step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing of anything but a fine
race of men was to doubt truth
itself
With this in view Dillon had pro-
posed to and been rejected by Enid
she having chosen to bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy Langhorn.
The week following the blasting Of
his hopes found Dillon escaping into
the country where he wanted to for

while he was thus engrossed, that
wan-eyed, anemic, Elsie Lane passed
him by.
John Dillon cast but a fleeing
glance at her; he was in no way in
terested in girls since Enid had turned
him down, and least of all would care
to rest his eyes upon the dropping,
listless figure of Elsie Lane.
The girl, in turn, watched him
with covert scrutiny. Rumor had it
that this man was going about the
village expressing more or less unflat-
tering opinions regarding the lack of
well-balanced, healthy women in the
world
Elsie had taken these opinions as
personal. Beneath the temporary list
lessness of her manner there was a
something that had caught fire at his
words. Elsie realized that she herself
was wan-eyed and pale, but that was
because her heart was broken and
her life ruined. Hadn't her father re
fused to let her marry Jack Rollins?
Although she was incensed at John

FAMILY SLAIN
WHILE ASLEEP
Two Girl Guests Also Murdered

MAKE GRUESOME DISCOVERY
Jose Moore, a Merchant OF ViIlisca

Two Young Women Guests Muir
dered In Their Beds.

Nillisca. IOwa.--Joseph Moore, d
prominent Villisca business man, and
wife and four children and two young
women were found murdered Monday
morning in the Moore home. Their
heads had been mashed and an AK
covered with blood and hair was
found.
The dead are:
Joseph Moore and wife.
Herman Moore, II years old.
Catherine Moore. 3 years old
Boyd Moore, years old.
Paul Moore, 6 years old.
Miss Edith Spillinger - years old
Miss Blanche Spillinger, IS years
old
All we're murdered in their beds.
There is no definite clue to the muir.
derer. but search is being made, it is
said, for one person suspected by the
authorities.
Owing to the terrible mutilation the
identity of the two young women
could not at first be established. They
were believed to be Mrs. Van Glider
and her daughter, relatives of the
Moores. Later they were positively
identified as the Spillinger sisters,
daughters of wealthy farmer living
few miles from Nillisca, who had
been in attendance at a church enter

No robbery was committed, and il
seems that only a desire for revenge
could have prompted the murder, un

thrown out, as though she had awak

arm seems to confirm this impression
All the other bodies, including that OF
the other Spillinger girl, who occupied
the bed with her sister lay in natural
positions of slumber. The bed covers
had not been disarranged.
A lighted kerosene lamp was found
on the floor in the middle OF the room
