By A Special Correspondent

Edmonton (Alberta), December 18.

ROYAL MOUNTED POLICE have just investigated

a grim series of murders, in which six people has lost their lives, in a lonely settlement on the Northern Alberta Railway to Peace River. The tragedies are the result of the brooding jealousy of a section foreman, Carl Schwez, who was displaced from his job by one of his victims.

"Television? Ridiculous! Never heard of such ramblings.".

These are the things that, scoffers said a few years ago when radio and television were first ́spoken of.

Now it's a trip to. the moon that scoffers are holding up to ridicule..

Three people walking be- side the track at the little wayside station of Tieland, 100 miles north of this city, a desolate spot in the back- woods, heard a single shot, and when the police raced up in answer to their alarm, they found these dead:-

Carl Schwez himself, a bachelor, Bged 40; Carl Nelson, section fore- mon, aged 30; Mrs. Alma Nelson, aged 23; Edward Nelson, their three- year-old son: John Marcinuik, a see- flon hand; George Reul, aged 55, a rieighbour of the Nelsons.

Schwaz clubbed Mrs. Nelson and her child with his rifle butt in the absence of her husband, whom he had shot in a toolhouse as he cluoped over his work. Marelntuk had been shot as he ant cating in his shock, Reul's body was foul on his bed, where he
