Horace and Harvey Waters, the twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Waters of Clarinda, have been murdered in Alaska, according to advice received by the parents.
The murders occurred about two months ago, but word of the tragedy has just reached the family.
The Waters brothers had been conducting a store in British Columbia, 300 miles north of Victoria. They sold out, and taking with them a supply of provisions went up the Lyodite river prospecting. They were seen by Indians, and later the body of one of the brothers was found on Tonga island.
The other twin has not been found, but the provisions they took with them were left untouched, which is taken as evidence that he also has been murdered.
