such cases here in Portland and Vicinity 1 pur-
chased bottle at Smiths drug store here, and /
found after using the first bottle that it relieved
greatly and after using several bottles found that

der of the Crouch family, residing seven miles
southwest of the city. Sheriff Winney,
Cornoner Casey, Chief OF Police Bmkhart,
and large force Of special officers repaired
to the scene of the tracey and found the
bodies updisturbed in the awful Stiffness
of death. The family mansion
of Jacob D. Crouch, one of the
oldest and wealthiest residents of jackson
county, stands a few rods north Of the high
road leading to Spring Arbor, and within it
lay the murdered bodies of Jacob D. Crouch,
aged "a, who slept in an alcove opening into
the sitting-room; his daughter, Mrs. Eunice
White, and her husband, Henry d. White, a
brother of DIR. White, Of this city, who occu-
pied front bedroom, opening into the par
lor, while in another room opening into
the parlor lay the remains of Moses Policy,
Pennsylvania drover, who came to Crouch's
to buy stock DIR. w. A Gibson examined
the bodies, and concluded that the murders
were committed about midnight. Jacob
Crouch was shot in the left side OF the head two
inches back of the ear, the ball passing into

White was shot twice; one ball entered the
right side of the neck, three inches below
the ear, sever;ng the artery, and the second
ball entered the uppH temple, near the right
eye, passing into the brain Mrs White who
was in the last stages of pregnancy, was shot
five times, and made hard struggle forlife.
The first bail passed through her right arm,
the second ball through the right breast into
the lung, the fourth ball through the chin
and neck, and the fifth ball through the left
wrist Moses Policy was shot twice; one ball
entered the opening of the right ear, directly
into the brain, the second ball passed through
his chest from the right side. The doctor be-
lieves all shots were fired by one person and
from one revolver, as empty cartridges We're
found Oh the floor, and all were chlorofOrmed
and butcbered at leisure like SO many pigs
All the bodies were in their night clothes, and
stretched calmly i'll the beds, as though
asleep. In Il rear kitchen room Mrs Julia

shooting, and was so frightened that he got

whole country is aroused and conjectures fly
like the wind. There is no definite clew or
