Three Members OF a Family
Cruelty Slain and Their
Bodies Dragged to Woods
ANOTHER IN DYING CONDITION
Authorities of MiddIetown, N. ", Are
Mystified and Unable to Find the
Motive for the crime-Two strans-
ers on Way to Mountains Are sus-
.pected.

Middletown, N Y, Oct. IA triple
murder was revealed here today when
the bodies of Willis and Fred Olney
were found in the woods half mile
from their home, where last night was
found the murdered body of Alice In
gerick. The brothers had been shot,
and Mrs. Georgia Ingerick, mother of
Alice, who was found unconscious in
the barn of the Olney brothers farm
last night, is dying from a fractured
skull. The pockets of the brothers
clothing were found turned inside out.
Marks in the underbrush showed the
bodies had been dragged from a
wagon to the spot where the bodies
were discovered.
The fact that an attempt was made
to kill every person who was known to
have been in the Olney house has
caused the police and entire neighbor-
hood to believe there We're other motives
crime and that the rifiing of the Olney
brothers pockets was only a ruse to
mislead the pursuers. AS yet no
plausible theory for the murders have
been advanced. Mrs. 1ngerick who
was separated from her husband, has
been employed as housekeeper at the
Olney brothers place only about a
month Her husband, Martin Inger-
ick, lived at Wurt2bero, not far from
Middletown.
-Four persons were in the house
about dark yesterday, according TO
Lulu Ingerick, who left the place
shortly before the tragedy. They were
Willis Olney, aged g. Fred olney,
aged 5S, Mrs. Ingerick and daughter
Alice. Lulu, aged 13, went to Middle
town, returning in time for supper
Finding the house empty, the girl
summoned the neighbors who searched
the premises. Alice was found dead in
the cellar, her head beaten with an
iron pipe Her mother was found in
the barn, apparently beaten by the
same instrument.
Willis Olney was a widower and
Fred was bachelor. In the house no
traces of robbery have yet been found
The only articles of value known to
have been taken from the brothers in
the rif1ing Of their pockets were two
silver watches. The police believe the
wagon which evidently carried the
murdered brothers to the woods il the
same vehicle which several persons
yesterday noticed in the vicinity Of the
Olney farm. Two strangers were in
the wagon, and they drove into the old
10 ,1,1,oods ,.nad about half n mile
away from the Olney home. This same
wagon was seen later going up the old
road. Then it disappeared in the
woods. At II o'clock at night, several
hours after the time it is believed the
murder was committed, wagon was
seen on the same road going away
from the vicinity Of the Olney farm to-
ward the mountains.

The platform favors mild or gradual

in exerting the great influence of his
office to bring an end to the terrible,
bloody war in the far east"
"The paramount issue at this time
before the people of Massachusetts is
relief from tariff restrictions. The eff
feet of this policy forced upon the
dominant republican party by the
greed of great and selfish interests has
been to cut Massachusetts, off from Its
national markets of sale and purchase
and to push the state toward the danger
line of industrial decline. 1t is shown
in trade reports, financial statements,
census returns. that while the indus
tries of the country as whole have
materially increased in the past de-
cade, those of this state have remained
nearly stationary. We believe that
sensible relief from these evils could
be obtained without disturbance to
business by placing upon the free list

MAIN IN COLLEGE ROW.
Wisconsin sophomores and Freshmen
Clash and Many Bones Are Broken.

Wisconsin Sophonores and Freshmen
Clash and Many Bones Are Broken.
Madison, Wis, Oct 1.-Two broken
legs. score of broken ribs, bad
scalp wound and many bruises were
the results Of the annual class rush
between the freshmen and sophomores
of the University of Wisconsin last
night.
Immediately after the first freshman
drill the members of the two classes
met on the lower campus. AS soon
as the freshmen emerged from the
gymnasium the upper class men train
ed several leads of hose carrying cold
water from city mains upon them.
Permission to use the hose and water
had been obtained from Mayor Curtis.
The freshmen for few moments were
thrown into confusion. They quickly
rallied, however, and soon put the cold
water brigade out of commission.
Duck Victims In Lake.
The real fight then began. Squads of
"freshies" and ssophs'' alternately
rushed members of the opposing class
to Lake Mendoza where the victims
were given a cold bath. Perhaps 500
students were doused in the lake. The
sophomores planted high pole on the
Y. NJ. c. A. grounds adjoining the
gymnasium grounds last night and
planned to raise their flag upon it..
President Van Hise, however, killed
their game by ordering the pole
chopped down. The "sophs" then
adopted nearby telephone pole, on
which they raised their banner. The
battle ragged fiercely around the pole
for more than an hour, the freshmen
frantically trying to get possession of
the flag, while the secondyear men
strenuously tried to protect it.
The rush was one of the fiercest ever
held here. a majority of the students
participating were almost disrobed dur
ing the scramble. The injuries Were
largely due to the efforts of the fresh
men trying to climb the pole whereon
several sophomores were perched
grimly defending their flag. The con-
tending forces used clubs. boards
pixies and everything else handy for
purpose of defense and offense.

Washington, Oct. ALI packers will

Wilson has secured the approval OF the
president to plan for selling the la

Chicago. Oct. THE formal opening
of the western football season was in
augurated here today, the University
of Chicago being pitted against the
University of Iowa, in the first meet
ing of representative teams OF the

pied condition of the regulars, Chicago
did not have the strongest team in the
field, and little was known Of the
strength Of the Iowa team, except
that they had defeated Coe and Mon

was clear and raw, and a snappy con-
test was assured.

the same thing, thus necessitating no
action on the part of this state.
1t is quite likely that when the board
of trustees of the State Agricultural
College get together it will recommend
to the Ames & College railway that it
adopt either electric power or gasolene
power. This will be done because Of
the smoke that th, ordinary steam en-
gines make and which is claimed to be
such a nuisance 10 the college.
The executive council will likely or
der that the old census books found
in the senate attic the other day, be
rebound. The find too has produced
another argument in favor of the hall
of archives which Curator Aldrich OF
the historical building a short time
since stated that ne would ask OF the
legislature. 1t is pointed out that VAL
liable documents rs valuable or even
more valuable thai these census books
are thrown about the state house some
where covered with dust and other de-
bris and that no one knows where to
go to find them. In the short history
vast amount of these documents that
have. accumulated. If there was a hall
of archives with a. extensive index 1t
would be known always right where
to find such things and the index
| would make the job short one The
census books that have been uncover

| or less though the condition or the
books generally is good. they used
better paper in those days than now
| and the ink and paper are all well pre-
served The census information then
was taken in books Of few pages, the
! pages being probably foot and half
square. These were then bound into
larger books. Several Of these books
/ contain the entire census for one year.
A great deal of valuable information
NOT obtainable in the census report
| is to be had from the books. The
books show the population of Marshail
county to have been 464. There were
! sixty-four farms in Page county then
and population ',f 465. The farms
were unsurveyed and are all taxed as
personal property. Polk county had
population of 457S, it's real estate was
! valued at $7S,300, and it's personal
property at s171,1oo There was one
Methodist church with seating ca
