AN OHIO TRAGEDY,
Farmer Hess and His Two Sons
Shot and His Home Blown
Up.

Fremont, O.. May 16.--A terrible trag-
edy occurred last night one mile east of
the village of Lindsay and about eight
miles from this city, in which one man
was killed outright and two sons are in
such a condition that death may result
at any moment.
night and evidently was we'll planned.
At this hour of the night the family of
Jacob S Hess was aroused by an eX-
plOSlon which shattered their home but
no one Yves injured. Mr.. Hess and his
two sons Immediately prepared to leave
the house TO ascertain the cause and
they had hardly stepped out when a shot
was fired and the old gentleman dropped
over dead.
Another shot and one of the sons fell
pierced in the breast with a quantity CT
buckshot Again a shot and another
son was wounded. The fcnd then es
capped and thus fcr has not been cap
tured. Suspicion points strongly to the
deed having been committed by young
farmer named Louis Billau who has been
desperately in love with the daughter of
Mr. Hess but his suit has been strenu-
ously opposed by the father and also the
brothers.
Lately he has been prohibited from
making calls and this so enraged him
that he has been nearly wild. People
who know the young man think that he
has brooded over the love affair so much
that he has become insane.
The sheriff and posse started at once
to capture the man, but so far have not
been able to locate him. A report
has since been received which says one
of the sons have died and that the other
will probably recover.
