Line Cutting Leads to Double Tragedy
Near GRANVILLE, HI.
GRANVILLE, Ill, June ia double
tragedy occurred on the Wabash river
two miles south of here yesterday,
John Mckay and Harmon Woods being
killed by a man named Saulsman.
The men were fishing, Woods and Nc
Kay being together, while the MUIR
derer was alone, each having a number
of lines set. During the morning sew
eral of the lines belonging to Woods
and Mckay were cut and lost. This

party, and hot words were exchanged
between them, and Woods and Mckay
attempted to cut Sau1sman's lines
when he shot them.

Potato DumnIfnx.

Boil five or six good-sized potatoes
with jackets on. Place on top of the
stove to dry when done, taking care to
drain off all water. Peel and mash very
fine, adding one teaspoonful of salt and
a pint of sweet milk. When sufficiently
cool, stir in one-half of yeast cake that
has been previously soaked in warm
water, and mix in -four enough to make
stiff dough. Set in warm place, and
when light mold into little dumplings
and let them rise as for biscuit: place on
top of the potpie and let steam 80 min
utes, keeping covered close. If using an
inside tin. referred to above, place them
on that to rise, as it will save handling.
