SAN DIEGO, May pa shocking
sight was disclosed in the Morgue TINS
morning where husband and wife OF
twenty-five years standing lay side by
side with their heads nearly blown out
of human shape.

erty and jealousy ending in the nus
band killing his wife, and then making
an end to his own miserable existence.

60, living in the eastern part OF the
city in a small home for the past elght
years with his wife and two boys
George. aged 3, and Donald, aged H.

and mostly supported the family. On

ents. who We're apparently under the
influence of liuuor, quarreled, the boys
and the mother retiring at about
o'clock
However, at 7:30 the boys, hearing a
shot in their mothers room, rushed IN
and found her dead in bed with the
top Of her head almost blown off, WhlIe
there another shot came from the fath-
er's room. Running in they found him
lying dead on the floor with shotgun
at his side He had placed the muz-
zle at his chin, and blown the head all
to pieces.
A strange thing then occurred. The
little boys opened the window OF thef
fathers room, went to bed ana slept
all night, got UP, prepared ana ATE
breakfast, then lifted the father pooy
on to the bed, washed the floor clean
and hitched up the horse and drove TO
the Police Station and reported the
crime
The dead man left a long rambling
letter asking God to forgive the act,
accusing his wife of infidelity and
drunkenness. saying he could stand
her actions no longer. Her name was
Winifred.
He married her twenty-five years ago
at New London, Conn.

successful special sale Of en-

had OF Sacramento's shoppers
ever attended. 1t was the un-
usual high qualities and new
attractive patterns, at unusual
prices, that caused the great
selling which left several hun

bric, nainsook and Swiss, wide

A START
MADE FOR
MANILA,
(Continued from First Page.)

The Government has purchased the
collier Peter Jebsen, now at Howard
street bunkers. The Jebsen is loaded
with several thousand tons of coal,
which will not be removed from her
hold. A couple Of companies of troops
can be quartered on the collier, which is
reported to be assigned to the duty of
towing the coast defense vessel Monte
rey from Honolulu to Manila
1t is understood that the Govern
ment is negotiating for the charter of
the Spreckels steamer Alameda. which
is now at Sydney, N. S. w. The Spreck-
els Company will lease the steamer,
providing they can replace her. If
the Alameda comes to this city without
stopping she can make the trip in about
eighteen days, but her usual voyage
takes about twenty-four days.
The people of California, and espe-
cially of San Francisco, are very proud
of the Oregon's performance, and the
Chamber of Commerce of this city has
forwarded a congratulary telegram TO
Captain Clark expressing its pleasure
over the wonderful run made by his
vessel, which was built at the Union
Iron Works in this city
Several carrier pigeons were taken
on board the transports, and soon
messages from across the sea may be
expected telling of the progress during
the first few hours of the Manila eX-
pedition.
Is is estimated that 100000 people
viewed the departure of the vessels
from the shore, and that 10000 more
were on the bay, every craft that could
float being utilized. The Marin
County coast was also crowded, and
the waving of flags and handkarchiefs
could be seen across the Golden Gate.
The four tugs chartered by the Red
Cross carried relatives of the depart
ing soldiers and the we'll known flag of
the society was loudly cheered. One
OF the last salutes fired was from the
State tug, which carried Governor Budd
and Staff. A salute of twenty-Cne guns
was also fired from the lofty dome of
thu Claus Spreckels Building.
The sailors on the revenue cutters
Rush, Grant and Corwin manned the
yards and bade the transports good
bye in true marine fashion. It may
safely be asserted no grander demon
stration was seen on the Pacific before
aid for enthusiasm it could not have
been exceeded at any port in the coun-
try.
