HORRIBLE DEATH OF THE MURRAY
CHILDREN AT PINOS ALTOS
Very early Saturday morning the citizens
of Pinos Altos were startled by the report
caused by the explosion of giant powder in
the frame dwelling occupied by John A. Murray
and his three little boys. Proceeding to the
house where the explosion occurred it was
found that a stick of giant powder had by some
unaccountable means been placed between the
boys, John and Dan Murray, as they lay in bed,
and there had been exploded. The father and
the boy Freddy were sleeping in another room
and were uninjured. Whether the powder was
taken to bed by the children and accidentally
exploded or placed there by some one with
nefarious intent is yet to be determined. The
boy Johnny was possessed of $900, recovered
from the Deming and Pacific railroad for the
loss of a leg sustained while trying to board a
moving train at the Deming depot, about seven
years ago. It is said that the father wanted this
money.
