tax levied upon the people, . new and very
costly one was built, but it has since proved
unsafe and almost . total failure. There

Intelligence has reached Keokuk, In, tina
. shocking double murder W. comnittet
Friday night near Viele, in JeGsssoa town
ship. The victims were IN aged Germas
couple named Henry and Aargared Gray
ser, the former seventy -four and the latte,
sixty-seven years Of age, Who lived on q
farm.
At midnight brother. Who resides near
~, awoke and discovered Grayser's house
to be on Ere. Procuring assistance he pro.
ceeded to the spot. and found the bodies Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Grayser lying near the door.
With the aid Of forked pole the bodies
were rescued from the flames, but in most
horrible condition, being burned 20 - 70 be
beyond recognition. The top and back Of
Mr.. Grayser's scull was gone. and presented
the appearance OF having been crushed in
by blow. His left arm was burned Of
near the shoulder. both legs nearly to the
trunk, and the body badly scorched and
blistered. The body Of Mrs. Grayser vas
in the same condition. On examination
two bullet holes were found in her left
side
The house, with is contents, was entirely
consumed. A revolver, with one chamber
discharged, and the hammer drawn hack,
ready for another shot, was found in the
debris. All the fasteninss on the doon were
found to have been unlocked and the keys in
them. Everything tends to show that the
couple were murdered for thu ir money, and
the house fred to conceal the crime. It is
not known what amount Of money was &C.
cured, but As Grayser is known to have &C.
cumulsted largely. it Is thought to have
been considerable sum. Some reports say
SIS 900, but no reliable estimate can be
made of the amount. They had been coi-
Letting their money together in anticipation
of a trip to the old country.
An inquest was held and a verdict rem
dered to the effect that the deceased came to
their death felonious'y. and by the hand Of
some person or persons unknown. The fu-
neral will take place tomorrow. There has
been intense excitement in the vicinity Of
The murder all day. Hundreds of people
have been gathered there, and adetermIned
'earch is being made for the perpetrators.
yet there is no positive clue, but several
persons are under suspicion, and are being
closely watched. The tracks Of one man
we're found leading from the field to the
mouse, as we'll n away from it. The latter
'howed that the man vas making long
tribes.

by placing them in front Of the door
of the express car. Under the cover
of these they dashed into the car and
quickly overpowered the messenger.
They then rapidly went through the
express and mail matter. and succeed
ed in getting booty to the amount of
about
sEvENTv-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
After they had secured their plumber
they coolly mounted their horses and
rode off in a northeastern direction,
toward the Trinity bottoms.
