William Major, who killed his wife, his
daughter and his granddaughter. Major,
who is about 60 years old, and WELT do

daughter, were visiting the house,
and after conversation with them the
family retired. The people were

arose and began the work of slaughter,
He took a revolver and shot his wife as she
lay asleep, putting two bullets into her
body and mortally wovnding her and her
child He coolly fired a bullet at Mrs.
Depew, and when it failed to kill her he
procured an axe and knocked out her
brains. Then he pulled his little grand
daughter from beneath the bed clothing
and with one blow at the child, spit her
head open, killing her instantly. The. ne

to his ear

'Hold onin said the father, II heard you
