The grown sons of George Broek found
the bodies of thelr father, their mother and
their youngest brother in a secluded hollow
near Gorden, Ind. The bodies were (nolosed
in a rude pen, built by Brook to keep the
hogs from devouring them,
The fact that the pen had been built shows
that Brock had planned the murders oare-
fully. He persuaded his wife and boy to
leave the houss with him, on the pretense of
oing to onll on the mother of Mrs.
rock who lived a short distance
away. When they neared the hollow
whare he had erscted the pen, Brook
shot and killed his wife and son with a
gun he had borrowed from his brother
{n-Jaw, and then dragged the bodies inside
the pea. There wera evidences of astruggle
between the husband and wife, before Brook
killed her, After covering the heads of his
two vietims with sacks, Brook lay down on
the ground besids the body of his wife, By
the ald of a wagon spoke he toushed off the
n. His head was blown off, and was
nd some distance away. He had been
made desperate by poverty and hanger.
COXEYITES DROWNED.
Boats Upset and Their Occupants Lost
in Platte River.
At least fifteen of tha Donver
contingent of Coxey's army lost their lives
by drowning in the Platte River, Colorado.
Ooroner Martin went down to Brighton with
ecoMps, He roturnsd at noon, being unable
to secure any of the bodies,
Four have been washed ashore on the
other side of the river, about eight miles
from Brighton, at a point known as Mo
Kays Bridge. One man found drowned at
Brighton has been identified as Charles
MoCane, a Missourian, a momber of the
Utah contingent,
They started off during the day, until
about 300 had taken passage in twenty-six
boats which had beets built of light material
by ths Coxeyites at Denvor. The storms had
greatly swollen the stream, and a very high
wind made navigation extremely dangerous,
It was MoKays Bridge, about six miles
above Brighton, that caused the most trou:
ble. The flood poured under it with the
of a mill-race, and there, hidden by
t siroam, wora barbed wires stretohed
noross, 10 prevent the passing of stock under
the bridge at low water, Tho wire caught
mi of the boats and overturned them,
About 850 men afterward encamped beside
Sue sivas st Brighton, drying their alothes
recuperating.
