A TERRIBLE DEED.

Double Murder and Incendiarism by a
HarmlessIy Insane bohemian in Iowa.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Oct. 23.-One of
the most terrible double tragedies ever
committed in Iowa occurred Thursday
evening near the little village OF Sherry
Vile, nine miles west of the city. Dur.
ing the absence of farmer named VERDE
and his family his barn was discovered
to be on fire by Mrs. Joseph Novotny
and Mrs. John Louvar, neighbors of the
Verbas. They arrived on the seen tc
find the barn and granary consumed and
the bones of a horse and forty-hve head
of cattle and hogs smoking in the ruins.
fastening to the house, which was also
on fire, they were met by farm hand
named Martin Soukup, and when they at
tempted to enter he struck them both
down with an axe, crushing in theh
heads.
BY this time other neighbors arrived,
and an effort was made to capture
Soukup, who fed upstairs, and, axe in
hand, threatened to kill any who ap-
preached. Clay Bowerson, Ed Thomas
and win Crowell, young men Of the
neighborhood, after a severe struggle,

its effects. He was not considered dan
gerous excepting when under the in.
fuence of liquor. He was drunk when
the crime was committed.
There was not the slightest cause fol
the incendiarism and murder, as his re-
lations with all the parties had been
pleasant. The two women are still alive
but can not recover. Mrs. Novotny Is
about forty years OF age and mother Of

OCTOBER.

October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost, she is so still,
Though her sweet cheeks are rosy;
And through the floating fhistle-doWn
Her trailing. brier-tangled gown
Cleans Ike crims posy.
The crickets in the stubhle chime;
Lanterns fash out at milking time;
The daisy'e lost her ruf1es;
The wasps the honeyed pippins trys
A film is over the blue skye
A spell the river mutfies.
The golden-rod fades in the sun;
The SPIDERS gauzy veil is spun
Athwart the dropping Sedges:
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
NO bird-song the dim silence stirs,
A blight is on the hedges.
But filled with fair content is she,
AS it no frost could ever be,
10 dim her brown eyes luster;
And much she knows of fairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With tinkling mirth and buster
She listens when the dusky ewes
Step softly on the fallen leaves,
AS il for message cheering;
And 1t must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear,
The feet of Christmas nearing.
