DASTARDLY CRIME.
Man and His Wife Shot Down in Cold
BLOOD and Their Tent
Robbed.

Waco, Tex, Nov. 2.-J. W. McDon-
aid and his wife, Susan, were shot
from ambush from the bank of the
Brazos river near the Calls county line
and both killed. They were there fish
ing, and were near their tent when
some one fired upon them. The old
gentleman was about so yards from
the tent when he was shot twice in the
head The wife was hundred yards
away, and the shot was evidently very
close, for the woman's clothing took
fire and her body was burned to a
crisp.
The murderer was evidently after
money, for it was known that the old
man had some in his tent. A son, nine
years old, was found near the place
and brought to this city. His head was
badly lacerated and he was in dazed
condition.

notoriety that might be traded at

pathetic side to this incident not to

Tie steps that are now being
taken for the formation of an Gamer

ably justified. Nevertheless, the av-
