Foul Play Eaared.

ARLINGTON (Neb }, May 4th-At o'clock
this morning fire was seen on the farm of
widow Freeze, one mile out. A posse of
citizens went out and were Mortified to find
the charred remains of seven human beings.
They were only identified by their stature,
as follows: Old lady Freeze, Fred Graten-
luscher, his wife and three children, and
his brothers Fred and Louis, scattered in
the different parts of the barn, among the
horses and cows, some fifteen of which
were also burned.
One theory is foul play. Another is that
each one of the family aimed to save the
animals, and that all failed and were suffo-
Gated suddenly.
A daughter, who is away visiting, is the
only survivor of the family, but it is re-
ported that the hired man cannot be found
