Ilia barn was struck by lightning and tho Names appearod to shoot up from every corner at once, and before any of tho live stock could bo saved, tho whole building was in ruins. Ho lost threo head of mules, one horse, 400 bushels of oats, 10 tons of hay, ft sots of harness, and many other things, including farming imple ments. Ho was Insured in tho Conti nental for $21)0. "Wo hear of another cruel murdor occurring on tho Tarkio, Atchison county, Missouri, some ton miles from Hock Port. Tho best information wo can glean regarding tho affair is that tho name of tho murdered man is Robert Angel, that ho was shot down without a moment's warning by a man wo did not got his name who had formally worked for him. Tho assas sin emptied five chambers of his revol ver at his victim nearly all of which .took effect In and about his head. Ho then took about $200 from Angel's .pocket, saddled Angel's best horso and rde away. Angol when found was not 'et dead, wn conscious ami told who had shot and robbed him. Neigh bors aro scouring the country in all .ilirectioitstto catch theasissin, soma of whom)mY0'b?iip in Jlrownville. Ono hundred dollars reward is offered. The murderor is described as a rather short heavy set man, wearing dark , clothes, dark or black "moustache, and : btus a -drooping oyo lid. The horso ho t-3tolo was a. roan. Murdor at Porui A terrible tragedy was enacted at our neighbor village of Peru on J Friday last. A man by tho name of Albert Clark cut his wife's throat, killing her within a few minutes, shot and killed E, Mi Sargent, a citizen of Peru, and then drew his knife across his own throat, attempting suicide, but failed to make a fatal cut. In gathering up the details of tho affair, we find that Clark, with his wife, live children, team and lioushold goods, crossed the river at JJrownvlllo on Monday even ing of last week; that they catno from or vicinity of ('union Grove, Wayne county, Iowa, whero they had resided for several years, and wiiero Clark and his wife were married. They remain ed in tills city over night, and next morning drove out by London, ami scomed to wandor about in an aimless sort of a way, finally getting into Peru on Wednesday. While driving through tho country, as wo learned from John Leach and Mr. Meader, the man and women attracted attention by their singular conduct; acting as if dement ad, leaving their cow and scattering t it. VllUl gawto atous HIV IWMtu J lit family wero strangers in Peru, nnd tho man by his conduct and talk created tho impression that ho was crazy, but tho fatal mistake was made of believ ing him to bo inoffensive On Friday about o'clock p. in. people on Peru's main street wore startled by seeing a woman rush from hor door, and start across ths street, with a child in hor arms, tho blood streaming from a deep gash in hor neck,, deluging hor breast and tho babe sho clung to, with tho crimson llfo tide. Sho ran but a fow Bteps when sho was scon to fall over a wagon tongue and then ceaso to struggle. "When a holplng hand was extended, hers could not respond. Tho women was dead. At this juncture Clark, tho husband of tho murdered woman emerged from tho samo door a shotgun in his hands, as if looking for somothing to shoot. Seeing a man standing in Mears' storo door, Clark was drawing a bead on him when tho man dodged out of his sight; ho thon steppod on to tho next door, Mears' harness Bhor, in winch tho fated Sargent worked. Sargent and Ho Daily and somo ono else stood in sight. Clark covered tho crowd with his gun. Dally saw him in timo to get back, exclaiming as ho retreated, "Look out ho's going to shoot!" The gun at that instant was fired, and tho load of buckshot, at short range, struck poor Sargent just below the loft eye, and ho fell dead in his shop door. Clark then, carrying his gun in ono hand nnd his knife in the other, walked away as if to leave town. John Majors coming upon tho ground and taking in tho scene, thought it best not to lot Clark got away, and seizing a shotgun followod and called him to halt. Thon Clark turned, faced Majors and walked toward him, Majors retreated backward, covering tho mur derer with his gun and ordering him to lay his gun down. Finally Clark set tho gun down by a fonco. Majors commanded him to drop the knife. This ho did not do until ho had drawn it quickly across his own throat, when ho foil. As ho lay woltoi'ing in his blood ho bogged Majors to shoot him. The murderor was laid upon tho pave ment and his self-iufiicted wound drassed. While this was being done ho lay in a seeming stupor, as if under thointluonco of Borne powerful narcotic. "When aroused to wakefulness he clutched tho bandagos that secured his wound, and tore tho wound open, re proaching tho persons about him for saving his life, nnd saying that ho wanted to bleed to death. His plea constantly is, as ho lays in tho jail cell, for somo ono to kill him. Clark was arraigned beforo "W. W. Smith, Justice of tho poace, and committed to the county jail to await the examination of tho grand jury. Sheriff Klecknor nnd his deputy G. II. Lannon, wont to Peru, took tho prisoner in charge and con voyed him to tho jail at Hrownvillu. Tho murdored Sargent was a mombor of tho Knights of Honor, and had his lifo insured for $2,000, wo learn, which, for tho sako of his widow and two littlo children wehopo is trno. Ho was buried according to tho rites or that order in Walnut Grovo cemotry Urownvillo. "Wo visited tho bloody Clark In his coll and oudeavored to converso with him but ho did not im press us as a ready and interesting con versationalist, seeming to bo stupid, slow of speech and reticent. "Wo asked him a number of questions with tho view of testing his mind, which ho answered corroctly so far so far as wo know. To tho question "what are you in here for?" ho answerod -"Tlioy say I killed my wife, I do not know what I done, I never intended to hurt her." Ho said his wife's maiden name was Allardher first name is Harriet. Clurk persists In denying all knowledge of tho bloody work ot which he is guilty. Ho howover acknowledges a dreamy and indistinct recollection of handling a shotgun and knife, and is somewhat contradictory in his allusions from timo time to time to the ovents. We beliovo tho man to bo crazy with rational Intervals, but a correct con clusion may not be arrived at until more of his past life Is known than Is at present known here. Xew Firm. Lon. and Milt.
