7 tragedy in WheeiOck.

Tuesday morning Byron Blake, at Sheffield,
murdered his mother, sister and step-father
and then hung himself He was twenty-six
years old and had been confined in lunatic asy-
lum two years, but when he returned he was con-
sidered safe although he had an ugly disposition.
The facts are these: A schoo-teacher who lives
at the house left there for her school at nine
O'Clock In the morning. and neighbor, Mr.. In
gals, went 10 the house at ten o'clock and open
ing the kitchen door the CHASTITY remains OF the
maniac's victims met his gaze. The body OF
Mrs. Williams lay with the feet the door that
he opened That Of Mr.. Parks lay near the sit
ting-room door, and Mrs Parks' body lay by the
door leading to the sink-room near the sink,
where she had apparently been washing dishes.
Blake dubbed them all to death with shotgun,
breaking the stock off on Mrs. Williams head,
the lock OF the gun being found tangled in her
hair. The stock lay by her side The walls,
curtains and mirror were despatched with blood,
and there is hole in the plastering Of the cell
ing made by an upstroke Of the weapon. A part
OF Mrs. Williams hair was pulled out, and 1t Is
supposed that she started to escape, and that he
caught her by the hair and dragged her back
Though an extraordinarily strong woman, she was
no match for the armed maniac. The back Of
Mrs. Williams head was pounded in, her teeth
knocked out her skull broken over the right ear
and her lips cut open Mr. Parks head was
pounded up, one arm broken and probably hi.
neck broken. Mrs. Parks head WAS crushed In
the same way rs the others The dead body Of
Blake was found in barn suspended by the

WORD to our readers. When you read Of a
remedy that will cure all diseases, beware of 1t
but when you read Of pure vegetable compound
which claims to cure only certain parts OF the
body, and furnishes high proof that it does this,
you can safely try it, and with the assurance that
it will help you. This is just what Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure does. Itcures all troubles
OF the lower portion Of the body and none others.
1t will not help the tooth-ache ear-ache nor con-
sumption, but it will put your body in vigorous
and healthy state where You can enjoy life and
appreciate its good things. Try il.
