TELL CITY, Ind, Feb. 12-William II.
Artman, farmer, living about six miles
northeast of Tell City, this morning killed
his wife and Oldest son. John Eads and
William Nagle were the first to reach the
house. They found Artman lying on the
floor with his murdered wife and boy.
AS soon as they entered the house Artman
jumped up and rushed at them like an in
furiated wild beast, and it was with great
difficulty that they overpowered him. The
family were eating breakfast when the
crime committed. Artman, in the
presence of his five children, stamped his
wife to death. Her left breast was torn
off, the collar bone broken, ID she was
terribly mangled about the s,5mach and
abdomen. Her left eye was cut out with
pocket knife The oldest boy, aged twelve,
tried to defend his mother, and he suf-
fered the same fate at the hands of his
enraged father. Coroner Labhard and his
deputy, H. Nimsgern, found the boy lying
across his mother, his arms around her
neck His body was also terribly man
.gled. The mothers body was found entire
ly naked, and the other children had fled
to neighbor's almost naked and covered
with blood.
When taken in the room where the body
Of his wife and son lay Nimsgern asked
Artman whether he committed the deed,
and his answer was, Yes, Henry, 1 did.
l killed them both"
The bed clothing and furniture was scat
tered about the room, showing signs of a
terrible struggle Artman is about forty
years old, feet inches in height, and at
present is raving like maniac.
Artman conveyed to the county Jail
at Cannelton. The coroner has not rem
dered his verdict, but all indications point
to religious excitement as having caused
his madness and the horrible tragedy.

SpeCldl 10 the lHuldHdpOllS JOuIlldl
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 12.-George
Williams arrived here this evening from
Tell City, and brings news of a sensational
triple tragedy which was enacted a few
miles from there. AT noon farmer rode
post haste into town with the startling
news. The victims were William Artman,
a farmer, his wife and child The discov-
cry of the bloody crime was made during
the forenoon by neighbors. When the mes
senger left the scene of the crime no clew
had been discovered, nor had the motive
been learned. Some advanced the theory
that it was for robbery. and others that
venge had prompted the crime Some time
ago a peddler was murdered near the Art
man home, and the murderers were never
known, although broad charges were
quickly made against number of persons.
Some feared the peddler's friends had
marked Artman for victim, and had car
ried out the revenge at the first oppor-
tunity. Robbery, however, is the generally
accepted theory.
AS soon as the news of the murder was
received in Tell City Coroner Charles Lab
hardt, ex-Coroner Charles Nimsgern, the
sheriff and posse of armed men left for
the of tragedy. The report rapidly
spread about town, and during the after
noon a company of man-hunters was or
ganiZed and a start was made for the Art
man place. From there they were to start
on hunt for the men who did the crime.
The supposition is that the murderers es-
capped to Kentucky, and that the posse will
return emDty-handed.

A Clowns Tragic Death.

the crowd, when, with an awkwardness

rewarded By the applause of an intelli-

this kind of thing before, but never SC

The Railroad Commissioner Orders Ex-
tensive and Immediate Repairs
Trs.ins Must Move Slowly
$4,000 Ties Needed.

A petition, signed by all the business
men and leading citizens of this place,
was warded some six weeks ago TO
Railroad Commissioner Billings, calling
his attention To the tracks, bridges and
rolling stock of the S III. & +. X. r.,
claiming that the road was i'm danger
Gus and dilapidated condition and, in
the judgment of the petitioners, UNFIT
for the transportation of passengers
with reasonable safety. An immediate
and thorough inspection of the road by
the commissioner was prayed for.
In accordance with the petition, Com
missioner Billings detailed John Doyle,
superintendent of tracks of the Chicago
& West Michigan system, who Is one OF
the best track and bridge men in the
country, and Mechanical Engineer
Moore, of the state railroad department,
to make the desired inspection, and
their report, which has just been made,
proves true about all the petitioners
charged.
The bridges were found to be in fairly
good condition, with one or two excep-
tions, but it was recommended that inn
mediate repairs he made on all of them.
The bridge over Deer Greek, three
miles east of South Haven, was report
ed to he all right for winter use. but the
inspectors say il should have thorough
inspection against next spring.
Most of the culverts were reported to
be i'm bad condition, all of them in need
of immediate repair and some calling
for entire rebuilding next simmer.
The road was reported to be unsafe
for ordinary running, and the inspec-
tors recommended that the speed of
trains be limited to twelve miles per
hour.
The inspectors reported that the roll
ing stock was in bad condition and in
need of repairs, but they did not con-
slider it unsafe for use if proper and inn
mediate steps are taken To remedy cer-
tain defects.
The inspectors say that there should
be at least 5000 ties put in the track
this fall in order to make the road
reasonably safe for the winter. The
inspectors are of the opinion that at
least 10000 more ties will be required
for next year if the road is to be put I'm
safe condition for travel. The align
ment and surface was found to be in
fairly good shape, with the exception
of the curve one mile west of Paw Paw;
at the swamp two miles west of that
place, and near South Haven. Consid-
cradle fault was found by Messrs. Doyle
and Moore with the gauge of the track.
In conclusion the report says: "The
road and machinery does require ex
tensive and immediate repairs, but we
do not consider it necessary to suspend
operations, If diligence is exercised in
making the necessary repairs, aud IT Is
imperative that those stipulated be
made at once and in u practical man
ner"
Upon the receipt of the report of the
inspectors, Commissioner Billings at
once forwarded copy of it to General
Manager England, with orders to reduce
the speed OF all trains over his road to
twelve miles per hour, and to make all
the repairs recommended by the in
spectors at the earliest possible moment.
