Clothing Removed

There is absolutely no trace o1
! clothing Of any kind. The dirt about
the skeletons was carefully examined
for trace of buttons. shoes, etc, but
nothing was found, Indicating that
the bodies had been buried nude
their clothes probably destroyed by
fire, thus effectively destroying the
possibility Of identification at this
time.
Examination Of the skull Of the sin,
gle victim, and probably the most
recent murder victim, indicates that
the man had a crooked nose. the mas
al bone being slightly bent toward
the left.
Each Killed in Same Manner
That some sharp instrument was
used in killing the members Of the
family, also is indicated. There is a
sharp and clearly defined hole in the
left side Of the skull Of each. The
skull Of the single victim is similar
ly marked.
N~siohbors Can't Aid.
Most remark&ble is the fact that

Butler, the recluse farmer Of Mia

ago effectively draws a curtain be
fore one of the most mysterious cases

murders were committed at one time,
when q man, a woman and three
children were slain. lat some later
date One man was killed.
Bodies Of the five members Of the
family were buried in a single hole,
while that of the other victim was
buried about ten feet from them.
The horrible record of crime was
unearthed by a workman engaged in
excavating for a basement under the
former Butler home. He first unearth,

had been concealed under about three
feet Of dirt, under the middle Of the

Removes One Theory.
The theory has been ventured that
the bodies of the members Of the fam
lily might be those Of some relatives
Of Buffers who had come to visit
him. II such is the case, they met
death almost instantly upon their ar
rival, for neighbors have no recollec-

Family Murder Most Mysterious.
The fact that the bodies Of the five
victims make up a family clouds the
case in greater mystery. 1t was at
first supposed that the victims were

nobody in the Butler neighborhood
has any recollection Of a family dis
appearing. Butler, during his lifetime.
and during the years that he resided
on his farm, lived by himself. He
was reticent about his own family
history, aud had no intimate friends
in the neighborhood. During the
more recent years of his residence on
his farm, he grew more misery, and
lived a hore hermit life.
Skeletons Held at Farm.
The six skeletons are being held at
the Butler farm, having been deposit
ed in a box there. Their conditions
show quite clearly the lapse OF sev.
eral years between the murder Of the
family of five, and the murder of the
single victim.
The entire ground under the house
has now been excayated, and no more
discoveries have been made.

Buried From Outside

T. Ave bodies were buried in q
home that was dug from the outside
of the house, under the foundation,
Ike hole into which these bodies
were dumped, was sloping in nature,
and while time may have .rottsd the
bones there are indications that in
order to hide his crime, Butler was
compelled to break the legs Of at
least two OF his victims. at
The foundation wall where the bod
les ha dbeen buried, was disturbed
after its construction, which was
about 20 years ago. That fact limits
the period within which the murders
occurred. In order to bury the vic
Tins, the three bottom stones Of the
foundation wall were loosened. In
re-flling the hole, black dirt was
thrown in, and the manner in which
the burial place vas dug, indicated
by the marked lines Of distinction
between the black dirt used as 4
covering and the red clay subsoil.

As she looked it began to strike, dismal, lonesome note, as if the cuckoo had lost it's mate and was calling in hopeless way from it's little prison.

 She stood looking at him beseech- ingly, stifiing back the tears that clamored for release. But he made nc answer and she swept them back.
 Pride; foolish pride and will against will
 There was another witness to this tragedy, but it was not Dick. He had slipped away. There was present that silent, cynical figure who laughs un- heard and scoffs unseen when man and woman stand stubbornly at the parting of the ways.
 Jane" said her husband sadly, eff you feel you have to go, good-by; but you are casting love and happiness out of your life, and tempting fate. Please don't"
 That was not what she wanted. She wanted the pressure of a strong mans arm and lips; the compelling force and mastery, not of reason, but of love. A step or two, the right word, and the flood of tears would have swept Brand and his satanic shadow from the Reynolds hearthstone for ever. But this step was left untaken i; the word unspoken.

REPORTED AUSTRIA
 EAGER FOR PEACE
KAISER URGED TO SEEK TOLER. ABLE TERMS COFFIN
 HAGEN SAYS.

London.-The Copenhagen core spondent ot the Daily Mail asserts that Baron Burian, the Austro-Hun- garian foreign minister, at his recent meeting with the German emperor drew doleful picture of the plight of the dual monarchy and said the time had arrived for the Germanic powers to consider most seriously the possi- bilities for tolerable peace.
 The Daily Mail attaches great i'm portance to the dispatch.
 The dispatch says:
 From most trustworthy and we'll informed source in Berlin I received the following statement regarding the negotitions between the German statesmen and Baron Burian, who re- gently visited the German chancellor in Berlin, and Emperor William at the army headquarters in France
 Baron Burian, whose sole object it is to save what can be saved of the dual monarchy, represented to the Germans that the situation in Austria is most precarious and that if the Russian advance on Budapest is not stopped the effect may very probably be the downfall of Austria and the complete collapse of Hungary, which must later entail as logical sequence also the downfall of Germany.

She receives sl00 "conspirator's s money by mail from Brand, and in the sudden change from skimping economies and unpaid bills to real ready money loses all sense of true moral values.

Ambition and Humility.

The highest ambition is the parent Of the truest humility; it makes one realize that our ultimate aim is so high that we need a power far beyond our own for the accomplishments of so transcendent work; that if we are truly to be co-workers with AL mighty God himself in the working out of the great scheme that rules the universe, the task is far too great for our unaided efforts, and we may con- fidently rely upon a power divine to help us in all our needs.

 Nonsense" fe answered. Any man who sits through an opera Is entitled to stimulant. both afterwards and before"
 You don't mean that, Bob. You like opera as much as I. but you won't admit it"
 Do I?" he said Well, maybe, l do. Sometimes have hard time tell ing just what I do like these days"
 He poured out his liquor and stood up. holding the glass aloft.
 "Jane," he said impulsively, I'll give you a toast Here's to Dick!"
 She started at the name and her look conveyed all the surprise she did not express.
 Yes, Dick" he repeated. Don't you ever think of him?"
 ''Why, yes-I don't know, Bob. What made you think of him? We haven't seen him for a year."
 .I know it, Jane. Not since that night on the island. That'e one of the things we didn't keep-Dick's friend ship. I haven't seen him in person but I've seen him in my dreams; day dreams and night" Well, I'm sure he could find us il he wanted to. He can't blame us i he's broken off the friendship"

 Hello" he said cordially, as he fol. lowed his wife into the big reception hall, where's Bob?"
 He's here," Jane answered. "I couldn't get him started dressing, but he'll be right down"
 Brand looked toward the table and the bottle in its silver casing.
 "Oh, see," he said "A little bracer before the show, eh? Bob's going too strong to that stuff, Jane. You'd bet ter check him a bit"
 q think so, too," she agreed, "but nervous of late and sometimes almost queer"
 T know, but that isn't any good for the nerves, or the nerve, either. Check him up a bit l tell you he's hurting himself and injuring his chances. hear he lost quite lot in the street today. Oh, nothing serious" he added quickly, as Jane looked up in alarm. But I don't like to see a man carry ing a handicap. The race Is hard enough as 1t is I like a drop of wine with my dinner or after the show, but I let it go at that. Bob's hard work. CT and a hard player and if he's going to drink he'll be a hard drinker He can't do anything by halves"
 Why don't you speak to him about 1t 2" Jane asked.
 T did, but he cut me of as I knew he would Bob wants my tips on the market, but that's about all the advice he requires from me nowadays"
 Mrs. Brand stood patiently by won- dering if anyone was going to take any notice of her She wished Bob would hurry for she had never found that his propensity for brandy affected his gal lantry. To her way of thinking young Reynolds was an ideal husband Not quite so imposing or important as her own, perhaps, but so attentive and thoughtful Bob usually made himself very agreeable to Mrs. Brand. Some times he seemed extremely so. But, of course, that was only as 1t should be. It was his way with women and If he seemed especially gracious to the wife of the man who had done so much for him. 1t was only natural.
