1 wife Kills Her Husband.

tFrom the sidney tOhio) Journal, March 1ol
The people OF this county were greatly startled,
last week, by learning that Montr3, In the north
cru part OF the county, had been the scene OF a
most horrible tragedy. George Fowler residing o
short distance from Montra, was on Friday morn
Ing terribly manglcd and killed by his wife. We
are informed that Fowler had grossly mistreated
ms vile, and about year since, while she was In
an advanced state Of pregnancy, had kicked her In
the stomach, from the effects OF which she has
never recovered and for nine months past has been
confined nearly all the time 10 her bed. During this
t.ine Fowler has persiscd In HIS unkind treatment
starving and abusing her In every conceivable man
ner. ON the Wednesday preceding the day he was
Killed they had bitter quarrel, and he, after that,
refused 10 occupy the same bed with her. On Friday
morning Mrs. Fowler got up about four O'Clock,
while her husband was sti sleeping before the fre-
place with little son about eight years OF age.
After getting up she noticed the axe Under the bed
aud says something told her she must Kill George
Taking the axe she struck the sleeping man some
eighteen or twenty blows on the neck and face xiii.
Ing him instantly ana mutating him In n shocking
manner After the second blow the boy rushed from
the house and gave the alarm. The miserable woman
Is now IN Jail awaiting the trial Her appearance
