During all that time Mr. and blre. Homer

Recently Mr. Homer brought the matter

worker of Clispy in the Missouri Panifio

visiting his daughter. A few minutes
before 6 o'clock yesterday morning Cliepy
went to Amion's house while the family
were at breakfast. Angry worda sauced
between the men, when lalispy drew a
revolver and fired at Amon, inflicting a
mortal wound. He then shot his sweet.'

fatally wounding the former and seriously
injuring the latter. All fdl to the floor,

blowing his brains out, and dying in half
an hour.

and died about noon. Mary was deo shot
in thabead, but the ball glanced around
under the scalp and made only a fieeh
wound which will soon heal. Agnes re-

penetrated the brain, and still remains
there. She will undoubtedly die Michael
Anson, aged 15, grappled with the murderer,
and wse shot in the wrist and hand, but
the wottnd is not severe. Lillie and Maggie

When Clispy entered, the home he had a
