TWO CENTS
HORRIBLE CRIME.
Aged Man Foully Murdered
Near Warrington.

Tremendous Explosion wrecks HIS
Home as He Sleeps and Kills Him In
stantiy-Revenge Thought TO have
Been ut the Bottom OF the foul
| Crime.
Robert P. Floyd was instantly killed
and his wife was fatally Injured on
Wednesday night near Warrington by
an explosion under their home. There
is no clue TO the criminals who caused
the explosion although heavy rewards
have been offered both by the heirs OF
Mr.. Floyd and by the county.
Mr.. Floyd was 70 years OF age. He
was formerly owner OF the Floyd House
at Warrington but had retired from
business recently and was living In
the country near Warrington.
Before midnight an explosion oc.
CURED which wrecked his home and
killed him. His wife who was sleep
Ing with him narrowly escaped death
and the hired girl was also injured to
some extent.
Evidence presented to the coroners
jury showed that the explosion had
been caused by nitro-glycerine which
had been placed directly under the
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd.
The criminal had crawled for thirty
feet under the house to place the
charge In the proper position to carry
out bis plan.
Nothing about the house indicated
robbery although there was large
sum OF money In the house.
1t Is thought that the motive for
the crime was revenge although IL is
not known that he had an enemy who
would stoop to such base act.
It Is believed that the murderer
knew all about the house and It's in
terror arrangements as he placed the
explosive just where it would explode
under the bed of his sleeping victim.
Large rewards have been offered by
the county and by the heirs of the
dead man. Sheriff Jolliffe of Marion
county has been on the scene constant
ly but he has discovered no evidence
which will aid in running the murder
er to earth.

No Board Walk Yet.

Employees of the Marilla Glass
factory have no way To get to town
except by walking the railroad
tracks. They should have board
walk BY all means. They mean to
make Morgantown their permanent
home and they are a fine class of
citizens. All of the improvements
made on the Peninsula so far have
been paid for out of private pockets.
The company did not get any bonus
from the town and they certainly
deserve some consideration at the
hands of the municipality.
