An Attempt Made to Blow Up an InfdeI

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12.-An at
tempt was made TO blow up the Office
of The Ironclad Age, an infidel paper,
published at So Indiana avenue. in this
city, Saturday night. The office is To-
Gated in a large building, the upper
floors of which are rented to families.
Miscreants entered the Office through
the cellar and, after turning on the
natural gas in two stoves, lighted a
lamp.
The pipes We're removed from the
stoves in order TO prevent the gas from
escaping through the fues and the
doors and windows were carefully
closed and locked The men even took
the precaution to close "A transom which
had been left open about two inches in
order to let in pure air. The persons
in the plot then left the building. clos
ing and locking all the doors behind
them.
The expected explosion was prevent
ed, however, by the arrival Of the
editor of the paper, who discovered the
condition of affairs and opened the
doors and turned ont the gas. The
paper is very bold in its denunciations
of all forms of the Christian religion
and it is believed that the attempt to
blow it up was made because of the
bold stand it has taken in the matter.

KILLED HIS WIFE.

Head

Head
RAvENNA, Neb., March 14.-John
Brecht, young German farmer living
several miles south of Ravenna, shot
his wife, bride of four months, and
then blew out his own brains with
shotgun. His 14-year old stepson ran
to the house of neighbor, mile or
more away, and told him what had hap
pened. A party of neighbors immedi-
stely proceeded to Brecht's house and
forcing an entrance beheld terrible
sight. Stretched at full length on the
floor near the door lay the dead body of
Brecht, with hole as large as base
ball through his head. The suicides
head rested i'm pun of crushed and
broken eggs and a shotgun Law across
his rigid form. Near the threshold OF
the door leading to the bedroom lay
Mrs. Brecht, blood yelling from a
ragged gunshot wound just back of the
left ear.
When found the woman was still
breathing, but insensible, and died a
few hours later without gaining con-
seriousness. Evidently there had been
desperate struggle between Brecht
and mis- wife before the shooting. After
shooting his wife he tied string to his
foot and connecting it with the trigger
of the shotgun, and placing his right
eye to the muzzle tripped the trigger
with his foot.
Mrs. Brecht was the widow of Vencil
Blaschko and was the owner of large
stockfarm. Brecht came here from
Clay county soon after Blaschko died
and was employed by the widow to do
the teamwork. About four months
ago they were married. Mrs. Brecht
talked with her neighbor. Frank
Schulter, administrator of her first
husbands estate, and told him that
Brecht had threatened her life and she
feared he would do her harm
