was seated in conversation with Messrs.
T. VI. Goodwin and d. w Sutton. Their
first salutation was Hold up your

and Mr.. Goodwin received what is
thought to be a mortal wound and Mr..
Adair was shot through the shoulder.
He returned the fire and evidently
wounded one OF the men, as when he
rode off he was seen TO be bleeding
The firing Of the pistols startled the
citizens, who came running from all di-
regions, and the robbers were forced
to retire without accomplishing their
object As they rode out of town they
kept up a fusilade of shots and went
out northwest of town. The plans were
well laid and no doubt the bank would
have been looted but for the prompt
ness of Mr.. Adair with his pistol. Mr..
Goodwin is in a critical condition. Mr..
Adair's wound is a very painful but
not dangerous one.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A. W. Patterson and His Wife Both
Found Dead---A Letter Telling
That They Had Contemplated Sui

Been in Good Spirits.

Madison, Wis, February 25.-A ter
rible tragedy resulting in the fatal
shooting of Mrs. A. w. Patterson by
her husband. and his death by his own
hands imediately afterward occurred
at midnight last night at their home
in this city. Whether it was not prac-
tically a double suicide is a question.
A letter. Ostensibly by both parents,
was left to the children saying hus-
band and wife had premeditated sui
eide for some time and resolved to die
together. This declaration however,
is opposed by the fact that when found
the wife. who had retired and was in
her night robe. had one arm thrown
across her face as if to shield it and a
bullet in the arm. while the husband
was still fully dressed. Both. with
other members of the household. had
attended revival services being held
here by 3. Fay Mills. during the even
ing and had gone to their rooms appa-
rently IN the best of spirits. The fam
lily came here from Algona, Ia. No
other motive than insanity on the part
of the husband. or intended suscide on
the part of both, can be assigned for the
deed.

steamer Bermuda, flying the British

was evidence that she was preparing
for sea.
Al II p. m, just after large party

was in violation Of th instructions sent

merely was not sufficient ground for
arrest. but that evidence of intention
10 violate the neutrality laws was re-
Quired.
