Mrs. JENKINS DEAD.
Peritonitis Set In Resulting in Death
Accidentally Shot Monday.

Wallingford, Feb. 17.-Mrs. William
Jenkins, who was accidentally shot
Monday morning, died this afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. The shooting was not the
direct cause of deNth, as peritonitis had
set in, which was more dreaded by the
physicians than the operation which
had to take place. DR.. Storrs of Hart
ford, with another physician, made an
examination last evening, and discov-
cred that the bullet was in a harmless
position, but found evidences that peri
tonitis had set in. The operation was
given up, for the disease would have
to be exterminated before the work Of
probing for the bullet could be fin
ished.
Samuel jenkins is nearly crazy over
the death of his sister-in-Iaw.
Mrs. Jenkins leaves husband and
three children by her first husband,
Charles Lombra, who was stabbed to
death by Frenchman named George
BATHS several years ago.
Funeral announcement will be made
later.
