TRIPLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
New CORNERSTONE, Oct. 24.-Thers ia
great excitement in this little town. A
farmer has just arrived, bringing the news
of most horrible crime committed about
ten miles northwest of this place. All
that Is known at present is that Albert
Fresbin murdered his wife and three chill
dren and then terminated the frightful
tragedy by putting an end to his own life.
FINGER resided in Flyers Greek Valley
and was last seen Sunday evening when,
he was very Respondent because the doctor
had advised him to quit work on account
of i'll health. He seemed to be much wor-
ried about his family. Last night neigh
Dor named Neisbaup visited the house of
FINER and found the doors locked and
the curtains down. After summoning
neighbors thu door was forced open, when
horrible sight met their gaze. On a bed
in corner of the room lay the body of
Mrs. FINER with her throat cut from ear
to ear, while by her side was the youngest
child, cold in death, with its head mashed.
In little crib cot on the east side of the
room lay two Oldest children, their heads
crushed in, and near the north win
dow lay Mr.. Finer, with the
side of his face torn off by the discharge
of gun. The mother and child on the
bed were lying as if asleep, both being
covered with quilt. 1t is supposed that
brooding over his ill health and inability to
work deranged Finzer's mind and while
his wife and children were sleeping he
murdered them and then killed himself, as
there is no evidence in the room of a
scuffle. The manner in which the murder
Gus father killed himself, is certainly dia-
ooiical. By his side is an empty gun bar
rel with no hammer or stock He must
have loaded the barrel and held one end
IN the lame of lamp that stood near By,
and the other to his face and held it till it
exploded from heat and blew his brains
cut.
