HUSBAND AND WIFE. to At*d Coopt* Cruelly Murdered la Their Home—The Awful UUeovery Mad# by a Sou—The Bloody De*d Not Done for Gain—A Clow that It Is Hoped Will Load to the Capture of the Murderer. Indiana, Pa, Dec. 37.—Milton Neal and his aped wife were shot to death by an uuknowu assassin at their homa near Jacksonville, nine miles southwest of here some time during Christmas. Their bodies were found at ten o’clock that night by their son. who was passing the house and stopped to pay a Christmas call on his parents. Neal was one of the most prominent and prosperous farmers of the vicinity in which he lived. Officers are scouring the country for the murderer, but as yet he has not been apprehended. When young Neal tried to enter his parents* home he found the doors locked. He forced his way in through the cellar, and on euteriug the sitting room a horrible sight met him. On a chair near the window lay the form of his mother. 1 her face entirely blown away. At her feet was all that remained of her husband and a ghastly hole in the side of his head told the tale of his murder. At his side lay a double-barreled shot gun, the implement of death. All of the walls. ceilings?aud articles of furniture iu the room were spatteied with blood and on the ceiling was a good-sized dent, in which was imbedded a piece of the woman's skull. For a time there was a suspicion of suicide, but as the facts in the case de- | veloped the murder theory gained streugth. The woman was killed with birdshot, the husbaud with bucUshot. There was no marks of powder on his face, something which, it is said, it would have been impossible to avoid had suicide been committed with a shotgun. There is nothing to indicate that the crime was committed for plunder, as | in Mr. Neal's pocket was a $10 bill and a $50 bill lay ou the top of a dresser. ! The friends say they have a clew upon which they will at once begin work to Yraoe down the murderer. THE FARMERS* FrtlEND. The Killer Loiter Shows How 111* Sou Hus Korceit Up the Prk« of Wheat lu the Farmers' Mauds. Chicago. Dec. 37.—Friday, which will witness the close of the Leiter deal iu wheat ou the board of trade, bids fair to prove a memorable day in the trade. No great excitement is expected in the wheat pit. but iu oats a squeeze of shorts may occur.

lhe wheat deal of my son lias brought to the farmers of the-United \ States 10 or 15 eents more for their wheat than if he had not goue into it,” L. Z. Leiter said yesterday in talking of the great battle between Joseph Leiter on the one side and the elevator companies oa the other. *'My son has beeu the benefactor of the agricultural industries of the country to that extent. The seller is now dictating the price of his product, not the purchaser. Chicago makes the market price of wheat, not Liverpool. And the local influences, which have beeu so long for cuustautly lower prices, have ceased to control Chicago 1 markets.’* The first purchases of wheat by Joseph Leiter were made in July last at 6-1 cents. The price for real wheat, such ns the farmer sells, has been between 99 cents aud $1 for several days. This makes a total advance since July of about 55 cents. Leiter, Sr., gives to the ordinary source of the markets credit for between 20 aud 25 cents of the rise. The remainder he attributes to the substantial support giveu to prices by Leiter, Jr., during the last six months.

It is believed that Mr. Letter has beeu turning a trick op the trade in oats, while everybody was watching wheat. For weeks the oats pit haa beeu practically deserted. Last week there was a disagreeable surprise to the rneu who haa sold 6.* Wki.000 bushels of oats for December delivery when they learned that uo oats were being delivered. Then they awoke to the fact that iu all the Chi- ! cago elevators oats measured but 9iU,IHKi bushels of the contract grades. It was Wednesday when the discovery was made. The price of December twits was then cents. Ou Friday the market closed at 2:1% cents. A cent advance iu oats is as good as four or live crisis in wheat. It is too late to rush in a supply to meet the calls which will Ik* made for the grain j at the close of business on Friday. | Those who have not delivered the grain J according to contract will be called upou to settle at the closing prices. The situation has all the elements of a squeeze. MOl HER AND NINE CHILDREN UaracHl to Death la Their Home, and Father Dim la a Hospital.
