The Ofd People Hacked to Death an Ax, With Jfoltovring are details of a terrible tragedy enacted afew days since in an Illinois farm house: At about 10 o'clock on Wednesday night a double murder was committed near the village of Banding sto miles northeast of Charleston, HI, The victims were Ne- hemiah Fleetwood and wife, aged sixty-eight and seventy years. The Fleetwoods lived in a two-story house. They sJcpt?dpwnstairs,arid the hired man, James WirJ&Wack, occupied tkerbom directly above themi while across the hali, upstairs, slept the grown daughter, Emma, The fainily i-etired early o n Wednes- day night. A t about 10 o'clock Enfara was partly- aroused, and heard Winkleback, she thought, talking with tho old folks below. She dropped off to sleep again, and some time afterward she heard another noise below, at was not wide awake enough to know •hethor it was tho sound of a revolver or ilows with a hammer. Again she went to sleep, but was soon awakened by the smell of smoke. She saw that the house was on fire, and called across the hall to wake Winkle- back. He pretended to .lust wake lip, and told her that she could not cot down that way (the stairs leading from Winklebaek's room to the room helow occupied by the old folks), but she burst through the room and down the stairs to tho old folks' bedroom. With hurried efforts she put out the fire and cried out to Winkleback to run for help to the neighbors. He brought no help until he had been sent the second time. After putting out the fire the daughter found the dead bodies of her father and mother lying in the chaired remains of the bedstead. Their clothes were burned from their bodies. Stove wood had been brought in and placed o n the bod to feed the fire. Neighbors arrived and found that Fleetwood had been murdered bo- fore tho Are was kindled. The old man's head had been crushed.and was completely severed from tho body. His wife had been shot, the ball passing in at the corner of her eye. Her throat was also cut from ear to ear.
