Farmer Shot Dead by a Woman.


A most cold-blooded murder on the
streets of Harrisville startled the vii
lage as it had not been startled in
many years. Mrs. Robert Dobson, of
HAYNES, shot James Anderson, farm
err, living near Haynes, four times and
he died almost instantly. Immediately
afterward the woman was arrested and
Jailed. She said that she did not re-
pret her action as Anderson will no
longer be able TO SANDER her.
Anderson was sitting in his buggy
in front of the Hudson house waiting
for his wife who was in the hotel,
when Mrs. Dobson walked hurriedly
up to the buggy and the two engaged
in earnest conversation for several
moments. Suddenly she whipped out
a revolver and shot four times in rapid
succession into his body. Anderson
fell over into his buggy; the horses
started up suddenly and the body rolled
lifeless out upon the ground.
Mrs. Dobson was attending the
farmers institute at Harrisville, with
her husband and four small children,
on the day of the tragedy. She is a
woman of splendid appearance and
bright intellect, but it is said that hei
mind has become almost unbalanced
over the reports which she alleges that
Anderson circulated about her

considerably less than for several days.
The bearish tendency Of yesterdays close
