Miss Emma Moeckel, aged 20, was the daughter of Frederic Moeckel, who is also a farmer iu comfortable circumstances. Both families have resided about a mile apart for years and grew up togother and for the past six years had been very warm iriends which at one time is said, had ripened into au engagement. Both were steady and industrious and were held in the highest esteem. Becently, however, it seeins a oooluess had grown up between theiii, the engagement had been broken off, and Miss Moeckel was going with a young ruau named George Tisoh, for whose parents she had been working. "She was expected hoine to reniain Sunday morning aud young Heydlauff went to the reaidence of Mr. Moeckel about 9 o'clook and asked if Enrnia was at home. He was informed that she was uot but was told that she was expected home in time to go to church and asked to come in and wait for her. He ñid so and while waiting converged pleasantly with the family, talking of sheep shearing and other matters connected with farm work, exhibitiug nothing, whatever, that would indícate the turbulent condition of bis miud. About half an hour later Miss Moeckel arrived, acoompanied by George Tisch. As she entered she greeted the family and the visitor pleasantly and passed through the room into the parlor. Young Heydlaufi followed her in and closed the door and a few moments later a number of shots were heard. Mr. Moeckel ruslied into the room áud fouud Emma lying dead on the floor iu a pool of bload and Heydlanft' also lying ou the floor ou bis back with the revolver lying on nis breast. "As Mr. Moeokel entered Heydlauff said: 'Help rne up, I'mdying. ' Mr. Moeckel replied that he had better lie there and ran out of the room to notify the other members of the family. Heydlauff got up, walked out iuto the yard and was preparing to reload the revolver when Mr. Moeckel took it from him. He then said he was goiug home but was compelled to go into the house. A few minutes later he went out doors and started to run but feil. He theu picked up a stone and attempted to beat out bis brains. This was taken away frora hiru and he secured a brickaud made auother attempt bnt was again foiled. He was tbeii takeu into the house and kept uutil his father carne for hiru.
