ORPHAN BOY IS
SHOT BY HORN|NG
Bullet Passes Through Hawk
and Is Embedded in Hand
of Orphan Lad.

Walter Kuhlman, an inmate of the
Wernle Orphans home, was the victim
of an accidental shooting Sunday
morning that may result in the perma.
nent impairment of his right hand.
The orphan in company with other
boys of the home was on his way to
attend services at St. Johns church
While passing along Beallview park
he suddenly gave cry of pain. His
companions saw him holding up his
hand, and upon investigation saw that
it was bleeding.
One Of the boys remembered that he
had just heard the report Of a rifle
Investigation showed a piece of flat.
tened lead in the hand. The boys tried
to remove the bullet, but were unsuc.
and two physicians, after splitting
open the hand, finally succeeded in ex.
tricating the bullet.
Sunday evening Howard Horning, a
resident of the south side, called at
the orphanage and said that he had
fired the bullet. He explained that he
had wounded a hawk and that he fired
a second shot at the bird Hopping on
the ground. The bullet was DETECTED
and struck the lad
The Wernle authorities will not
press a charge against Horning, as
they believe there was no malice in
the act. The attention of the police
was called to the shooting by south
side residents. Young Kuhlman came
to the home recently from Greenville
Ohio.

PLYMOUTH, Wis. Oct. 2S.-Fred
OFT, Mrs. OFT and Fred Hunt, father
of Mrs. OFT, were found murdered in
the OFT home here today. They had
been shot to death. There was evidence
of desperate struggle in the room
where the bodies were found.
AS soon as the murders became
known the authorities began search
for Alvin Loehr, son-in-law of the
Otis. The triple murder was discov-
cred when OFT failed to appear at his
this morning.
An employe was sent to search for
him. The door of the OFT home was
found open and the bodies were lieing
on the floor The interior of the house
was wreck. Furniture had been over
turned and broken, and the floor of
the room was splattered with blood.
Just when the shooting occurred is
not definitely known but it is believed
, that the victims had been dead for
some hours when they were found.

miles west of Shoboygan.
The body OF Alvin Loehr was found
several hours later, swinging from a
tree in the woods near here, where he
had hanged himself
Mrs. Loehr accuses her husband Of
the crime, although the only witness
was her four year old son. The lad
said he saw his father with a shotgun
fire on the Otis and Mr. Hunt.
Loehr and his wife, a daughter Of
the Otis, separated about three years
ago. The woman says she was in con-
stant fear of her husband. Sunday
night he appeared at the OFT home and
she fled to an upstairs room and con-
cealed herself. She heard angry voices
and finally the noise of a shotgun re-
peatedly fred A few minutes later
the little boy knocked at the door, ex-
claiming, grandpa is dead. so is
grandma and so is old grandpa Papa
did it. / saw him shoot"
Mrs. Loehr took the lad into the
room and locked the door again. She
was afraid to go downstairs and for
some hours waited in the room Then
she went below, finding the three dead
bodies. Her parents and her grand
father had been riddled with charges
from a shotgun and her husband had
left.

DEMOCRATIC VIEWPOINT.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2s.-In a statement
simultaneously issued in Chicago and
New York today Chirman McCombs
OF the Democratic national committee
declared Wilson would sweep the
country in the election Mr.. McCombs
predicted Roosevelt will run second
and President Taft will be third In the
presidential race. Thousands of Repub-
licans. McCombs says, will vote for
Wilson.
What in reason could be anticipat-
ed from a Roosevelt administration
except turmoil and strife?" the state
ment reads. In another place /. refers
to Wilson as "all that is best, most
rational and attainable."
The statement also says: ct becomes
my duty as chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee at the be-
ginning of the last week of the cam
paign to convey two messages to the
millions of citizens who are striving to
uphold the principles of constitutional
and popular government by electing
Woodrow Wilson president of the
United States.
Sees Great Victory.
The first is of good cheer. A pains
taking. unprejudiced examination OF
reports from all sources fully justi-
fies the expectation of a sweeping
victory in November. The party
which polled six million votes four
years ago is united absolutely. The
