JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Jan 29. -- A fire at Elton, a village 7 miles southeast of this city, Wednesday night burned the residence of Samuel Kring and another building. Kring and his wife were burned to death in their home. He was 79 years of age and she 83. The fire originated from an overheated stove in the bedroom. [4] [5] The horrible butchery of the old man Kring and his wife and the cremation of their bodies a few nights ago is attributed to the same mysterious murderer, who is evidently hiding in the mountains ready to pounce upon any victim who he supposes has money. [6]
