Late Friday afternoon a most horrible tragedy
was enacted in Sufield township, about one mile
east of Mogadore. John and Henry Olinger
were brothers, aged respectively 40 and 27 years.
John was married, and lived on a farm adjon-
ing the old Olinger homestead where Henry,
who was unmarried, lived with a sister. The
brothers had quarreled bitterly ever since the
death of their father, over the division of the
property and Friday their differences cu1mna-
ted in one of the most horrible and blood cur
ding tragedies on record. Friday afternoon,
hearing some one chopping in his woods, John
went to ascertain who it was, and discovered
his brother telling tree. He promptly ordered
him off the place, and in an alteration between
them, Henry pulled out a revolver and shot
John in the fcshy part of the left leg. At this
.juncture, a large dog belonging to John, attack
ed Henry, and so disconnected his aim that the
future shots went wide of their mark, the animal
however, being badly wounded. Henry then
went home, and telling his sister to take care of
his team, went into the house and got breech
loading shot gun. His sister noticed his excited
manner and inquired what the trouble was,
and what he was going to do with that gun. He
told her that he had shot and wounded Johns
dog, and was going back to finish the animal
He went straight to his brothers house, and
confronting him near the door of his home,
said, 81 am going to finish you now. John
st arted to run around the house, followed by
Henry, who fired charge of shot which struck
John in the left side near the hip, the distance,
however, being SO great that no vital organs
were penetrated. Henry then came closer to
his brother, who implored him not TO fire again.
But the appeal was in vain, and the next instant
Johns left arm was torn into mass of shatter-
ed flesh and bones, being almost blown OFT at
the elbow. Henry then returned home, went
to his room and put cartridge into one of the
b arres. removed one shoe and stocking, placed |
the muzzle of the gun in his mouth, and pulled |
the trigger with his toe. The whole top of his |
head was literally blown off, the blood and
brains bespattering the walls and every object |
in the room, presenting a most sickening sight. |
At the latest accounts John was getting along as
well as could be expected. His arm was am |
putated below the elbow and his physician says |
he will recover if no complications set in.
