HARRISBURG, July ia friend OF the
family IN this city says that Annie krelder,
whose parents and four brothers and sis
ters were murderedin Dakota last week,
will probably lose her mind. She is now
at her grandfather's, near Elizabethtown,
and her condition is pitiable. She has slept
little since the tragedy, and cannot eat.
The attending physician Is Of the opinion
that she will not recover, and IL she does,
that her mind will be shattered. A brother
Of the murdered man, who lives at Cone
WACO, Lancaster county, left for Dakota to
nuperintend the harvesting Of the crop and
the sale Of the property for the benefit OF
the surviving children. II Is believed now
that the reason Bomberger did not Kill
Annie and the two little ones was because
his ammunition was exhausted.
