The discovery that the section Of the
country about Janesyille, Ohio, has bsen
literally riddled by graveyard ghouls. has
created the widest excitement. Six weeks
weeks ago. when Baylor was visited and
later when graves at Wood were opened,
no suspicion was felt; but Fridays rob-
berry of Miss Dyer's grave at Fostoria
woke the people up and vigorous search
is now being prosecuted. At Janesville,
two suspicious persons prowled about the
town several days last week the night be-
fore the discovery of the robbery Of Miss
Dyer's grave they disappeared. When
the news Of the outrage reached the
town Iumor obtained that these two
men were grave robbers. As two bodies
had recently been buried in the graveyard
which is half mile from the nesrei
house, it was resolved to examine the
graves. Both were found empty In one
not thing remained bat handkerchief,
in the other were the clothes of the de
ceased. The bodies taken were those of
Henry Snyder and MARIA Jacobs, both
middle aged people. To satisfy curiosity
and aud to remove doubts more than 30
graves of persons buried within two years
were opened and IL were found empty.
The names of the missing are William Ed
ward Bomby, James Miller, Mary
Brown. Mrs. Alice Morgan, William
Lewis, Peter Lewis. Grace Simons, Louis
King, QnfsnD, Harry Seney, Alva Rice,
and Mrs. Belle Porter. When the graves
were rined no one can tell. and there is
nothing like clue. The village is but q
few miles drive from three railroads, aud
the isolated situation of the graveyard
made it fayorits resort for the ghonls.
The discovery OF these outrages has pro-
duced q profound sensation, aud the fami
lies of shoso interested arc prostrated and
one death Is likely to result.

nen M massacred In Ariz,Ea.
Winfield Fritz. prominent citizen of
81. Clair, Sohuylkil! county, Pa, his wife,
Joseph Raymond and James Rafferty, were
murdered at Ratferty's ranch, near Tucson
A. T., last Sunday. Winfield Fritz and
wife left Pennsylvania five years ago for
Tucson, prior to which he was employed
by the Pennsylvania Diamond Drill com
pany as superintendent for number of
years. blt resigned that position to go
into business there. He immediately
bought au interest 10 mine and was
meeting with success financially. The
first report OF the massacre was to tho
effect that FritZ's partuer was suspected
of hanging a Mexican soma tme ago, aud
that in spirit Of revenge Fritz was taken
for the partner and murdered, together
with his wife. The true facts of the case,
however, are as follows
Two weeks ago party of unknown
men put in an appearance at Rafferty's
ranch and became acquainted with Fritz
and his party. They remained around
the neighborhOod for several days when
they met q Mexican, with whom they quar-
relied. The Mexican was cruelty beaten
and afterwards hanged to trse. This
was done almost In sight of tho Rafferty,
ranch and tho execution of the Mexican
was probably witnessed by its inmates.
The party fed and nothing was seen or
heard of them until they returned to the
Rafferty, ranch and murdered Fritz and
his wife aud Raymond and Rafferty, for fear
they would testify against them in the
event OF their arrest, which 1t appears
seemed probable, Fritz was about forty
five years of age aud was married to the
daughter of Martin Dormer, a prominent
brewer Of st. Clair, who has been notified
of the terrible tragedy. The other two
victims were young men. During the five
years the Fritz family have resided there
