MURDERED AND CREMATED
Fate of George Kaufman, a Young Farmer
Living Near Sterling, III.
Went to Guard HIS Fathers Granary-
Burning Straw Stack.

STERLING, ILL.,, June 2.-Robbed, mur-
dered and cremated. This tells the awful
fate of George Kaufman, a young farmer
living near here. He stood guard over his
fathers granary to protect it from thieves,
who killed him at his post and sought to
wipe out the evidence of their fiendish
crime with fire.
There is no clue to the murderers but
bloodhounds are on the trail.
George Kaufman was the son of To-
bias Kaufman, prosperous farmer liv-
ing about five miles north of Sterling He
was twenty-five years old.
Farmer Kaufman has two dwelling
houses with about a quarter of mile be-
tween them. He left his old home for his
present dwelling. about a year ago, but
continued to use some of the buildings at
tached to the former residence Lately
kauffmann discovered that thieves were
ra.oing his granary, located near the old
residence. He asked his son George to
take up his night quarters in the deserted
nome and watch for the plunderers.
George began his vigils two weeks ago.
He was unsuccessful, and regularly went
back to the other house for his breakfast.
Yesterday he did not come at the usual
hour. The family waited some time with
out concern. Then his father became
alarmed and started for the old house ac-
companied by Charles Schrader, the hired
man. They went to the house first, but
there was no trace of the young man.
They noticed that the straw stack had
been nearly burned down, and was
sun smouldering, and went to examine it.
They were Mortified to find on the ton of
the smoking stack the body of young
kaunmann, burned to crisp and with ali
MS clothing consumed. The victim had
Deen ciubbed and his skull crushed. His
throat had been cut and the head was
near heariy severed from the body. A bullet
nole showed that the murderer had shot
the young man.
several persons in the neighborhood are
unoer suspicion, but there is no evidence
to warrant their arrest.
me surrounding country is intensely ex-
cited over the brutal work of the criminal
ana the friends of the young man are
demanding vengeance.
