he passed through a section where for
two miles the frogs literally covered
the ground. The road was covered
and the ground In the woods as far as
could be seen on either side. They were
crushed beneath his horses feet as he
rode along. There were three kinds or
sizes, most OF them being the green So
called tree frogs" so abundant here.
The small ones were about an inch
long. the others being two and three
Inches. There were millions OF them
anc the noise they made was deafening.
He brought several along as specimens.
It's the general opinion here that the

came to Chicago from Rochester, N. Y.

On her return last June she found tina,

cording to his usual custom. He no
ticed that the morning rolls and the
luii mix can of his neighbor lay I'M
touched on the doorstep. and he stepped
10 the low window to call them. as he
nad often done before. Neither CIR.
rord nor his wife responded. but the
girl Musetta, hearing the call from the
room adjoining that of her mother.
where she had been sleeping. slipped
out oil bed and went into her mothers
room.
The sunlight that fell upon the bed
through the. half-closed shutters
sieamed on crimson bed clothing, on q
revolver by the bed side, and on the
oioou stained bodies of her parents.
screaming with fright, the girl ran to
the door and called Morris. who after
hastily looking into the room. went to
call the police. Then 1t was discovered
that Mrs. Clifford's throat had been cut
oy her husband, and that he had shot
himself In the right temple. Each APP
parehtly had died instantly, for there
was no evidences Of a struggle. Mrs.
Ciinord's body lay I'm the night clothing
IN a natural position, with the head
resting on the pillow as II I'm sleep. The
body OF Clifford lay across the foot OF
me he'd Glad In npl,I,tll.- -
trousers only. The woman's throat
apparently had been cut with one
stroke OF a butcher knife, which lay
with the revolver beside the bed. Her
race and the whole upper part of the
bed were stained with the blood from
her wound.
The police took possession of the bod
les, and a search was begun for some
thing that would throw light upon the
motive OF the crime. In the pocket OF
Clinord's trousers were found two
notes addressed to Mrs. Clifford and
signed by Gust A.. Penner. a recently
appointed police officer residing at
345 Grand venue. They were on pa
per bearing the heading OF the police
department, bore dates of Aug. 3 and
Aug. 4. and apparently had been re
ceived by Mrs. Clifford while on a tril
to st. Joseph, Mich. They were as
follows: Mol: Chicago, Aug .3.-Mrs. l..
