Herman stImm Kills His Wife and Child,
and After Several Attempts Sue
Deeds in Taking His
Own Life.


GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, Jan. u.-In one of
the three little rooms above the Kent
Paint company's store the bodies of
three people-Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Stimm and their ~six-year-oId son, were
found weitering in their blood, dead,
Saturday morning. 4 mute witness

jet of brains from the child's head had
been thrown TO the ceiling when the shot
that cut its little life short as it lay in
bed had been fired, and another wound
ia the head showed that the father had
not calculated TO half do the job. One
bullet had been sufficient to kill Mrs
Stimm, and il had entered squarely be.

OF his blood-stained fingers on the key

wife's dying agonies he held the revol-
YER against his forehead and pulled the
trigger. His nerve was gone, however,
and the revolver raised as the shot was
fired and the ball simply cut a three
inch scalp wound in the top of his head.
Raising the hammer again he pointed
the weapon at his chin. The ball missed
its mark and grazed his neck, hardly
tearing the skin. Then, holding the re-
yolver close to his left breast, he sent d
ball clashing into his yitals and fell I'VE
dead, while the weapon dropped into
the pool of blood beside him.
The Discovery.
The shots were heard by many people.
but no one investigated. When the
Kent company's store was opened Sat.
urday morniny blood was found oozing
through the ceiling and dropping ON the
floor. The door to the rooms above was
forced by Sheriff Acheson and the au-
thorities took charge. Family troubles
were responsible for the crime, Stimm
having repeatedly threatened, since his
wife sued him for a divorce, to kill her
and himself. Mrs. Stimm vas a mus
cular woman and did not fear him.
They had been living apart since the be
ginning of the suit, but Stimm went to
her home Friday night. He was a box
maker by trade and 80 years of age.
Mrs. Stimm came here from Monroe and
married Stimm seven years ago.
