sented her with 90 acres of land. Holmes, who

very angry at this, and frequently threatened
TO murder the whole family. ABOUT O'Clock
this morning Holmes called Berrifield up TO 90
for a doctor, saying he was very sick. As
Berrifeid ted down the stairs Holmes
struck him twice over the head with hick-
DRY club, knocking hlm senseless and cutting
great holes in his head. Holmes then went to
the bed where Mrs. Berufield lay sleeping,
dragged her out by the hair, and beat her over
the head until she too was senseless. In the
meantime Rerrifield had partially recovered,
and ran out of doors and cried for help
Holmes followed, and the two clinched in a
fierce struggle. By this time Mrs. Berriheld
recovered consciousness and ran to her hus-
bands aid, and together they managed to keep
Holmes at bay. They then started
across the frozen fields in their night clothes
to the nearest neighbor's, closely pursued W
Holmes, until they came TO thick hedge,
where desperate encounter took place, Ber-
