church on the north outskirts of the
city last evening, Mary, Is years of age

j. Peterson. a well to do dairyman,
were murdered by some unknown per
son. believed to be a negro. The boy
when found at midnight was live, hut
died within fifteen minutes, without
being allie to give a description of lis
aSSailant.
When "ssaulted the children were re-
turning from church where they had
been attending the evening service.
The bodies were discovered by the road
side by a farmer who heard the a
of the lad. Their heads a been crush
ed in. presumably by a brick.
The police, so far, are without a clew.
The body of the girl was found in d
ditch two feet deep. h had been
criminally assaulted. Her clothing was
badly torn. At the base of the head
she had been struck with some hard

of being pounded.
There are three girls and two boys in
Peterson'S family. Two of the girls de-
clare that a week ago they were chased
at the same spot by a man on their re-
turn during the evening from Highland
Park. They are unable to give a de-
scription of the man.

police that the murderer was a resident
of Marquisville. The tracks of two
men have been found leading from the
scene and were followed by the police,
but they soon led into a path where all
trace was lost.

age was arrested this afternoon on

A WHOLE
Good Food and Good Health.

This food tale from a trained nurse
is worth reading.
Il want TO tell you OF the curative
proprieties OF the good food Grape
Nuts, and will say they are a whole
fortune to anyone suffering as l did
for years with Il stomach so rebellious
as to be almost useless to me.
For years ami years 1 was tortured
with fiatulency. heart burn, bloating,
tenderness of the stomach, and many a
time 1 cried bitterly because of my
great distress.
One never to be forgotten day Sister
came up from Columbus to visit me.
She brought a package of Grap-Nuts
to see if the food would agree with me.
l found the new food very delicious
with cream, and it caused me no pain
or disturbance whatever.
To make a iong story short l have
been using Grape-Nuts ever since.
Have gained 20 pounds in five months
and my health is perfect. 1t is a pleas
ure to be plump and healthy and feel
we'll again. 1 am a professional nurse
and naturally appreciate this change
in my health" Lucy n. Richardson,
Box 164, Logan. Ohio.
