by residents of Clark street in Glen Elk
Saturday evening about g o'clock. 1t was
supper time and Ross Hoffman. street Ell
motorman had returned home from his
daily toll aud the supper table was
spread for the evening meal. But for
some reason an incident occurred that
delayed the parta<ing of the staff of
life. The neighbors heard the racket
and the little boys cries and rushed to
the Hoffman home to see what was the
matter. They found the head of the
household with blood streaming down his
head. In fact there was blood every
where in the room. \ plate broken all
10 pieces lay on the floor and a hysteri-
cal woman lay on the bed. The boy was
crying and running around the room
giving evidences of much fright and cx-
element.

those who had been attracted to the
house and ttcrc was every prospect that
man would bleed TO death but on. ever
