Killed Her Own Husband.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 9.-While in jail
in the suburban town Of Austin this
evening, Alfred Tousley, a gambler, was
shot and killed by his wife, who has
of late been separated from him, resid-
ing in Lafayette, Ind. The charge
against Tousley was that Of repeated
criminal assaults upon his 18-year-old
stepdaughter, whose father was Tous-
ley's brother. Mrs. Tousley was ar
rested. There was no witness to the
tragedy.
Tousley lived here about twenty
years ago, being employed in the Chas.
Wood chair factory, and boarded at j.
F. Fuller's, Third ward. He was en-
gagged to be married to a Third ward
girl and the arrangements were made
for the wedding, but the marriage did
not materialiZe, as the groom came
up missing at the time appointed
for the ceremony to be performed, not
withstanding the bride and guests were
all ready. The next heard of.Tousley
was in Chicago, where he figured as a
notorious gambler, pickpocket and
thief, with the chances that he was
guilty of some of the worst crimes in
the calendar. His manner of death
therefore, is no great surprise.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1891-10-29

Shooting kangaroo with a rifle re-
quires large degree of skill. On the
fiat plains the animals loom" in an ex.
traordinary manner, and it is only after
much practice that one unaccustomed
to measuring distances over these un-
relieved areas can get their range.
Sighting, for instance, at 500 yards, the
tyro will be likely to see his bullet kick
the dust 200 yards short of the mark,
and the kangaroo, alarmed at the
whistle of the missile on the ricochet,
making off at express train rate in the
distance. The surest way to bag kan
CARGO at long range is to put your sights
up for the greatest distance at which
the rife is gagged, and gradually lower
it until the bullets take effect.
A Kangaroo viii stand a lot of firing
at in this way, and although he will
look up as each shot sings above him,
seems to consider it some strange insect
or other, and directly resumes feeding.
The ping" of a rife bullet that comes
over him without interruption is quite
different to the noise made by ball on
the rebound, and while he will take
alarm from the latter the former has
little disquieting effect upon him.

"Once upon a time" said a micro
scropist, "a bold robber from Denmark
made sacrilegious entrance into a
church in Yorkshire, England, and got
away with some of the holy vessels
He was caught and was condemned to
be flayed alive, his skin being subse-
quently nailed to the church door for
the purpose of affording an example to
evil doors and to give an agreeable OBJ
iect of contemplation to the good peo-
Pile who focked to the sacred edifice
for worship on Sundays. That was
about thousand years ago, and after
awhile the human hide was torn off by
bits, all traces of it being removed,
save for small fragments which still
peep out from under the edges of the
broad headed nails by which it was
stretched
Such, at all events, has been the
tradition in Yorkshire, and it happened
a few years ago that an inquisitive per-
son sent a scrap of leather to an emf
nent expert in microscopy, giving no
account Of it, but merely requesting to
know what kind of skin it was The
professor brought his microscope to
bear upon it, and presently found some
hairs scattered over the surface, which,
after carefully examining, he declared
to be human hairs, such as grow on
the naked parts of the body. Further
more, he stated that the person who
had owned them was of fair com
plexion This was very interesting, in
asmuch as after the lapse of ten cen
turtles it was proved possible, not only
to distinguish human hair from that Of
any other animal, but actually to de
termine the race Of the man to which
it belonged, the Danes being light
haired. Washington Star
