WISCONSIN TRADGEDY.
Two Women Murdered and Their Bod.
les Burned.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, April IA terri
bic tradgedy occurred about ten miles
west OF this city last night, resulting
il Mrs. Nat Gibson and Mrs. Hearn
being shot by the formers husband
and their bodies burned in the house
OF the murderer.
In the morning Gibson and his wif5
quarreled They decided to call on
Mrs. Hearn to act as pecemaker.
Shortly afterwards two pistol shots
were heard by Glbson's children, who
were playing near the house, and inn
mediately following the house was
seen to be in flames. The children
ran to Mrs. Hearn's house and gave
the alarm. When Mr.. Hearn arrived
on the scene the house was almost en-
tirely consumed. Upon investigation
the bodies of Mrs Gibson and Mrs.
Hearn were found burned to crisp.
The little girl said that after the
shots were fred she saw her father
run from the house and go towards
the woods in the direction OF White
Water. The impression is that Glib
son in fit of anger shot the women
and fired the place to hide the crime,
A posse of citizens was organized and
started in pursuit of Gibson. Several
hundred men are after him with guns
and ropes, and he, no doubt, will be
lynched il captured.

ALL READY TO EXPLODE.
Story As to the HypothecaiiOn Of Ten
nesSee Bonds.

NASHVILLE, April 14-There is q
growing feeling that the approaching
trial OF Frank Porterfed will d velop
new sensations in the Commercial Ma
tional bank sensation here. AS one
little thing after another has come to
light the public has grown to belief
almost amounting t. conviction that
the 100000 OF tennessee bonds on
deposit with the Nsrional Bank of the
Republic in New York were in hook
sometime or other in the game, and
put in by somebody in Nashville for
several hundred thousand dollars.
The story goes that this big loan
had to be repaid, and that the sudden
demand for SO much money precipi
tated the failure of the Commercial
National bank, and Of Dobbins & Da-
zey also.
No one who knows anything will
talk, but there is great chain Of cir,
cumstantial evidence forming around

The season has come to begin the

vile company has begun to cut prices
1t is eminently proper for our people
to get that indispensable article as
cheaply as possible, and il is also their
duty to remember we have splen
did factory in our own town which
makes ice just as pure and cheap as
any factory in the State. 1t is the aim
of the Knoxville factory to cut the
prices down so low that our factory
will be compelled to shut down, then
up goes the price of ice. There is but
one way to patronize our own indus

which we are Informed twill do, and
then for our people to refuse Knox
