JEALOUSY'S VICTIM.


Mrs. Wilbur p. Barker, q school Teacher
at Syracuse, n. 4. Probably Fatally Shot
by Her Husband, from Whom She was
Living Separate.
SYRACUSE. n. Y, Jan. 2O.-Mrs. Will
bur F. Barker, teacher at the Bassett-
street public school, was shot five times
yesterday morning by her husband in the
classroom. He drove to the school in
a sleigh with their sixteen-mOnths- sold
child in his arms. walked into his wife's
classroom and said:
as this the way you take care OF
your child?"
Her husband followed and fired two
shots at her She reached another
classroom and then fell on the floor.
Parker put the baby on the floor and
leaning over his wife, fired at her
several times, five shots taking effect.
Barker then drove rapidly away and
at p. m, the police were twenty min
utes behind him at GAINESVILLE.
The couple have been married about
two years and jealousy on Barker's
part is the supposed cause of the trag-
edy. They only lived together a short
time after their marriage.
Mrs. Barker was taken to the House
of the Good Shepherd. 1t could not be
told whether her injuries are fatal.
She was shot three times in the head
and face. once through the left hand
and once through the left thigh.
Barker left the baby in the school
room.
At half-past three o'clock the police
and sheriff were hunting over the coun-
try south of here for Barker. They
were hot on his trail. He is thought to
be trying to get on the Central road,
but every precaution has been taken to
guard against this. Barker is about
fifty years old, and his wife about
thirty

A BURNING TRAIN.

A Desperate Run with Burning Train
for q Water Tank-A Brave Brakemsn's
Life Sacrificed.
DENVER. Col, Jan. 20.-Two cars in a
train on the Denver & Northern road
caught fire from sparks from the locomO-
tive, and an intervening car prevented
the engineer and fireman from seeing
the flames. The passengers were driven
to the rear coach. A brakeman named
Anderson offered to warn the engineer,
and at great peril, erawled over the
cars to the front of the train. The en-
gineer decided to make a quick run to
the nearest water tank two miles dis

both cars had been burned up, while
the front of the passenger car was near
ing destruction. Brakeman Anderson,
who risked his life to save others, died
