SET DOGS AFTER SUSPECT
Woman 6rutaIy Slain; Granddaughter
Murderou5Iy Attacked.

MufueTouSly Attacked.
Bloodhounds from Greene and Fay
cite counties, Pa, are securing the
vicinity of Rices Landing, Pa, in hope
OF running down Walter Thomas, aged
seventeen, who had been employed at
the Price farm for the last three years.
Thomas is suspected of knowing
something about the murder of Mrs.
Oliver Price, aged fifty-fve, and the
murderous attack on the woman's
granddaughter, aged twelve. Nothing
of value is missing from the Price
homestead excepting a revolver, which
was the property of the elder Price.
The body of the victim, Mrs. Oil
yer Price, was found lying lifeless
on the floor of her bedroom at the
Price homestead. She had been
beaten to death with heavy blunt
hammer. Two wounds were inflicted
on the head each more than two
inches in length, and each temple
showed a wound an inch to an inch
and half in length. Any one of the
four blows would have been sufficient
to cause almost instant death.
Lying on an old rag carpet rug in
the yard at the rear of the Price home
was Bertha Fox, aged twelve, grand
daughter, who made her home with
the Prices. She, too, had been beaten,
evidently with the same weapon which
had meted out death to Mrs. Price.
The girl was breathing, but uncon-
scious. She was taken to a Pittsburg
hospital and on the way was able to
talk, in broken sentences only, CON
cerning the attack.
