THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
AFTER A HUMAN BUTCHER.
A Woman Believed to Have Hacked Visor
Rlttor to Death.
I f
Detective Dougherty and a posse of .
jo men scoureo me country rounu
about the home of Amos Ritter, near
Watsontown, in an effort to find the
hatchet with which the old man Ritter
1 .t- - . t
was murdered a little over a ween ago,
Snecu ation is rife as to the identity
I for
is a well authenticated report out that
the authorities suspect a woman of
the crime ; but the deed was so brutal
that if a woman was guilty of it she
must have been actuated by a cruel
mania. A shrewd trick of the assassin
was the covering of his or her tracks
that led from the spot where the old
man's body lay.
The corpse was found with two
handkerchiefs over Us face, in a held
from which potatoes had been dug a
few days before, hence the soil there-
abouts was moist and loamy. Hut
there was not a foot print Visible.
The murderer, after rifling the victim's
clothes, had carefully scratched the
soft soil over his shoe marks. He evi
dently left the potato patch backward,
covering each successive footprint as
he went.
The old man's shoes were standing
between his feet. They had been re
moved in the search for the gold that
Ritter was believed to have about
him. Besides a bullet wound in his
heart, there were seven ax or hatchet
wounds on top and side of the head,
These ran from right to left, and had
evidently been administered by the
murderer as he stood over his pros
trate victim. One of the gashes cut
the rmht ear in two, and another laid
the cheek open. When he was shot
the pistol was held so close that both
clothing and skin were burned
Ritter, who was 72 yeais old, lived
alone in a ramshackle house, and it
was cenerally believed that he had
money hidden in the house
Detective Dougherty, who has been
direc.ed by the district attorney to
ferret out the murderer, says he has
several important clues, and an arrest
may follow in a few days.
The spot where Ritter was murder
ed is within sight of the grave of Nel
son E. Wade, who 25 years ago mur
tiered Mr. and Mrs. John McBride,
near Wilhamsnort. and then carried
off the gold and greenbacks that the
aged couple had saved. He was hang
ed in Williamsport and his body was
buried in the corner of a field near
the Amos Ritter home, in Delaware
township.
Eternal Vigilance
Is the price of perfect health. Watch
carefully the first symptoms of impure
blood. Cure boils, pimples, humors
and scrofula bv taking Hood's Sarsa-
panlla. Drive away the pains and
aches of rheumatism, malaria and
'stomach troubles, steady your nerves
and overcome that tired feeling by
taking the same great medicine.

As To Accidents-
An analysis of 2,000 accident
policies on which benefits were paid
shows
531 persons injured by falls on
ents, J43 by carriage or wagon,
pavements,
75 ty horses' kicks or Dues, 47 uy
kicks or bites, 47 uy
riding. 117 were cut with edged tools
or glasses, 96 were hurt by having
weighs fall upon them, '76 were hurt
in bicycle accidents and 7 a were hurt
from falling down stairs, from which
we might infer that there is not much
difference as to danger between riding
a bicvele or coiner down stairs, and
walking is about seven t mes as dan
gerous as cycling.
Natural Lightning Rods.
The tall Lombardy popular has a
reputation in some parts of Europe
as a kind of natural lightning rod.
Investigations recently made by Dr.
Hess, in "Switzerland, appear to con
firm this reputation of the tree. Its
wood is an unusually good conductor
of electricity as compared with others,
whi b it nrcat hpurht and U1CK 01
spreading branches enable it to con
duct a lightning stroke straigiu down
ward. In order, however, that a pop
lar tree inav serve to protect a build
ing, according to Dr. Hess, its foilage
should be allowed to grow as near the
ground as possible : it should be re-
moved not less than six or seven feet
from the nearest wall. No metallic
objects on the buildinz should be
near the tree, and its roots should
penetrate a moist soil.
A Great Surprise is in Store
