Horrible Murder.

CANTON, ILL, August Ga horrible
murder occurred about q mile west OF
Yatel City on Monday morning The
victim was the wife Of John Matthewson.
Matthewson and u hired man LETT the
house at daylight to do harvest work
some distance from the house, and did not
return until night, when the body OF the
murdered wife was found in the cellar
with her throat cut and head all mashed.
The murderer is not known, but suspicion
rests on a man who was near the house
that morning inquiring for work. De
tCClivcs are on his track. The particulars
as near as we can ascertain, arc that
the murderer went into the house about
8 o'clock in the morning and ordered
breakfast, and while Mrs Matthewson
was preparing It he undertook TO rsvish
her and she resisted. Her clothing and
person showed unmistakable signs that
there was a struggle for life, her hand was
horribly cut as il she had tried to grasp
the knife from the murderers hand. The
family Is very respectable aud among the
first in the county; she has been married
but a few months. Great excitement pre-
walls and mounted horsemen arc securing
the country in search Of the murderer.
