FIVE THROATS CUT.


Murder and Suicide Committed by the
Husband and Father.
NILES, O., Dee. 23.-This community
was startled by the discovery of one OF
the most wholesale and bloody butcher
les that have ever occurred in this part
of the State. The victims, five in num-
Der, are Charles Shelar and wife, and
three childr, A and the crime is supposed
to have taken place at an early hour yes
terday morning. When the inhuman
deed was discovered at about six o'clock |
last evening all five bodies were cold
and stiff in death with their
! throats cut from ear to ear. Shelar
and his wife were lying together
across the foot of the bed; the three
children we're on the floor in different
parts of the house. Shelar was mill
man, and had steady employment, but OF
late drank heavily, and it is rumored
that he and his wife did not live hap
PLY together. The theory advanced IS
that Shelar in fit of madness, cut
the throats of his wife and children
and then his own. Shelar and his
wife were born and reared in this
city. The weapon used was razor,
: and was purchased by shelar OF
G hardware dealer Saturday evening
The eldest child was seven years OF age
7 and the youngest two years. Although
d the wife had an excellent reputation
l. jealousy is attributed as the cause OF th'
= crime. Shelar was in good clrcnln
o stances. Kittic Meeker, a little siste
" of the murdered woman, caused the dls
I'd covery of the tragedy. She went to tn
S. house to deliver the evenings milk, a
usual. and was unable to gain ADM
tance to the house Charles Mos
II, man was in the vicinity, and sl
J.. told him about it. He went with h'
