DISCOVERED IN BEAR CREEK. Sheriff at Kirksville Called the Roll of Fami- lies for two Miles About. Kirksville, Mo, May 4 —Evidence of a triple murder and Sheriff Black- ledges’s house to house canvass to poll every household for vacant ebairs have caused great concern ameng suburban residents and farm- ers for three miles southeast of Kirksville. Today movers who stopped to water their team at Bear Creek bridge, two miles from town on the La Plata road, fished a stuffed gunny sack out of the water. They took it for a cyclone souvenir. It contained part of a woman's scalp, half of her nght ear, and long black tresses still done up with hair pins. This was all packed in a pound paper coffee bag An extensive wardrobe, yery much torn and bloody, with a blanket, quilt aad laprobe, all blood stained came out of the bundle : On bringing the grim find to town Sheriff Blackledge sorted out a wo man’s complete dress and two sets of small children’s clothing, evident- ly for little one of three and one year ofage. Each garment of these three was ripped down the back from col- lar to hem, and all were smeared with blood. The outer dress large blue polka dots. Dr. William Smith of the American School of Osteopathy, who examined the scalp, says it was removed with a blunt instrument like a hatchet, and bear evidence of having been done two weeks ago. The ear was amputated by the sama instrument and attached by a thread to the ecalp. The bair is raven black and seems to have been abundant. Micrescopic examinations of the blood on the clothing shows it to be human blocd There is a line of blood down the back on all three sets of clothing along both borders of the torn edge, as if the clothing had been cut off with a knife, which drew blood from the victim’s back in the opera tion. At first it was supposed tbat the triple murder would be located at a door in the locality. Sheriff Blackledge and deputies went from house to house all over the district within a radius of two miles without discovering any miss ing persons or hearing of disrupted households. The farmers turned out to buat with the sheriff's party. Roll call showed every family accounted for with the man servants and maid ser vants within their gates. Search up and down Bear creek failed to get any further evidences of the horrible crime. Parties up until dark were search. ing the border of the creek, the fields and woods adjacent for newly made graves. It is believed that the psrpetrator buried his dead eomewhere along the La Plata road, perbaps miles from the spot where the hair and bloody clothing was deposited. Sheriff Blackledge has concluded that a triple murder was cemmitted and that the crime happened in the camp of spring movers who at this season line the roads of this locality. is white w:th Old Man’s Matrimonial | then reveals come sad chapters. |C.
