HIINORITY KEPOkT.

Believing it to be my duty, submit the fol-
lowing minority report nm the following items:
First-The item Of 81 $50 rs. to s. Case, for
work done under Improved Road and Ditch
laws, should be computed at six and eight cents
per hundred words, instead Of ten cents, as now
computed. See Section ,4o6 for ditch law and
Section ,075 for road law.
And further, that one item of $3.50, which
goes to make up the above amount, should be
computed by the hundred words, and not in
bulk, as presented to our Board.
Second-The item Of 1884 90 for work under
School laws, should be only Sl65 90 for the
thirty-three districts See Section 1854.
The same is not paid for this year (to my
knnwledge), and would kindly ask an opinion
of the Court before settlement of the same.
Third-The item Of 500 90, as member Of the
Board of Equalization, is too much, the Board
only being in session seven days, and claim
that the other fifteen days is covered by his
twenty. FIVE per cent, which hc received. See
Section l.076.
Fourth-The item of S25 90 for making Com
missioners' Report claim to be part of his
duty as Clerk Of our Board, and comes under
his regular salary.
There is also question as to the rates OF fees
on money paid to the Clerk for part of the yea r
and to tlc Probate Judge Tor the full year, ON
which the opinion of the Court Is solicited.
Respectfully submitted, N. W. STAFFORD,

We have examined SAID report and the mi-

the year as set forth in said majority report to
be In conformity to law, and In all respects cor
rect aud just, except AS hereinafter stated.
We seriously doubt the legality Of the EN-
ployment by the Commissioners OF attorne VI lat
the expense Of the county at large, to defend 10
actions brought IN enjoin the construction Of

aggregate amount allowed by the Commis-
vices in such cases, Is excessive for the labor
performed.
In relation to the items set forth in said mi

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Another Shocking Tragedy to Blot
the Records of Wood County.
Louis Raab shoots His Wife and
then Blows His own brains Out.

About 6 p. NJ. last evening our citizens
were shocked by the report coming in that
Louis Raab, who resides on farm about
2l miles south OF town, ON the McCntchen-
vile road, had shot and killed his wife, and
10 complete the tragedy had blown his own
brains out.
Esquire Curtis, Marshal Hayes, and others
went out to investigate, and found these
reports only too true. The facts, in brief,
are ne follows:
1t is the old, old story OF family infelici.
ty, caused by jealousy, and brooded over
until il results in horrible crime. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Raab and his wife have
hac violent quarrels during the past two
or three years and that lie had beaten
her on two or three occasions. Last Sum
mer her father, who IL said to be wealthy
farmer residing near Pemberville, gave her
81 500 with which to purchase the farm of
her husband, which ale did, and they sep
Grated. After he had been absent some
time and had spent about 5000 of this sum,
he returned, and for the sake of the chill.
dren compromise was effected by which
they agreed to live together again. This,
as the sequel shows, was fatal comprom-
ise, as il did not result in the happiness OF
either.
The fatal quarrel seems TO have arisen
between 2 and 8 p. NJ. yesterday. over the
sale Of some property, 10 which she would
not give her consent. Passers by on the
yoad heard loud words and wrangling. but
as this was 80 common but little attention
was paid TO it. 1t is reported that he uttered
an oath and said " I'll fix yon /" and rush
cd into an adjoining room, seized revol-
yer and returned and fred, the ball taking
effect in the top of the head as the mother
was stopping over TO arrange the clothing
oil her child which was on her lap. She

snd fired the second shot which took effect
IN the right temple and bespattered The
brains over the carpet and the unconscious
infant lying by her side. Either shot was
