburg, Ind., Ky 20. A horri ble tragedy occurred about one mil oath of this place, resulting in the death of William Johnson and Lafe Sprinkles. There were no witnesses to the terrible tragedy enacted by them. Tbey had been in town all day, in the saloon drinking freely. They started for their home together in Sprinkle's DnSgy. about 8:iW o'clock, An hour later Joanna Dean noticed a horse and buggy come np to his gate and stop. He went out and was horrified to find the lifeless body of Johnson on the seat ot the buggy, his head renting ou the cushion. Blood was flowing freely from two pistol shot wounds. In the bottom of the buggy were two re volvers, from one of which one shot bad been fired and from the other four. Bot revolvers were concealed within handkerchiefs, which were partially burned. - This fact indicates that the horrible deed must have been premed itated by both men and the weapons concealed before starting. Dean immediately aroueed a neighbor and they together, went back over the road. They came upon the body of Sprinkles by the roadside, where he had fo lien from the buggy. He was suffer ing intensely from a mortal wound in the chest. A physician was summoned, but Sprinkles died shortly after his ar rival. He was conscions up to the time of bis death, but would say nothing about the cause of the tragedy, A Mother' Awful Work. Harlan, la., May 26.

Near him the mother, half . kneeling, was seen. All were quite dead. The children and mother were all neatly dressed, but none wore shoes. Their feet were cov ered only with stockings. Mrs. Pederson left a letter telling of her financial affairs, speaking of $ 150 in the bank, held by her, and (13 in silver in the house. This money is to be used in burial. Other Krtions of the letter relate to farm matters, she stating that the place is paid for and that nothing can be held against it.
