To Escape Suffering.

A Faribault, Mimi, dispatch Of the
10Th says: A shocking tragedy occurred
this morning, at the residence of James
Mcneil, Jr., near Cannon Lake. Mr..
Mcneil arose about 5 o'clock and went
into the kitchen to build fire.
Mrs. Mcneil slipped out after him
and locked the door. then went back in
to the bed room, took q revolver from
the bureau drawer and shot three of
her children. Mr.. Mcneil, hearing the
shots, tried to get into the bed room,
but falling. started around the house,
going into the front door and meeting
his wi e coming from the kitchen, where
she had chased the Oldest child
and made her drink carbolic
acid. The mother also drank of
the poison. The little girl evidently
struggled very hard, as her face and
hands were covered with the acid. One
child was instantly killed with the re-
volver, and one died about 10 o'clock
this morning. The little baby, 3 weeks
old, was shot through both lungs, but is
still alive. The mother and the little
girl to whom she gave the acid may
live. Mrs. Mcneil gives as the reason
for the terrible deed that she was sick,
had no hope of getting well, and wanted
to end her sutferings.

swim for their lives. Some, whose
cries were heard, were picked up alter

forms Of striped horses " now extant, and all
of them inhahit Africa. According 10 the
usual classification these are Equus quagga,
Equus burchellii and Equus zebra, or montanus,
the latter being the true zebra of most zoolo-
gists. Heilprin, however, records fourth ami
mai of this group, f. greyyi, found IN the land

the knee and the latter the hook. These joints
likewise possess the additional popularity that
the smaller and outer bones of the arm and leg
