A HORRIBLE til Thomas Pee is Being Tried in Missouri for Murder aud the Burning of His Victim. THE SOOUHDBBL'S HIDING PLACE. With Much Difficulty He is Discovered in the Mountains Posing as a Wood Chopper, Okikiuv, Mo., Aug. '.'9. Circuit Court convened here yesterday, with Judge Cyrus A. Anthony on the bench, and a panel of forty jurors was drawn, from which there will be twelve men selected to sit in judgment upon tho life of Thomas Fee, who is here now in juil awaiting trial for murder in the lirst degree. The crime with which Fee is charged was one of the most cold-blooded aud brutal within the criminal annals of this section. Fee was, until about six months ago, a farmer and a renter, who lived on the Missouri river bottom about four miles from this place, and having come to that neigh-borhood from Iowa some nine or ten years ago. In tho spring of 1881) Fee hired a young man about 19 years old, by the name of Thorpe, to work for him on the farm, and a short time thereafter young Thorpe disappeared, Fee explaining that Thorpe had gone to Montana. Nothing strange was thought of this at the time, as Thorpe had told several young men in the neighborhood that he was going to Montana within a short timo, and had shown them $80 iu money, part of which ho said he had worked for, and part of which ho had brought with him from his home in Arkansas. Two or three persons in the immediate vicin-ity of where lived had also seen young Thorpe with his gripsack in Fee's wagou with Fee driving toward the depot at Forest City, where Thorpe was to take the train. Soon after thi3 Fee got a lot of goods from Erail Weber, a merchant at Forest City, under false pretenses, and when about to be ar- - rested for that lie forged a note on David Barbour, a well-to-d- farmer of that vicinity, aud got the money on the note to pay for tho goods. W hen the note matured, in order to avoid trouble again, he stole a lot of cord-woo- from Judge Quick, of the same vicinity, and sold the wood to pay the note. Very soon, however. Quick found out about the wood, and then the whole story of Fee's maneuvering in this particu-lar came to light, and Fee skipped the country. This was some four or five mouths after young Thorpe had disappeared, and about the time the first letters of immiry as to the boy's whereabouts began to be received front voting Thorpe's father in Arkan-sas, 'it was also about this time that some bovs named Moore were out gun-ning in the timber through which the road ran that Thorpe and Fee mint have traveled in going from where Fee lived to the depot, and found a grip-sack in a brush pile,, which upou inves-tigation proved tacoutain the clothes of voting Thorpe. Several letters which Thorpe had received from his lather in Arkansas were found in the pockets of an old coat in the grip.' Excitement ran high, and a thorough search was ;.,cr,ii,.,l fnr hn remains of the boy. The boy's father in Arkansas was noti-fied and he hastened here to join in the search. Crowds of people scoured the country for several days in every direction, when, finally, a spot which had often been passed by them and escaped their suspicion w as found to contain the bones sought for. A deep burned place by the side of a large log, but a few steps from where the valise had been found, proved to have becu made by tho murderer iu bis efforts to conceal his crime by burning the body of Thorpe- - Several of the heavier boues of the body and head were found amongst the ashes, as were also numerous pants buttons and wo or three buckles from his suspenders and clothes. The boy's pocket;knifc, badly burnt, was found and identi-fied. The bones, etc.. were all brought to this citv. and are now in the keeping of Prosecutiiig-Attornc- y Ken-nis-for presentation in evidence to the inrv. Fee was, after several months search, captured In the Ozark moun-tains, in Douglas .county, Mo, living alone in the mountains some fifteen miles from any other habitation, and following the occupation of a wood. chopper Sheriff Frame of this county, located him and effected his arrest, Ice denied his identity when arrested, but admitted it, of course, when h further-resistanc-e w as use found that less and realized that he would hen be confronted with so many people whe knew him well. ' INDIAN BOYS AND MAIDENS. They Rtturo llonie After Bains Euuvatad. My the Fala-Fac- a. Aug. ill. Tho 11:25 express for the west from Broad station last night contained among its passengers twenty nix young Indian braves and an equal number of tsptaws all bound for their homes in the far west, which they left five years ago to come to this city and learn the w hite man's civilization. The boys and girls represent a number of tho tribes. One is from the Mohawks in Now York. The Sioux and Chippewa. Cheyenne and Winnebago and Crow Indians have all sent children to bo educated in the educational home. The institution is one of the many institutions of Pennsylvania w hich are doing such good work to-ward civilizing the redskins. It is a large four story stouo buildiug, beauti-fully located, at the corner of Forty-nint-street aud Greenway nvenuo. Beyond it one sees a fine 'landscape, while to the left is the farm attached to the home. As a charitable institution it was founded in November, 1871. as a home for destitute boys. In lNSt it opened its doors for the entrance of tho Indian youth to try the experiment of educating the tw o races together. The experiment has proved entirely satis-factory, as the twenty-si- x graduated pupils show. The method of training adopted ,in the home is well calculated to bring about the best results. Half the day is devoted to the study of books, and the other part to the learning of various trades. As students the bovs have done fairly well, many of them have far out-stripped the white boys after becoming familiar with tho language. The branches taught are elementary e about equal to the grammar school grados and for the 111 boys there are four teachers. In the trades they have done much better, acquiring in a very short time a practical knowl-edge of shoe making, taking, harness making, engineering, 'farming, and many other industries. One of the boys, a d Chip-pewa, Nachewabeilonv, or, in Knglish. Samuel Mills, is a skilled barber, while several others have entered mercantile life. Connected with twdiome are the .shoeruaking, baking, engineering and farming department, but, all the other trades have been learned by the boys actinir as apprentice in shops. Yesterday many, of them showed great feeling when saying farewell to the instructors. Tho School closed in the latter part of June, with some very pretty though simple exercises, and sinoe'then the boys and the principal, W. V. Lewis. Mrs. Cox and Miss Kyler, who accompanied them on their long journey, have been waiting for the gov-ernment to furnish transportation. Tho mouey arrived yesterday and the trip was begun. The ages of the graduates raugu from 13 to in. Many of the boys entered the home provided with two n atnes, one of the original Indian and, the other F.nglhsh. Gay Mat ep became Gray Bear, llopa is now Fuie Boy, Konsaavapi changed to linos Alter Him, whilnWoklyH, ';,,1B,- - l'cll Them. - " Aa equal number of hoys and girls are to be brolight back by Mr. Lewis. No difficulty is ever encountered in gaining recruits, as there is often anxiety among the tribes to have their children taken. This work is not car-ried on without money, and the govern-ment lias appropriated $107 for every child, while generous contributions from charitable people supply every need of the institution. urn. is recorder.

West End of London. CARL CONRAD, THE SCULPTOR. Several Ladies Hold a Meeting When Parliament Reassembles Corner Stone of a Catholic Church. London. Aug. 29. Special. The sequel to the extraordinary sceue which took place recently iu the most thoroughfare of the west cud occurred today in tho police court when the Count Kildare was met face to face again by the outraged husband. The count's evidence was merely to tho effect that while driving along Kensington road he met a lady who was accompanied by a foreign-lookin- gentleman. The strauger spraug into the roadway, and shouting You scoundrel. I have found you at last." began belaboring the witness with a stick. Of course the count was entirely ignorant of any reason for the assault. It transpired, however, that the assailant who is well known in yachting circles, was last spring at Monto Carlo with his w ife, where they met the count. The noble-man paid assiduous atteution to the lady aud finally they disappeared together front Monto Carl . The wronged husband pursued them all over the continent and at last discov-ered the count accidentally. A suit for divorce has lieen instituted and the revelatiotis w ill be another rude shock to society. BARRY TALKS- - Ho Intimates that (.rand Master Pon derly is a lioodler. Dktboit. Mich., Aug. 29,-T- om Barry w as ouce a power iu hbor circles anil at one time a member of the executive board of the K. of L. with Towderly and others. Xo one ever accused Barry of being dishonest or crooked. Iu fact he has always borne the reputation oi being scrupulously upright, and no niau lias the iutorest of the laboring niau more at heart. Asked today of the outlook iu the present strike, he said the strike was a failure from the start because it lacked proper executive ability behind it. Powdcrly did not take the field at the outset and marshal his forces as a good general, but stayed away until it '"was too late, aud even then instead of mak-ing a game tight spent the time in writ-ing long newspaper articles, complain-ing of everybody aud everything and laying the blame ou others" instead of on himself. Mr. Harry was asked how-i- t was that the knights of labor strikes all over the country failed. He paused a long time aud then said: "If you want me lo tell you what is the reason the knights of labor are a back number, why, here it is: Did you ever hear of an officer in au organiza-tion trying to bleed the members for all there was iu it? Yes, perhaps yon have.. Let me tell you something, "uo you remember the great Southwestern strikes? Well, I was right in the midst of that quarrel. The stocks of the railroad fell right out of sight. While the strike was on I was approached by a Wall street broker, for I was a member of the executive board then, and offered $100,000 iu cold cash to tell in advance wIipu the strike was to be settled.. Did I take it? Of course not, or I would be weariug a sight better clothes than I have on me today. I told the broker I was not in it that wav and he accepted my decla-ration as truth. I refused that $100,-00- but as a member of the board I laid the proposition before the others. Of course they rejected it with scorn: but 24 hours later Mr. Powderly was in New York negotiating with the very broker whom 1 slighted. One day later the strike was declared off. If I got anything out of it I have not received it. Perhaps Powderly knows better." Mr. Barry evidently knew more of the transaction than he told, but would say no more. ) fAND VOID.
