Mo clew Found.

That such crime had been com
mitted in a thickly settled neighbor-
hood and left unrevealed for three
days is regarded as incredible. Not
even footprint is to be found on the
floor of either house, and not a per.
son could be found who had seen any
one about the premises since Sunday
afternoon. when all the murdered per-
sons at different times were in the
neighboring grocery store.
SO far as can be learned, there is no
motive for the crime. Both the Burn.
ham and Wayne families were of
moderate means.

the young lady campers for ride
Friday evening. There were four
boat loads and it was a jolly party.

"13". However, nothing of an I'M
toward nature happened until the
dock was reached on the return trip
when one of the passengers foolishly
attempted to walk on the water for
the six or seven feet between the
boat and the landing. Evidently her
faith did not exceed that Of Peter,
as in the twinkling of an eye only her
head was visible. She was promptly
rescued in moist condition.
