Leroy Grove, the 16-year-old son Of a prosperous farmer living near Napoleon, 0., stabbed his sister, aged 24, to the heart, killing her instantly. He then strangled his 13-year-old brother to death, and, firing the barn, ran in and shot himself through the temple. His charred body was recovered. It is supposed he was insane, made so by reading novels of the Jesse James stripe.
