Twin Babies Die
In Fond Embrace
No two persons are closer togethri
than twins. They usually have
the same likes and dislikes, and quarrel
less than regular brothers aril
sisters.
Seldom it is, thou.'h, that twins
are so close that they draw their
1; st breath in each other's arms. But
little Rebecca and .Joseph Austin,
live months old, died in that manner
at thy home of their parents, near
Hopkins.
The babie? had been ill for several
nays with "bad colds", according to
the mother. She had not called a
physician, however, and did not realize
that her babies had pneumonia.
When she went to their crib Sunday
morning, she found them both dead.
\s it was not known at that time
what caused the double death. Cor
oner W. A. McCain and a countv
physician were called in. After in-j
, vest .gat ion it was found that th"
deaths had been caused by pneumonia
and no inquest was held.? Monday's

No Santa Claus;
Slays His Family
I Vernon, Texas, Dec. 30.?Evidence
of a tragedy of poverty which wiped
out a family of six persons in the
midst of surrounding Christmas cheer,
the bodies of a father and his five
children lay today in a county morgue.
The children apparently were killed
by th?ir father, who then committed
suicide.
The dead were J. H. Haggard, 60,
farmer, and his children, Simon, }H;
John 10; Alta 16; Alma 12; and
Dorothy 0. The mother died three
years ago.
A note reading "All ded. I had
ruther be ded. Look in Cellar, found
on the door of the house, was interpreted
by authorities as conclusive
evidence that the slaying* were the
final act of a father stricken by grief
ut his inability to provide his children
with Christmas toys.
Justice of the Peace II. C. Justin
returned no verdict after an inquest
yesterday, but indicated the verdict
would be suicide in Haggard's case,
and death by gunshot wounds in the
case of the children.
The bleak farm home where the
six lived was without a sign of
Christmas decoration or festivity
when the bodies were found by a
Mexican who stopjred at lb<* house,
and contained only the barest neces-ilie>
of life. Authorities believed
the deaths occurred on Christmas
Day or the day following.
