awoke Mrs kearby, who had been
asleep with her husband, and She
screamed for help to two soas, who
were sleeping upstpirs, before she
was struck. The two sons hastily
got up and went down stairs, but
the robber had heard them and fled +,
leaving the sickening sight Of their
father and mother weltering in their
blood to show the brutality OF the
assassin.
Neighbors were Immediately
aroused, physicians called, and
search began to find the blood
thirsty scoundrel. kilograms were
sent to Seymour and Cincinnati for
blood hounds. The dogs with their
owners arrived on sunday. But a
light fall of snow on Sunday morn

Seymour dogs arrived several hours
first, and took trail leading in a
South-eaSterly direction, and fol-
lowed it about two miles, enough to
create a suspicion that young man
named Winlnger, or some o.e at
that place, was the guilty PARTY.
When the Cincinnati dogs arrived
they took the same trail, and car
ried it a little closer toward the
Wineinger place, but both sets lost
the trail in some low land.

vailed, and strong threats OF a

there Is a deal on whereby the vast coal

pass into the hands OF British syndicate.

fered by the British syndicate Is $1,000 600.
II was stated ia this city yesterday that
while il is believed the syndicate VIII
sooner or later secure possession Of the
Black Diamond mines. the price they viii
pay viii be more than 100000. The
property IS one of the finest on the pacific
coast, and It's owners are not men VINO
have any reason for selling unless they
are paid a good figure. Business men
who are acquainted with the interests OF
the Black Diamond company say that the
King county property is worth more than
a million. The company or syndicate that
secures II for 81 600 would ind that it
was a safe investment and one that
would bring good returns.
During the past two years great progress
has been made In the development and
