things that such friends as you say of

the wisdom of again putting me in nomi-

Fatal Shooting.

CANTON, o., April s.. This afternoon
John McCurday shot and killed S. II
Waltenbaugh and seriously wounded his
wife and then put a bullet through his
own head. There was no witness to the
tragedy, but Mrs. McCurdy. after being
revived, gave meager details of the affair
1t seems McCury went home and found
Waltenbaugh. who is an aged man and
the father of a family, with his wife, and
that was the cause of the shooting.
Waltenbaugh's dead body was found in
Mrs. McCurdy's bedroom, while that of
McCurdy lay in the door yard. Mrs.
McCurdy ran to a neighbor's before she
fell from loss of blood. The woman will
probably recover. Both men were plas-
terers and had been fellow-wOrkmen.

HELENA. April S.-The first results OF
the war looking to the determination OF
horse thieves in eastern Montana came
to light yesterday when the body of a
man was found on Alkali creek about
ten miles from Billings. He had been
shot through the head and had been
dead several days. The man has not
been identified but is supposed to be a
Wyoming rustler en- route TO Canada.
Two other men suspected to be in COM
munication with horse thieves have
m~ysteriously disappeared within the
past few days. Two parties are now out
after the rustlers who are now located at
jackson hole in Wyoming with a thous
and stolen horses in their possession. A
party of fifteen, all frontier and Montana
under the leadership of Sim Roberts
left Big Timber in eastern Montana for
jackson hole "a few days ago. Another
party expects to reach the north end of
the basin under the leadership of Chap
brothers at about the same time as
the first party. Each will be largely re-
on ITS way to the hole and as
every man is determined to rid the
country of rustlers, some interesting
may soon be expected.

81. Louis, April 11.-Five pistol shots
were discharged in the back room OF the
house at No. 76 North 18th street about
. O'Clock this morning. When the room
was entered shortly afterwards, Howard
Echols. a mulatto, was found dead on
the floor with two bullet holes in his
body and Jennie Harris, also colored.
was dying on the bed, having been shot
three times. \ pistol was lying at the
side of each. The couple had been liv-
ing together. but had quarreled and
Echols had threatened to kill the girl
and then commit suicide. AS the woman's
weapon had been discharged twice and
the mans three times and the wounds on
each correspondent with the empty
shells in the revOlvers, it is supposed
when Echols went to the house to carry
out his threat he found the girl armed
and ready for resistance and that really
a duel took place between them with the
above result. There were no witnesses
to the tragedy. The woman will die.
