the missing man, the prisoner tainted, and gave
some unsatisfactory answer in regard to him.
His house was examined, and large spots of
block were found on the floor and wall OF his
room, and the whole premises emitted q most
sickening odor; large quantities of human
bones were founs In the smoulderiRg ashes of
the fireplace. A lower Jaw was found, but little
dlsfgured, as was also large pieces OF a skull,
together with pieces Of human flesh. An Incl.
sion on the former showed that the body had
been chopped to pieces with an axe preparatory
TO burning. The nost OF the bones had been
pounded to pieces. The murderer must have
been engaged in this heliish work of burning the
remains during the entire night of February 22.

trinkets, identified as the property Of the MUIR

EIGHTEEN PERSONS POISONED To DEATH.
A most distressing case of poisoning lately
took place near the town of Lisbon, Grand
Rapids, Michigan. 1t appears that a party OF
men were employed in the woods cutting out
pine logs, and had q shanty boarding house,
where they employed man to do their cook

requested permission to remain over night,
which was granted. He had with him paper
containing strichHine, for the purpose OF poison
ing meat in setting his traps for wild ANIMALS,
and on entering the shanty 1t was placed on a
board shelf ca[elessl :, and left there The cook,
supposed, a paper OF salaratus, but, instead
thereof, poison, and mixed up and baked the
biscuit, OF which all parties partooS, from the
and died.
