HORRIBLE STORY.
A Family Murdcred-Vengeance
of the Husband.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 1S.-A
special to the Inteligsneer from
Charlestown says that report has
reached here that man in Calhoun
county, who was away selling cattle,
on returning home late on Wednesday
night, in company with a ped
dler, discovered a light in his
window, and when he looked
in saw his wife and his three
children lying dead on the floor. He
also saw four men in the room. The
peddler drew his revolver and the man
was told to make a noise at the back
of the house. The men inside rushed
out and three of them were killed out
right, the fourth being badly
wounded. 1t is impossible at present
to verify the story, but the man who
brought it is considered reliable. s
