Murders in Ireland.

Dublin special: An old woman who
owned half an acre ut Nenagh. County
of Tipcrary, died without leaving a
relative or specifying an heir. Her
neighbors quarreled over the possess
sion of her land. Some thirty men
fought with scythes and pitchforks
around her hut. Eventually they
broke down the door. upset the body
and beat each other with the candles
which stood around the body. When
the fight was ended two men lay dead
at the doorstep and five others were
too seriously injured to walk from the
scene of the conflict.
