THE wHEAIlAMD HORROR.
A Truly Fiesdish work-Buschsry
and Ousrage-Celd.Biooded Dew
ishness.

Relative to the murdsrous assault upon
the two young girls near wheatland,
California, on Tuesday morning. q brief
tslegraphic account Of which was given
in the NEWS Of yesterday. We extract the
following particulars from our California
exchanges: The horrible episode occur.
red at the farmhouse OF William B.
Roddan. three miles east of wheatland.
on the Grass Valley road. Roddan, with
his wife and child, was sleeping in the
northeast room. In an adjoining room
south. in the Same bed, were Miss Cora
Hezlep. aged Is. sister to Mrs. Roddan,
and Miss Ida Dunn. aged 10. Of Wheat.
land, the latter working for Roddsn.
The house IL o ~one-story building.
and all the doors were left unlocked.
The internal hend entered the room
whore the young ladies were sleeping,
and struck them both BY the same blow
with the sharp edge Of piece Of three-
inch wagon.tire, two feet In length and
weighing fifteen pounds. Ida appears
70 have been sleeping In front, with
Cora's chin against her shoulder. both
lying upon their backs. The murderous
iron bar dented the skull Of Ida angu-
larry. causing . confusion OF the brain
above the left eye. while the ragged edge
OF the bludgeon extended over and pene-
trated the skull Of Cora above the right
eye. The fend then quietly laid the
iron bar on the floor. took Ida In his
arms, carried her through tho sitting
room. the front door and along the west
ern side OF the house about ten steps.
where he laid her almost lifelsss body
upon the ground and attempted the
hsllish purpose for which he had evi.
IDENTIFY entered the premises.
The Sacramento Bee OF Tuesday after.
noon says A gentleman who came
from Whsatland on the train this morn.
ing givsi the following: Everything in
connection with the affair would tend to
prove that the girls had been chloro-
formed and an attempt made to outrage
them /; that the chloroform administered
was not sufficient (; that n Of the girls
awakened. and that, fearing detection.
the hound or hounds broke in her skull;
that the other girl was taken outside,
there to be subjected to their use. and
that tho same fate met her. This sus.
picion is brought out by the facts that
only the girls room had been entered.
that nothing was stolen, that the bed
and clothing showed signs that such was
probably the motive. and that the night.
dress Of the young girl found on the
porch had been thrown completely over
her head. It Ia not thought that there
is any hope Of either Of the girls living.
The villains did their cowardly work
we'll.
