CLEVELAND, March GA special 10 the
Leader says: The little settlement called
Pauls Station, on the Cleveland, Loraiu and
Wheeling railroad, Eve miles north of Mas
sillop, was the SCENE Monday night of a
horrible tragedy. Frspk Hunter was found
lying in a wster-tank, the top OF which 10

ing the tank is the sandheuse. A space of
about three feet between them and the top
floor of the sandhouse 10 level with the top
of the tank, which is fourteen feet deep and
eighteen feet in diameter, and that morning
contained about ten feet of water covered
with ice. At the side where Hunter fell in
tn. ice had hAen broken. Int frozen again
with thin ice. This man il believed TO have
been murdered at house near BY and the
body thrown in the tank. The coat Of the
dead man was found on the roof be.
tween the tank and the sandhouse.
The hat wss on the ice in the
iauk, and blood and brains on the
side and roof of the ssndheuse, on the
roof between that and the tank, inside the
tank on the ice, and on the ground at the
foot of the tank. An officer arrssed Mrs.
Hunter, wife of the dead man; Clarisa Bliss,
aged fifteen, her daughter by q former hus-
band; Samuel Cooke, Mrs. Hunters father,
and George Brunner, q young man until

Brunner is alleged to have been criminally

and the dead msn, who worked at night, told
several parties that when he went home yes
terdsy morning he found Drummer in bed
with his step-daughter. The girl 10 said to
be in q delicate condition, and Mrs. Hunter
and Brunner threatened to have Hunter ar
rested for the deed, but offered 10 Withhold
the complaint if he would pay $50. Last
Wednesday night Hunler and Bruu-
ner had row. The latter had Hun
ter arrested for assault, and hearing was
to have taken place yesterday. Since the
fight Mira. Hunter has been living with
Crooks, who took away all the eatables and
part of the furniture, and Sruan.r has been
living in that household. The pest nsortem
yesterday afternoon casts . shadow of mys.
terry about the affair. The body wss allowed
TO remain in the tank until the water was
drawn of. The coroner found that death
wss caused by the discharge of heavy load
of shot in the mans head, and the weapon,

per, was found beside him in the bottom of
the tank. The gun was unmistak ably held
near Hunters head, as powder marks were
discovered in the wound, the top of the head
blown of and the brains cleaned out OF the
skull. The killing must have been done at
the top of the tank, but it is impossible to
say whether the crime had been perpetrated,
or the man died by his own hands.
