with death and lost.
She fell a victim to an assassin's

found lying in the doorway OF her
room in the Engler home near Moore's
Crossing in the southern end Of Travis

blood leading from the house to the
barn and back, dust on her ankles AMI
a wisp of hay tightly clutched in her

7 LLOYD GEORGE says Europe
Il cannot stand another war"
That's true. Then the thing for
Europe to do is, NOT TO HAVE
ANOTHER WAR. As for the brand
Of Cain, it must be remembered that
Cain killed his brother. We have no
intention Of killing our brother,
Europe.
IL the brethren over there cannot
resist the temptation to kill each
other, that isn't our fault, and We
refuse to accept the brand Of Cain
because Europeans kill Europeans.

SUSPECT ROBBERY.

Travis county officers Monday soon
we're unable to assign motive for the
crime although they believe that tbs
assassin lay in wait and murdered the
family for the purpose of robbery. As
none survived they can only speculate
as to whether Englcr had any amount
Of money in his possession.
The young girls body was badlg
bruised and laceratcd giving evidence
that she put up a desperate struggle
before bullet finally snuffed out her
life. Il is believed she was awakened
by the shots which struck down her
foster parents and sogght TO escape 10

PARENTS SLAIN.

In another room lay her foster par
ents, S. f. Engler and his wife, bull
let wounds in their heads telling o.
swift death. The assassin had fired
through an open window, without
warning. Death was instantaneous.
Discovery of the triple murder was
made Sunday afternoon by John
Sternnadl and his son. Visiting the
EnGler home they found the three
bodies lying as they had fallen. No
one apparently had visited the scene
since the crime was committed. The
condition of the bodies indicated that
death had occurred about midnight the
night before. Travis county officers
were notified and posses were rushed
to the scene. Fingerprint experts also
went in the hope that the assassin had
left clue.
ARREST FIVE SUSPECTS.
Monday morning Sheriff ". u.
Miller placed five suspects under ar
rest. One whose clothing, Sheriff
Miller said, bore what appeared to be
blood stains was held. Posses still are
seeking other suspects and other clues.
Every available officer has been
pressed into service in an effort to
bring the murderers to quick justice.
Engler was a well-to-do farmer liv-
ing near Del Vale, about fourteen
miles from Austin. His home sat on

 MT, Brockman is a native of Vir- glnla. He was graduated from Van- derpIit university, class of 'gl.

That and q keen sense of humor, a life pack ed full of interesting experiences. and appreciation of everything hu- man, his effective, final punch" make him a man worth hearing.

 cs to Harbin near the borders of Si- beria. Overflow meetings, open for ums, and personal interviews carried him far into the night.

 He look leading part In the worlds student Christian federation conference which met in Pellin in April. Nine hundred delegates from a5 countries gave him an opportun- fly to stress the importance Of inter national fellowship and good will. This was the first meeting of the federation ever held in China.
