George Burkhavdt Kills Mr.. and Mrs
Howe and Then Suicides.
WKNoSA, Ills, Nov. ia double muir
der. followed by the suicide of tho fiend wht
committed the horrible crime, has caused
much excitement In this peaceful communi
ty. Peter Howe, a wealthy banker OF this
place, and his wife were found murdered in
their beds early yesterday morning. A
coupling pin besmeared with blood, the beds
floor, and walls OF the room spattered with
blood and brains, and the horribly mutilste6
bodies OF the u~nfortu nate couple told tb,
story Of the murder.
Sarah Richardson, a pretty, layear-Olc
domestic In the Howe family, made the dis
covery. She IL the stepdaugbtsr OF Charlie.

suspicion of the crime was at Once directed

hardt had committed the awful deed. A
watch was at once placed over the rooms
where lie lived, while the county authorities
at Ottawa we're notified. 1t was not long
until Burkhardt discovered that a watch
was kept over his premises. He was walk
ing up and down the hallway at the time,
apparently in great agitation. Seeing nc
way OF escape the murderer went into hi.
room, grabbed his razor and cut his throat.
His dying means were heard by his wife,
who was in the room nd joining. She rushed
in and threw herself over the PROSTATE form
OF her husband.
Scare for the baby was all that Burk
hardt WAS aL's TO gasp out in u faint man

In tho absences Q. any statement from Burk

but the girl had persistently refuse bccaus,
OF Burkhardts motive. The girl bears d
good reputation. and she was supported i,

Burkbardt no doubt heard otthis, and con

nothing was taken. H

fullest, aided somewhat by the

lures and advices were laughingly ap-
preciated. Passing down a long
hall, through a tiny bower of tall
plants and gaily colored flowers, one
entered the dining room, where a
beautifully decorated table was
spread with tempting fare, and amid
merry conversation and laughter the
various dainties were enjoyed. At
ter supper there was some music and
promenading until the dancing was
resumed. At a late hour the tired
bellies departed with their cavaliers,
all lamenting, no matter how weary,
that the charming affair was over.

A Former Nevadan.

A tall and digni6ed gentleman,
straight ns an arrow, and with the air of
o Kentucky Senator, put the name of
"John R. Kittrell'' n the Palace regis
ter yesterday. This was Colonel J. r.
Kittrell, formerly Attorney-G General of
Nevada, but now, and for many years
to come probably, District Attorney of
Stanislaus county. Colonel Kittrell
hns got little 8rayer in beard since the
days when he awoke the Washoe echoes
with Democratic eloquence, but he
stands as erect and defiant and his
manner is as courtly as in the long ago
The Colonel is reticent on political
matters, for he is himself q candidate
for reelection, though without oppo-
sition, but he was seen later in the day
in close confab with John c. Maynard
and Chairman English, whence it is
probable that before the hoar frosts
come the foothills of old Stanisluus may
yet echo and reverberate.- Examiner.
