and rode away. The coroner's

The skull of each child had been
indented and all but one had been
stabbed in the neck and their lit
tie bodies were badly burned.
When the father was called before
the coroner's jury to testify he

Of tho Democratic voters who were
qualified to vote.
DR.. John G. Fahey, the nominee
for mayor, is physician Of good
standing and large practice. William

the nominee for city solicitor, proved
himself, during previous tern of two
years, one Of the best city solicitors

nomination in the Northern district
was secured by benjamin f. Rawnslcy,

That tho railroad people suffer serious

the people suffer, for they have to pay
the costs involved in tho arrests and
