From the Milwaukee News. A shocking tragedy occurred in the town of Caledonia, Racine County, on Wednesday night. A boy named JOHN STITESHY, the only son of a respectable Bohemian, residing near the Chicago and Milwankee Railroad track, in the northern part of Caledonia, Racine County, committed one of the most atrocious and cold-blooded acts of combined parricide and hoinicide that has ever been recorded in the anuals of crime. The circumstances are as follows: The father, who was a farmer in excellent circumstances, had been laboring in the woods during the day, and had come in at nightfall for his supper. The meal was prepared and the mother called JOHN, who is an only son, about 19 years old, to come in to tea. The aged couple sat down to their meal, thinking the boy would presently join them, when suddenly a shot was fired through the window pane of the room, and the father was struck by a ball in the left arm, completely shattering it at the elbow. The mother started up, and at the same instant another report resounded, and she was struck in the abdomen by a bullet, which passed completely through her body! In another moment another discharge was heard in the yard, and the father, who, with paternal instincts divined the nature and effect of this third shot, summoned strength enough to get out of doors, where he found his son weltering in his blood, and already gasping his last. He had murdered both his aged parents with the two barrels of one gun and had shot himself through the body with another weapon, ending his life almost instantly.
