and went out to hunt for Richards but
failed to find him. Disappointed in this, he
returned home and went up to the room in |
which his sister was dressing for the wedding. |
What passed between them is not known, but |
soon the family downstairs heard the report
of pistol, quickly followed by another shot,
and, rushing upstairs, Mr.. Robbins found his
two children lying in a pool of blood, the young
lady dead, and the son unconscious and dying.
Both were shot in the forehead. In the case
of the girl the bullet passed clear through the
head. Lee died in thirty minutes, without
speaking word, and, as no paper was left,
this is probably all thai will ever be known Of
the tragedy. fp
A brief telegram from Bodie, CAL,
makes mention of an explosion Of a powder
magazine, by which several men were killed
and great many wounded but, gives no par
ticulars of the disaster.

additional particulars of the disaster at the
mining town of Bodie, Cal The magazine

was done to any below the ground. The shock
was felt on the surface d distance of twenty
miles. Many boarding houses, restaurants
and other buildings were more or less shattered.

of fifty injured, some of them fatally.
Ex-Gov. William Allen died sudden
ly at his home, near Chillicothe, Ohio, on the
11th of July. He retired to bed in apparently
his usual, health. About o'clock he became
some what restless, and being unable to sleep
he called DR. and Mrs. Scott, his son in law
and daughter, who at once appeared at
his bedside to aid him to arise. He
signi6ed his wish to be aided to reach a chair
While being thus helped, he retained all his
faculties, but upon reaching the chair slight
but almost imperceptible change passed over
his face, and without a struggle and without a
word he easily dropped into the chair. A slight
duttering of the heart was only noticeable, his
head fell back, and his eyes closed as in peace
full sleep.
