had just received $1,000 rent money
which has disappeared. In addition, a
large sum, said to have been boarded
for years by the couple, has disap-
peared. Bloodhounds are on the trail
of the murderer of murderers.
The Beckers lost heavily some years
ago In a bank failure at Pekin and
since then it has been known to all
their friends that they have distrusted
banks and have been boarding their
money on the farm.
The murderers set fire to the farm
house for the supposed purpose OF
making the crime appear an accident.
But the trick failed, for the fire went
out and the bodies were found with
marks of violence.
Hundreds Of farmers and many
sheriffs' deputies from the country
side have formed posses and are
searching in all directions.
