The Keeper of Chicago Saloon Murdered
by HOusebreakers.
Mrs Gretchen Lenzenhagen and her if
teen-year-old son George were found dead in
the formers saloon at 444 South Clark street
Chicago, yesterday morning. The woman
was choked to death by unknown robbers, who
then beat and choked the boy until life left
his body. The robbers forced open
the till in the saloon and ransacked
the drawers behind the bar. The three living
rooms Of the woman in the rear of the saloon
also showed signs of the work of the murder
ers. The bed clothing was torn from the beds.
drawers were from the bureau and the contents
scattered all over the floor. Everything which
was capable of concealing any valuables was
thoroughly ransacked.
Mrs. Lenzenhagen and her son lived alone
and made but few intimate acuuaintances,
but the woman had frequently expressed her
lack Of confidence in banks and it was COM
monty rumored around the neighborhood that
she had considerable wealth secreted about the
premises. The woman was last seen when she
closed her saloon shortly before midnight The
police are endeavorins to find out who were
her last customers and expect that they will
soon have some definite clue to the per-
petrators.
