AWHoLE FAMILY MURDERED.
Thieves Kill an Old Man, His Wife and
Their Two Grand children.

VIROQUA, Wis, May 25.-Information was
received here to-day of the murder of four per-
sons last night in the town Of KiekapOO Mr..
and Mrs. Reuben Drake, an old couple, were
shot dead in their own house by unknown
parties, and the threats of their two little
grandchildren were cut from ear to ear.
The lifeless bodies were found this morning
when neighbors made an investigation because
of unusual quiet about the house. The old
couple lay on the floor and the children were
stretched in their beds. Everything was
turned upside down in the house and it is sup
posed that the murder the result of an at
tempt at robbery The old man had been
known to receive pension money, and it is sup
posed the robbers were in quest of this.
As Mr.. and Mrs. Drake were fully dressed, it
is supposed the murder occurred early in the
evening. The neighbOrhoOd is greatly excited
but there is no clue to the perpetrators.
Ii is not known how much booty was secured
from the house The officers who inspected
the premises found that the house had been
thoroughly ransacked, drawers overturned on
the floors and everything left in great disorder
The murderers probably demanded Mr.. Brakes
money and upon his refusal to disclose its hid
ing place, if indeed he had any in the house,
shot him and then his wife. The children were no
doubt awakened by the noise and for fear that
they might identify them the murdeTers ap-
parently decided that they too must be sacri-
feed, and cut the threats of the innocent wit
nesses Mr. and Mrs. Drake had been residents
of this county for forty years. They lived a
quiet and secluded life.
