Horrible Murder.

ST. LOUIS, November l0.-Joseph
Engler, alias Carl StIahl, WAS arrested
mere yesterday, on Suspicion OF having
murdered Mrs. Goetz, the wife of Henry
Goetz, farmer, living three or four
miles from Columbia, Ill., on Sunday
night last Mrs Goetz WAS found in the
cellar of her house, by neighbor, on
Wednesday, with her head crushed in by
blow from al axe. Engler came here
with pair of mules and wagon
which had been used by Goetz,
and was arrested while trying to
sell them for very small sum, which
aroused suspicion that they had been
stolen. During the day the officers from
Columbia arrived, who identified the
mules and wagon and several articles of
clothing and jewelry in the possession OF
Engler, as belonging to GeOtz. The
prisoner WIS taken back u Colum-
bia, last evening by the officers. Henry
Geotz, husband OF the murdered woman,
mss not been seen since the night OF the
murder, and IT Is suspected that Engler
has murdered him also, and secreted his
body with view to making 1t appear a
though Geotz had killed his wife and
then fed. Although Engler refused to
give any account of himself or explain
how he came IN possession of the proper
ty of Goetz, there seems TO be no doubt
that he committed the murder. Robbery
appears to be the only motive that
Engler could have had for committing
the deed
