A BRUTAL MURDER
Penetrated Among the Dark Hills
of Monroe.
A Farmer Fiend Cuts Down His Wife With
an Axe---0ne Arm Severed
From Her Body and Her
Head Split.

News of one of the bloodiest murders
ever perpetrsted in this portion OF the couu-
try comes from Woods6eld, o. The deed,
which, from the data at hand, was charac
terized by exceptional brutality, occurred on
Sunday afternoon on what is known as the
Rich Fork of the Little Muskingum, about
six miles from Woodsfeld. The murderer
is David Conger, and
THE VICTIM
ia his wife. But few particulars Of the deed
were to be obtained last night, and for the
present the following meagre outline must
suffice:
Conger is a wellto-do farmer, aged about
fifty years, ard has family OF sev"ral chi
drep. he oldest daughter who has about
s,,aiped womanhooi Conger and his wife
have since their marriage, hsd several
ouarreI, in each of which her husband dis
played his jealous feelings IN very torclor
manner. On Sunday morning another
ouarrel took place, more serious than any
previous one, but ,hc trouble WAS alIayed,
after time, before any material damage
had been done. Late in the afternoon Con
ger was playfully throwing water on one OF
the children, when his wife intertercd and
commanded him 70 stop. Another quarrel
tnsued, and in
\ FIT OF FURIOUS ANGER
C ne. seized an axe and rushing at his
wife dealt her amurderous blow on the right
shoulder, telling her to the floor and almosr
severing the member from the body. Not
satisfied with his CHASTITY work, the inhuman
wretch, seemingly crszed by the sight OF
blood again swung his axe aloft and brought
the blade down on his wifeS head, splitting
the skull and scattering blood and brains
about the floor.
After the deed the murderer rushed from
the house, first ainging his weapon in a
corner, sad ran to the office Of Justice OF
the Peace where he gave himself up. He was
at once taken in custody and removed t.
Woodsfeld, where he was lodged in jail.
