five miles north Of P~lessanton. A Coro-
ner's jury was summoned, which, on re-
pairing to the scene, found 8 wagon with
one horse and a full set Of double harness,
excepting one bride. Lying beside the
wagon was the body of a girl about 16
years old with her head completely severed
from her body. The stream was searched,
and the bodies Of two children were found,
that of a girl about ii and OF 8 boy about
6 years. The girls skull had been crushed
with an ak and the boys throat cut from
ear to ear. The bodies had then been
thrown into the creek. Collins were
provided and the bodies placed in
them and the inquest held. Meanwhile
a terrible stencil issuing from q neighbor-
ing thicket an investigation Was had re-
vealing the eliminating horror in the
mutilAted body OF q woman, apparently
the mother Of the murdered children.
The side Of the head had been beaten in
with the same ~murderous weapon and her
throat cut from ear to ear. The body was
hidden under the brush and covered with
logs. All the bodies are too much decom-
posed for removal. 1t is learned that q

nothing has been discovered as to identify
him as OF the party. The man was OF me-
dunn stature and raggedly dressed. The
affair is q mystery.
