A QUADRUPLE TRAGEDY
After Killing His Uncle and Mother
fn-Law q Missouri Man IS Shot Down
by the Sheriff Who is Also Killed.

Leavenworth, Kan, August pa
peculiarly distressing quadruple trag-
ledy took place today at Farley, a small
town across the river in Missouri.
DR.. Sturley Harrington, a physician of
Farley, drunk and imagining fancied
wrongs, killed James Wallace, his I'M
lcle, a wealthy farmer; Mrs. William
Wallace, Harrington's mother-in-law;
u. p. Dillingham;, sheriff of Platte coun-
Ity, who tried to arrest him, and was
in turn shot dead by Harry Dilling-
ham, the sherif's son.
Before he was cornered by the
Isheriff's posse, Harrington held up the
clerk in a general store at the point
of his revolver and exchanged shots
with the clerk, firing into a crowd Of
spectators.
Harrington's ~12-year-old daughter
was a forced witness Of the different
stages Of the tragedy, h physician
taking her with him in his buggy as
lhe went from place to place on his
bloody errand.
Saturday night Harrington quarreled
with his wife and drove her from home,
Threatening her life. He had had words
with James Wallace over q line fence
and had been On a protracted spree.
Mrs. Harrington had not returned
home this morning and Harrington, re-
Ipairing to Wallace's home, demanded
to know where she could be found.
Wallace professed TO have no knowl-
edge of her whereabouts; whereat Har-
rington whipped out a revolver and
shot him. twice, nee in the head and
once through the heart.
Leaving his victim as he lay, Har-
|rington drove half a mile to the home
|of Mrs. William Wallace n again de-
manded to know of his wife. To Mrs.
Wallace's answer that she knew moth
ing of Mrs. Harrington, the physician
shot her dead before she could make
an Outcry.
The of the shooting is said to
be trouble aused by Harrington's hav-
ing been expelled from the Masonic
lodge of Farley. He was expelled some
time ago and charged his uncle, James
Wallace, and Daniel Cannon with be-
ing instrumental in the proceedings.
1t is said he made the threat that he
would clean out every Mason in Platte
county for this action. No reason has
been ascribed for Harrington's having
shot his mother-in-law, except that he
was crazed with liquor.
The Wallaces were among the most
respected citizens of Platte.
