TO the house OF his divorced wife in Corrilli-
tos Canyon. near Tropico, where she lived
with her uncle, brother and three children.
Before Craig started he announced he was
going there with the intention OF seeing his
children. hut murder was evidently his inten-
ton for he had armed himself with two re-
volvers and had been drinking heavily dur
ing the afternoon.
When he arrived at the home OF his wife he
delberatly drew n revolver and shot her dead
Her brother, George Hunter, who was some
distance from the house when the shooting

without anv ceremony. ran into the house
and shot and instantly killed his father-in-
law ana his mother-in-aw. He then applied
the pistol TO his own head with the intention
OF ending his existence, but only succeeded
In infiicting slight flesh wound. Two Of
the neiShbors rushed In and disarmed Craig,

During the year ending June 30
there we're 800 passengers on all the
railroads in the United States killed,
q decrease of seveuty.seveu from the
previous year. The total Of 900 in
cludes the victims OF collisions in
which crowded Worlds Fair trains
we're involved. The total number of
passengers carried during the yenr
was 593, j60,6l2. II appears, there
fore, chat the death rate due 20 rail-
way accidents was but one in 2,000,-
900. This is very low, maintains the
New York Mail aud Express. When
mans chances of being killed are but
one in 1000, 600 he is not apt to
worry. 1t is gratifying to know that
even with the great increase of travel
last year the number of fatalities was
nearly twenty-five per cent. less than
in tie previous year. These state
ments piove that railroad travel is not
only ..atively safe, bu, that it is
being made safer every year.
