Sanchez 6 terrific blow on the side of the neck. nearly seysring the head from the body. With such demoniscal strength was the blow gwen, thsi the helve of the axe broke short of, leaving the blade buried deep in the flesh of his victim. The jugu- lsr vein and vertebrs had been cut through at Ihe first strike, but apparent ly not satisfied with his devilish work. the murderer dealt 6 second blow with the handle, and again broke it. He was arrested by the party as whose house the horrible affair took place, and turned over to Marshal Roche.
 The party who did the killing is an old man 69 years of age. He has long white beard, and walks with stopped shoulders and tottering step. Evidently, he IS crazy, and has been SO for some lime, but no one dreamed os She mur- ferrous direction his insanity would eventually lead him to.
