A SUNDAY HORROR.
Double Murder and Suicide by a Hus-
band and Father.

Chicago, H., Aug 2O.-Crazed by liquor
Douglass Curtis, a switch thrower in the
employ of the Western Indiana railway,
made desperate, successful attempt at
murder and suicide at his home in Au-
burn Park to-day He shot ana instantly
killed his 7-year-old daughter Leslie,
propably fatally wounded his wife, and
sent ball through his own brain. Death
was instantaneous The terrible affair
had been deliberately planned Curtis
had been on spree for three weeks and
spent what little money he had saved,
leaving his family dependent wholly upon
the kindness of neighbors.
THE LETTER HE LEFT.
Curtis rose about o'clock this morn
ing went into saloon and took several
drinks. Returning home, he walked up
stairs and let himself into his room. Pull
ing of his shoes, coat and vest, he drew
chair to the washstand and wrote the
following note:
Please notify John f. Craig, No. 1S NJ
F1tth street, KeolSuk, Iowa; also Myron Cur
us, La Harp, Hancock, Ill. Cause adversely.
DOUGLASS CURTIS.
THE MANS FRIGHTFUL DEEDS
He then drew revolver and crept into
the room where his wife and daughter
were sleeping. The crazed man reached
across the bed, and, thrusting the muzzle
of the revolver close to his daughters S
mouth he pulled the trigger The
bullet went crashing into the child $
brain from the revolver which was held
close enough to burn the flesh on her face.
The terrible charge had done it's work
well, killing the girl instantly. The
shock had in measure unnerVed the
murderer With the report his hand
trembled, and he fell forward across his
wife. Though slightly deaf TO the stun
ming report, the weight of her husband
across her bed woke her, and she strug-
gled to get free.
As she turned from him in her efforts
to get up he placed the muzzle of the
pistol to the back of her head There
was fash, a report, smothered groan,
and she fell back in the bed, unconscious,
though not dead.
FINISHING HIS AWFUL WORK.
Then cooking the revolver with his left
hand, he placed the muzzle close to his
own head and pulled the trigger. Death
was instantaneous
1t was some moments after the last shot
had been fired that Mrs Curtis, blindly
staggering from her blood-soaked bed
reached the door, and, descending TO the
floor beneath, walked into Mrs. White
houses apartments.
"Give me a drink; am shot" gasped
the wounded woman. Mrs. Whitehouse
led Mrs Curtis to her own bedroom and
sent for police officer and physician
When these arrived they found Curtis
and his daughter dead and Mrs. Curtis
unconscious. She was at once removed
to q hospital and the bodies Of the dead
were removed to the morgue.

Chicago University in Straits.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Chicago University
is severely affected by the existing tlnan-
cial depression. The institution is practl-
cally out of funds, and the prospect for
replenishing is not encouraging. While
there are no debts pressing heavily on the
university, the trustees find it impossible
to carry out at present the plans for the
development of the school, and an un-
pleasant postponement of improvements
is inevitable.
