Found FoulIy Murdered in Front

NO REAL Clue TO MURDtR{RS
Evidences of Desperate Struggle Found
in Her HOuse-Sheriff Senos
for BIOOdhOunds.

Duluth, Aug. 10. - Mrs. George
murdered last night in the front yard
of her residence in Grand Rapids,
MINI. The whole northern part of the
state is shocked at the tragedy, and a
motive is wanting. The woman was
slashed to death with a knife, and
there is no real clue to the murderers
as yet.
The discovery was made at l o'clock
yesterday morning by Ben n Mi
chael Lieberman, who we're walking
home at that hour past the Cochran
home. They heard faint cries of dis
tress in the yard and made an investi-
cation. They were shocked to find
the aged woman covered with blood
and in a dying condition.
Blood Spurts From Many Wounds.
The woman expired in the arms OF
her would-be rescuers. and at no time
after they found her was she in condi-
ton to make a statement. At the
moment the men discovered her the
woman was trying to rise from the
ground and blood spurted in jets from
numerous wounds.
The men Immediately investigated
the house and found evidences of a
severe struggle. The furniture was
upset, the stove torn down and cur
tains pulled from their fastenings.
Some of the woman's clothing was
torn from her body.
Sheriff Hoolihan is working hard on
the case. He sent for bloodhounds
and they will be given the scent.
Robbery could scarcely have been
the motive, for the woman was poor.
