man at 4 single gulp. He further says
that the animal was undoubtedly Of the
5amc species as those whose bones and
tasks lie all over that section of the
country.
The fact that other hunters have told
of seeing these monsters browsing on
the herbs up along the river gives 4 cer-
tain probability to the story. Over on

A MOTHERS DOUBLE CRIME.
Cut Her Baby's Throat With a Razor
and Then Cut Her Own.

In Clarence Centre, N Y, Mrs Henry May
bach, twenty-seven years of age, cut her
throat with her husbands razor and cut the
throat OF her seyen-months' old girl baby
Maybach is harness maker, and is thrifty
young man with good business and con-
siderable property. His wife was handsome
woman, accomplished, and a general favorite
in the village. They had two children, girl
of three years old and the baby. For several
days the baby had been teething and very
fretful and in poor health, and the mother
had been greatly concerned for it.
At about 3 o'clock, a. M. while a heavy
thunder storm was inprogress, Mrs. Maybach
awakened her husband to assist her with the
baby. 1t was only restless, and few min
utes afterward Maybach fell asleep again,
supposing his wife was sleeping also. About
an hour later he was awakened by groans,
and sprang out of bed just in time to see his
wife running out of the door into the street
with blood gushing from a great cash in her
throat Looking for the baby he found it in
the baby carriage with its throat cut from
ear to ear. He followed his wife into the
street where he found her with the razor
still in her hand but so weak from the loss
of blood that she was beyond recovery. She
died an hour later The baby was also dead.
The woman left a note saying that she feared
that her baby was going to die, and that she
could not bear to live without 1t, and asking
that all of her property be given to her little
three-year-old daughter.

not send them to the penitentiary.
