The family relations were! ! very affectionate, and they lived happily until both sons were shot by neigl bots with whom they had behn quarreling. Five men were implicated in the murder, and all of them made haste to seek other regions as soon as the deed had been committed. Llahlgreon’s wife was so broken by the loss of her sons that she soon died. Hahlgreen then took upon himself the task o( retribution, swearing to make it the aim of his life to have vengeance uoon every one of the guilty men. He followed them from that day forth.

A fourth , had died of intlammation of the lungs, 1 and the fifth was serving a term in the ; ' penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. 1'ahl-
