AN INSANE MANS CRIME.
He Shoots His Two Employers, Fello'
Clerk and Then Suicides,

He Shoots His Two EN- ployers, n Fellow
Clerk and Then Suicides.
TIFFIN, O., March 16.-The most ap
palling tragedy that has ever beer
recorded in the history of Tiffin oc-
CURED at o'clock Tuesday morning.
Walter A. Snyder, one of the wealthiest
and most popular young men in the
city, while engaged in a friendly con-
versation with two of his employers,
Burton w. Crobaugh and Edward T.
Naylor, suddenly and without a word
of warning, pulled a revolver and began
firing at them. Crobaugh was struck
in the back, and two balls passed
through MAYORS body. Thomas w.
Downey, a fellow clerk, interfered and
was shot three times.
Snyder then ran upstairs and put the
remaining bullet in his revolver through
his own heart.
The scene of the tragedy was the
hardware store of j. M. Naylor, one
of the oldest establishments in the city.
For many years L. t. Naylor, half
brother of the proprietors, Crobaugh and
Snyder have been employed in the store,
and they have been like brothers. Last
week the senior Mr.. Naylor announced
his determination to make change in
the firm, by the admission of Crobaugh
and the younger Naylor. Snyder was
worth probably $4,000, and was un-
married, but his money was so tied up
in real estate that he was unable to take
an interest.
This seems to have 50 preyed upon his
mind as to produce insanity, for there is
no doubt that his work was that of a
madman.
Physicians were hurriedly summoned
and the wounded men given every at
tention.
Snyder died instantly, but his imper-
feet aim may possibly save the lives of
his intended victims, though there is
little hope for Downey, whose injuries
are supposed to be fatal.
Naylor is also so badly injured that it
seems impossible for him to recover.
Crobaugh is thought to have received
but flesh wound, and he will doubtless
be about his business within the next
week.
All save Snyder were married and
have families.

DESCENDING.
The Sword of Justice on a No.
tOrious Combine
Composed of Armour, Morris
Swift and Others.

They Dealt in Dressed Meats, and by a
Perfected System Controlled Many
States-The ''Big Three" Preparing
for the Inevitable by Burning Books.
Members Absent "for Their Health"
CHICAGO, March 16.-The Morning
News says:
The department of justice at Wash
ington is after the "Big Three"
A thorough overhauling of the meth
ods of the powerful meat combine is
about to be begun, and recent occur
rences indicate that the combine is pre-
pairing things accordingly.
Members of the Combine.
For years the combine has had its
headquarters in Chicago. Its members
are: Armour & Company, of Chicago;
the Armour Packing company, of Kan
sas City; the Cudahy Packing company,
of Omaha; Nelson Morris & Company,
of Chicago, and the house at st. Louis,
and G. +. Swift & Company, of Chicago.
Controlled Many States.
The combine has been in existence five
years. 1t has perfected its system so
that at present it has completely in it's
grasp the states of Indiana, Michigan.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and all the New Eng
land states.
How 1t Worked.
Its operation is as follows: A clear
ing house. with offices in the Montauk
block in this city, receives daily returns
of the sales of each member. Each
member is entitled to a certain per cent.
of all the money paid in. The members
pay forty cents per one hundred pounds
of meat sold. At the end of each week
the clearing house apportions the total
payments among the members accord
ing to the percentage.
The clearing house is in the charge
of William M. White Under his watch
full care the books have been kept. The
place that knew Mr.. White, however,
knows him no longer. He has vanished,
and even his name has disappeared from
the directory of the building.
Books Burned.
Last Saturday, it is said by knowing
persons, Secretary White began to put
out of the way all memoranda and books
showing the history of the combine and
its doings, so there would be no undue
annoyance in the investigation about to
be started by the federal department of
justice. "The fact is" reports an inves-
tigator, "the books We're burned"
Gone Away for Their Health.
While clouds are thickening over the
heads of the big meat combination and
the wheels of the law are about to be
set in motion against it. several of it's
members have gone elsewhere.
Nelson Morris lately went to Califor-
mia for his health. His condition, how
ever, does not prevent his supervision of
the construction of the new stockyards
near San Francisco
G. F. Swift is also out of the way of
annoying estigating committees, as
are most Of the important members of
the business household of Swift e. Nor
ris.
Some are thought to be in Florida,
others in Mexico.
There appears to have been an un-
usual hegira about the time the govern
ment was thinking of beginning an in
vestigation.

Condolences.

About sixty-four years ago Thomas Carr,
living near Mendoza, in Jackson county,
Ind, set out an apple orchard on his farm,
about one-half mile southwest of Middle
vile, and having two apple trees left, he
gave them to his sons, John and G. w.
The boys set these trees out along the fence
near the orchard, and they both grew well.
John was the first to die, and on the day
ne died his tree fell, G. ~. lived to be an
old man, became known as a colonel, was
chairman of the convention that framed
the present constitution of Indiana, and
died only few days ago at Charlottesville.
It is a coincidence that his tree also fell on
the same day he died.-lndianapois Jour
