this town tiro stirred with excite- l?
ment and horror this morning ov- ^
er the fearful deaths of Mr. B. B V

Hughes, his wife and their two .>
daughters. 1
At 5 o'clock their house, which

town ivns luii'iipil In tiip ffrnnn 1
The building was wrapped in ah >t!

seething mass of tlames wfK-n the
first citizen arrived, and had there
been adequate (ire apparatus it
would have been impc.ssiMe to
save tho house after the alarm '
had aroused the citizens
The tiro was at tii>t thought
to tie accidental, but it wa? found
that there was foul plav. Mr.
1 (i
Hushes had his clothes < :i and
3 . (
thore is evidence of his having !, id
his glove on the right hand. '
Both tho gilds wero struck ( n the 1
head with some heavy article, .
like an ax, and placed back in the j
bed as if they had not made a L
struggle. Mrs. Hughes' head '
was under her pillow and l.ar ?
head was mashed in.

A further and closer invcstiga- y
tion today revealed the fact that y
Mr. Hughes had a bullet hole o
through both temples. His body n
was at the door and a pistol was '
in his hand. It is believed the ^
murder was committed in tho ?
early part of the night and that
the house was tired to hide the
crime. ^

Id living and will continue to live in
tlio hearts and lives of others
