WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Bar-keeper's Unacoountable Deed OF
BLOOD

A Bar-keeper's Unaccountable Deed OF
Blood.
CLEVELAND, o., ga horrible tragedy
occurred at 2i2 Lake street, about eleven
O'Clock yesterday. Dan Gardner, q
former resident of Pittsburgh, but re-
Gently q resident of this city, shot his
wife and then committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head. The
family consisted of himself and wife,
whom he married five years ago, little
son, four years old, and two girls named
Lizzie Collins and frankie Reynolds.
The news of the murder and suicide
rapidly spread throughout the city and
created profound sensation. Upon an
examination 1t was found that the ball
had entered Gardner's brain, and little
could be done to stop the flow OF blood
with which his life was slowly ebbing
away. The wife may recover, but it is
doubtful.
The girls say they know of no cause
for the deed, as Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner
have always lived peacefully together,
and they have never noticed any trouble
between them.
Anime O'Clock last night Mr.. Gardner
was still alive, but in very critical con-
dition, with no hope for his recovery.
Mrs. Gardner, though in a precarious
condition, was also alive, but too weak
to make any statement OF the affair.
Gardner for several years was Clerk OF
the Police Court In this city, but has
been bartender lately. He was well
known In sporting circles, and formerly
resided In Pittsburgh.
