The facts are about as follows: Mrs. Anna Extine, 91 years of age, and Cyril Hladky, her grandson, aged 9, were living alone in a little stone house in West Linwood. As near as could be ascertained, they had not been seen since Thursday of last week. On Monday a daughter, living at Morse Bluffs came up and was seen trying to get into the house, but failing, went away. The neighbors investigated, and found the dead bodies, the old lady on the floor and the boy in bed, but fully dressed. There was nothing to eat in the house, but plenty of fuel. A little sauer kraut and some old, stale cheap candy was found. The coroner and doctor found that the cause of death was poisoning probably from eating the candy, which had all appearances of having been dumped out from some store and picked up by the boy. A further search brought to light $702.00 in currency, most of which was found in a purse hidden in the stove. $37.00 however, was found in a trunk, in an envelop. The lady was known to be very close, no one, not even her children, knew that she had a cent of money. She was the mother-in-law of Mrs. George Buchta, who formerly lived in David City. County Attorney says it was a very gruesome sight and one he does not care to see again.
