|What caused the trouble or the fury of Carlton is |

| |
|Who first fell is not known. |
| |
|What is known of the tragedy is this: |
| |
|Shortly after noon to-day villagers in the little |
|village of Spring Valley, where the Lewis bungalow |
|is and always has been something of a mystery as |
|well as a wonder to the residents, saw smoke coming |
|from the "love bungalow" on the hills. Villagers ran|
|to the place. The fire department responded to the |
|alarm. |
| |
|The bungalow was rapidly being consumed. Some one |
|entered the house. It was a shambles. Mrs. Benton |
|was found dead. Wallace was dead. Both had been |
|literally chopped to pieces by the infuriated negro.|
| |
|The bungalow was barricaded before entrance was |
|forced. After the dead had been discovered the |
|wounded were found. They were dragged out. The |
|conscious told disjointed stories of the tragedy and|
|of the awful fury that seemed to possess Carlton, |
|the cook. |
| |
|The latter was not to be found. He was at first |
|thought to have taken to the hills. Later it was |
|thought he might be hiding in the underground root |
|cellar but no search lights were available. |
| |
|Men with guns surrounded the house. |
| |
|The negro will be lynched if he is found, it was |
|thought this afternoon.[17] |
