and struch a mortal blow upon his head
with an AK. lie fell to the floor, and
his wife rushing from the bed exclaimed,
you have killed George, don't kill ne
and the baby" Instantly she was also
sticken down with a blow of the same
Ak upon her forehead, making fearful
cash by which one Of her eyes soon ran
out. Meanwhile, Mr.. Woodell rallied,
and a struggle began with the villain, in
which they were pushed into the entry,
where the latter fatally cut the throat of
Mr.. Woodell, with Il jack knife. Not
