Four of Family Killed With Axe.

Four Of Family Killed With Axe
family of four was wiped out by
blows from an axe in their home IN
the German settlement of Blue Island
a suburb of Chicago.
The victims were Jacob Neslesla
a German laborer; his wife, their
daughter. Mrs. Martha Mansfield, and
the latters infant child.
The stifened bodies and the blood
stained axe alone remained to outline
the story when the body of the man
was found in the attic and the others
in their beds.
Whether the butchery was the work
of a maniac or Of a person seeking re
venge was not disclosed in the hrst
cursory investigation. 1t was learned
that the young mother of the infant
had been living away from her hus-
band for some time and efforts to md
him were begun.
Nothing was taken from the house
II was the typical home OF a laborer
and the few trinkets the inmates
boosted were OF slight value.
The crime was discovered by ia
cob Neslesla, IT., a son OF the old pair
living in another part Of Blue Island
He is a track laborer and went to the
home of his parents to get a pail OF
water. He said he found the back door
one nand that he called to his mother
several times before he entered. Then
he found the bodies.
Bloody finger prints on the axe han
die we're photographed. Search was
instituted for William Mansfield, hus
band OF Martha, who is alleged to have
deserted her a year ago, and fol
Michael Cherewinki. The latter wai
compelled to vacate the Neslesla home
three weeks ago by the landlord in
order to make way for the new ten
ants. He is said to have uttered
threats against the landlord and Mes
Tesla.

navy would be able havoc among the vessels of the
British commercial fleet and cause trouble at home
The vessels carrying the oodstus reach Great Britain
from all parts of the world, and the larger part of the food
is obtained in British possessions far distant from home
This is shown in requisite wheat and according to the
British trade reports the mporaons for year are Just

and 50,ooo,ooo hundredwieght from foreign countries
The British figure wheat by the hundredweight of 1i2
pounds, but here the amount is figured in bushels
bushe of wheat is sixty pounds that hundredweght is
nearly two bushels by rough calculation From the Brit
