their machinery In motion for all II
was worth. while the Turks. either on
account of their preoccnpation with

quest Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
in Undertaken w. II. Wilens rooms

ply Knadler, who was found dead at

by Prosecuting Attorney A. b. Noll

on the brain of Mr.. Knadler, on the
left side of the head near the top, as
though the man had peen struck on
the head or had fallen on his head,
and that they also found marks on his
throat as though he had been choked.
The testimony of several witnesses
tended to show that Mr. Knadler and
his son John d. Knadier had quar-
rel in tho kitchen at supper time, that
is about o'clock Monday evening,
but they were separated before eth
or was much hurt. All said that John
d. Knadler threatened then to Kill

about O'Clock Monday evening when
he left the house When search was
afterwards masie IN the neighborhood,
which continued until after 10 o'clock
that night, and he could not be found
it was believed that he had gene mp
to thu barracks i'll the Stewart orchard
where he could sleep comfortably and
be away from his son.
