DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Terrible Deed of Farmer Campbell
in Van Buren, County.
He Has Dispute with His Divorced Wife
Over Property and Commits Suicide
After Shooting the Woman
Dead.
BLoopsuEp NEAR BANGOR.


KALAMAZOO, April sandy Camp
bell, farmer, was the chief actor in a
double tragedy at his farmhouse miles
south of Bangor, Van Buren, county,
late Friday afternoon. For many
years he had had domestic trouble
with his wife, and on his re-
quest was granted divorce. Mrs.
Campbell had considerable property
and the divorce did not end their
quarrels. One of her houses was
burned under suspicious circumstances.
Campbell had his life insured for SO, 900
In favor of his S-year-old son, who was
left to his keeping, and five daughters
were left without support. Mrs.
Campbell had just hired man
to work her farm, which did not
please Campbell, and he called on
the wife and after few hot
words fired two shots at her, one
striking her in the forehead and the
second in the neck. He then turned his
revolver against his own forehead and
fired ball into his own brain. Both
died instantly. A 16-year-old daughter
witnessed the whole tragedy and noti-
fed G. Ill. Borse, who found both dead
in their own blood, Mrs. Campbell on
the lounge and he on the floor.
