MONDAY.
Chesterton Tribune, 12th: Last Tuesday morning Tom Grady came to Chesterton with the sad news of 3 corpses lying near the bridge at the old mill north of town. He discovered them as he was coming from his home to Chesterton. Altho' the morning was bitter cold a party was at once organized and sent to take care of the bodies.The particulars as near as we have been able to learn, as the mother and her 2 children, being turned out of doors in the terrible storm of Monday, wandered aimlessly about and at last coming to the bridge sought shelter under it. Soon they became stiff with cold, and the wind blew them into the creek, which was solidly frozen. The combined effects of the cold and the fall stu--?-d them and death must have soon after relieved them of their sufferings. The bodies were identified as being the ---?--- and kittens" who formerly lived with "Whiskey Mary." The coroner was sent but was unable to come on account of business in other localities.
