murdered near here under circum.
stances indicating one of the most re.
voting crimes in the history OF the
state
The home Of the victims was burned
in an effort to destroy the bodies, but
two of them escaped the flames suffi-
ciently to show that the heads had
been split open with an AK.
The dead are:
Charles Pfandschmidt, his wife. their
16-year.old daughter Blanche, and
Miss Emma Kaempen. "a years old. a
teacher who was visiting Miss Pfand.
schmidt.
The killing occurred at the Pfand
schmidt country home at Payson,
sixteen miles from Quincy.
Bodies Are Burned.
The authorities believe that the
murder is the work of degenerate,
an "aX man" OF the same kind as the
perpetrators of similar ak murders in
Western states in the past year.
The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Pfard.
schmidt were burned beyond recogni.
ton, while only the head OF Miss
Kaempen aided in her Identification
The head of Miss Kaempen is well
preserved, and at the top of the skull
is a wound, evidently made with ar

The bodies of her parents had been

Indications are that the crime was
committed after the family had re

GERMI|.CARRlER
English Doctor Points Out
the Danger of Eating
UnWaShed Greens

y LONDON, Aug 2.-DF. .Fegen, the
medical officer of the Croydon rural
district, in his annual report, states
that he has given much attention to
water-cress beds, 'as the typhoid ba-
cillus almost invariably gains access
to the human body by the digestive
tract-among other ways by the eat
ing of water-cress The water supply
to these BEDS" het says, has from
time to time been bacteriological1y ex-
amined, with view to ascertaining
the presence or otherwise of abnor-
NAL quantities of the bacillus coil. 1t
is possible that some cases of typhoid
fever have originated among the
workers in the water-cress beds, and
it is as well to point out that possible
infection may not DE actually derived
from the water supplying these beds,
which may or may not be sewage pol
luted, but where the beds are in the
vicinity of roads and footpaths it is
possible that material may be washed
therefrom into the beds themselves or
into the water supplying the beds. A
more important point is the possible
contamination of the beds owing to
the habits Of the workers on them, or
of the persons - generally of the
hawker class-whO hang about the
beds while the Water-creSS - being
gathered for them to take away to
bunch and sell in the poorer streets
of the locality or of London. If one
of these gatherers or hawkers is SUIT
fering from a mild or ambulatory at
tack OF typhoid fever, it is extremely
possible for him to cOntaminate the
water supplying these beds through
what may be deposited in the vicinity,
1t should be clearly understood that
it IS extremely advisable that any per
sons buying water-cress should not
only have some idea as to where it
was grown and through whose hands
it may have passed. but should assure
themselves before eating i: that It has
been thoroughly washed in running
water
