THE body of William Swader, of
Adams Corners, Huron County, was
found in his barnyard, with his head
full of shot, his skull crushed, and other
terrible marks of violence. The most con-
elusive evidence points 20 his son as the
perpetrator, and he was arrested and
lodged in the Huron County jail at Bad
Axe. An attributed cause of the crime
Is the estate. The son had an idea that a
portion of the property would become his,

known as slack the Hair-Cutter" and
the other as "Jack tho Clipper" The
latter wrote letter TO Miss Tilie Kuhn,
a milliner, telling her that she was to be
the next victim. This so frightened her
that she did her hair up as tightly as
possible and armed herself with an UNI
brella. The "Clippcr" leaped out of an
alley as she was passing, but was unable
to get her hair owing TO her screams,
which he could not stifle, and the gallant
defense she made. The man fled and
Tillie ran into store. Her umbrella
was found on the sidewalk, plentifully
sprinked with blood. About the same
hour "Jack the Cutter" in a remote Sec
tion of the city, tried to shear the locks

twelfth victim.
