a check for to the staff treasurer for
s25, 900, the first money to be cred.-
ted to the school fund from sales OF
this year. They say $4,000 more

in, but this was to be credited to the
dispensary fund itself, the money
coming from sales of various kinds
and not representing profits at al.

through the chest. The wound in
Frederick's head b)re evidences OF
having been inflicted at close range,
and it appeared as IL he might have
been surprised and fell without a
struggle.
The elder brother seemed to have
tried to escape and was evidently
brought down after three bullets had
been fred into his body. Ole went
through the right arm, another en-
tered the right groin, a third the
fight chest cavity, passing through,
and the fourth through the throat.
evidence that the bodies had
been carried to the spot was found,
and it is believed the men were sur.
prised by an assassin, who followed
them, and that they fell almost at
the same moment. Their pockets
were turned inside out and their gold
watches and all Valuables were miss
ing. The autopsy developed that the
brothers had been slain with revolver
bullets Of heavy calibre.
