one and two o'clock, two rhote were
heard by Mr. Erb, who resides neareat
the scene of the tragedy. She and ber
butbanj immediately arose, and discov
ered that the house of John Kinoler
was on fire. Persona residing in tbe
neigbborliood were anon on tbe ground,
among them Jacob Scbradei and Tjbias
Mitchell, wbo were the first to discover
tbe bodies of tbe victims. Sir. Kiua-
ler was found in a room used as kitchen
and sleeping department, bis arms,
bead and leg being burned to a crisp.
Mrs. Kinsler's body was discovered in
be entry, aluioat entirely consumed.
Blood was found scattered about, which
leads to tbe suspicion tbat one, at least,
was killed outside aud thrawn into tbe
lioue. Five pistols and a sbot-gnn

struction of tbe building. Two dog

in the flames, wbile another tbat lay
outside was bsdly singed. Blood bad
been discovered about tbe ruins, which
at once gave suspicion tbat the parties
in question were murdered before the

a verdict that tbe parties were murder
ed and robbed, and the house set on
fire. Tbe vetdict of tbe jury was an
