or a Family.
A TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN ARKANSAS.
A Farmer Murders His wife and Child and
Then Commits suicide-A Family
Ouarrel-A Wife Murdered
Through Jealousy.

AKRON, O., March 30-At late hour
last night masked man entered the
farm house of Alvin M. Stone, near
| Talmadge, few m lies from this city,
and in brief space of half an hour
committed horrible butchery. When
he took his departure Stone and his
wife, both aged people, were lying
dead in bed, horribly mutilated, and
Ira Stillson, the hired man, and Emma
Stone, the eldest of the three daugh.
ters, were unconscious from blows dealt
by the murderer. Hattie, with the
blood streaming from the wounds in
her head, managed to reach q neigh
boris house, told her story and then
tainted. After she had been put TO
bed, the neighbor, calling for help,
went to the Stone house. There the
evidences of the butchery were discov-
cred. The only person in the house
who was able to speak was Flora
Stone. aged l6, and she was badly
frightened. For this reason all she
could tell was that the man who COM
mitted the crime wore mask over his
face.
The crime is a mystery. There is no
possible motive for the murders SO far
as can be learned. Certainly the muir.
derer was not bent on robbery, for in
bureau drawer in Mr.. Stones room
were two gold watches and some
money, and nothing had been taken.
The sheriff of Summit county was
called to the scene of the murder early
in the morning, and with a posse of
men he has been searching all day for
clews to the murder. Ira Stillson and
Emma and Hattie Stone have not yet
recovered consciousness and it is feared
Stillson ut least will die, while the
chances for the recovery of the two
girls are very small.
