advices from different parts of the coun-

plants the whole party on the plank of
Tree silver, eliminating all other demands

CHEHALIs CWash.), Feb. 25.-J. A.
Phillips, logger, about 80 years of age,
shot and killed his wife, Estella, at Cen
Cralia, about O'Clock this afternoon.
After writing a note explaining the cause
of the tragedy, he blew out his own
brains. Both died within an hour.
The affair grew out of Phillips jeal-
ousy of his wife. Phillips had been at
the logging camp during the week, and
returned unexpectedly. Shortly after
his arrival his wife came from town, ac-
companied by a young man named Jap
Bowen. She went into the house, leav-
ing Bowen at the gate. She had scarcely
stepped across the threshold before a
neighbor heard shots. When first seen
Phillips stood in the doorway with re-
volver pointing at Bowen, who was run
ming away. Three more shots were heard,
and the neighDors rushed to the house
and broke in the door, which was locked.
Mrs. Phillips lay gasping IN pool OF
blood on the floor. She had been shot IL
the arm and again through the left tenn
ple Phillips was on the bed holding the
revolver in his hand. He had sent bull
let crashing into his brain.
On the table lay a note signed by Phil
lips, which read as follows: LAS L can't
leave without my wife, L have taken this
way to keep her with me. We have no
friends TO mourn tor US, and let this be
lesson to all not to fool with other mems
wives. Good-by to what friends l haze.
Get US into the ground as soon as you
can.'
Phillips wife had borne a good reputa-
ton, but it is said she had been drinking
in a back room OF a saloon with Bowen
before going home. She had two chill
dren, but these Phillips gave away ten
days ago. and on that occasion his wife
tried TO commit suicide with morphine.
The couple were stricken with poverty,
and the miserable little house in which
the tragedy occurred presented a pitiabIe
spectacle when the neighbors broke IN.
Bowen, who fled When the shooting oc
Cured, went to a logging camp near
town, but was brought in by the Sheriff
