Kills Three and Himself
Man Is Slain at Churn In Barn and
Women While at Work Sewing In
the House.
John Caskey, sixty years old, who
has been living as a recluse for some
years near New Market, York county,
Pa., killed Frank Hendrix, forty-five
years old; his two sisters, Emma and
Hester Hendrix, each more than fifty
years old, and then turned the re-
volver upon himself, sending a bullet
through his head, which caused his
death shortly afterward.
Caskey had been living on the Hen-
drix property, and it is believed that
he murdered the Hendrix family to
pay off an old score. A note found
pear the murderer's body said that
| he had ended his life because of ill
health.
Caskey’s body was found on the
rear porch of a brother's house at
New Market. A jury of inquest was
summoned, and while it was investi-
gating the death word came that the
| bodies of the Hendrix family were dis-
covered.
Frank Hendrix was shot while he
was at work at a churn in the barn,
and his sisters were killed while they
gat quietly sewing at home. When
found each woman had a thimble on
her finger. Death in each instance had
| been caused by a bullet that penetrat-
ed the forehead. The shot that killed
| Caskey had entered at a similar point.
The jury decided that the Hendrix
trio had been murdered and that the
evidence indicated that Caskey was
the murderer. In one of Caskey's
pockets three cartridges of 38-caliber,
the same size found in the bodies ol
the Hendrix family, were discovered.
The inquist was conducted by Justice
of the Peace Grant McCullough, of
Baltimore county, Md.
Two Army Airmen Killed.
Lieutenant Lewis C. Rockwell, of
the Tenth Infantry, and Corporal
Frank S. Scott, of the army aviation
school at College Park, near Balti
more, Md., are dead as the result of
am aeroplane accident.
Corporal Scott was instantly killed,
but Lieutenant Rockwell died on the
operating table at the Walter Reed
General hospital in Baltimore, where
he was taken after the acicdent in
the automobile of Captain Charles De
Forest Chandler, commanding officer
of the school.
The accident was due to the failure
of the motor to stop running when
Aviator Rockwell reached up to eut
it off. The machine, which was bul
thirty feet from the ground and about
to make a landing, plunged nose-down
ward, into the earth.
Scott was hurled several feet from
the machine, while Rockwell lay a few
feet away from him. Brother officers,
who were acting as officials of the
test flight, carefully picked up the two
men. Scott was found to be lifeless,
his skull being crushed, his clothing
torn from him and his bones broken.
Rockwell, with his head buried partly
in the earth, still showed signs o!
life, but was unconscious. The army
surgeon stationed at the fleld, after a
hasty examination, ordered him rush-
ed to the hospital in a final'attempt to
save his life. He never regained con-
sciousness.
Newark Bank Robbed of $11,500.
It leaked out that $11,500 in gold
was stolen about noon on Sept. 18
from the National Newark Banking
company, in the heart of the financial
district of Newark, Del.
The gold was in three small bags,
which were on a ledge behind the
grating that separates the tellers from
the corridor. Most of the tellers were
out to luncheon at the time. Those
who were working were at the fron!
of the bank, when some one passed
toward the rear of the corridor, where
there is a big pillar that supports a
part of the building and divides the
tellers’ screen.
An iron bar was used to pry the
screen open about four inches, and
then, it is believed, a hook at least
four feet long was used to reach the
bags containing the gold.
When the clerks returned from their
luncheon the break in the screen was
discovered and the Burns detective
agency was at once notified. The local
police say they have not been inform.
ed about the robbery.
The iron bar employed to pry open
the screen was found in the corridor.

Its about time to take a look at the wood pile
and coal bin; not only to look, but to take in a
good supply, as cold weather isn't very far off.
Having been choked into submission by his
father, a young man in his drunken fury dashed
his fist through a window light, cutting himself
in a fearful manner. Had not a physician been
summoned at once he would have bled to death
in a short time. |
Politics are very quiet here just now, simply be- {
cause about everybody is in favor of Wilson for |
President. Taft appears to be unknown and the |
Bull Moose is referred to only in derision. That |
monumental fraudlhas few, if any, followers in |
this valley. No doubt as election day aproaches |
politics will loom up, and become active, just to |
prevent a dry rot. !
Last week a dozen or more reckless Algerians |
from what is called the Spruce, a short distance |
below town, reached here and were bent on mis |
chief. They stopped a buggy between the post |
office and mill, and one of them jumped in and |
made a savage attack upon the driver. The |
racket caused quite a commotion. Two young |
men hastened to assist the driver and were |
severely hurt in the melee, although the two |
young men could have handled any four of them, |
but the whole craven gang engaged in the fight, |
and of course the two young men were overpow- |
ered. Warrants are out for the miscreants.
