Two Mi,er. suicide.

Chicago, Sept. l0.-Peter Jackson and
his wife, both past 60, childless. healthy
for their years and owning the fiat
building in which they lived. were found
dead in their rooms at 40 Belmont ave-
rue yesterday afternoon. Each was
fully dressed.
clutching in its bony fingers bag of
dining room. Both had been dead for
hours when Policeman Wisniewski
broke a kitchen window and entered
their apartments. He was almost stifled
with the fumes Of gas. In the parlor
dining room and bedroom the Jets were
wide open. The stove connection in the
kitchen was broken. and from it dense
volume of deadly vapor leaked into the
fiat.
According to the neighbors Mrs. Jack
son was penurous, morose and jealous.
The bag Of money in her dead hands
seems to bear out at least one Of these
charges. The husband, a jovial soul In
life, had the reputation OF being free
with his money. IL not spendthrift
garrulous and even gay for old man.
The officials who are now trying to find
out the motive and manner Of this mur-
der and suicide or double suicide. believe
that the querulous, economical old wife,
who died with the money bag in her
hands, is the author of the singular
crime. They think she slew her hus-
band and died with him. either from
motives of jealousy or parsimony, or
both.
The old man had been about in the
neighborhood in the morning. He
seemed especially cheerful. over the
back fences he had chatted with Mrs.
Trooper and Mrs. Holenstein. good
neighbors of the adjoining houses. He
had fed the chickens and whistled about
the premises early in the day. He and
his wife owned the building in which
they lived, and the neighbors envied
them.

Shot His Brother.

Sioux City, Sept. 10.-John Rohrer, a
saloon keeper at Fourth and Iowa
streets, was arrested last night for
shooting his brother, Ernest Rohrer, in
the leg.
John Rohrer claims the shooting was
accidental; that he was quarreIing with
a blacksmith named Joe Greener and
drew his revolver to brighten Greener,
when the weapon was discharged and
the ball struck his younger brother
who was on the other side of the sa-
loon.
Ernest Rohrer asserts that he and
his brother quarreled; that John called
him an ugly name and ordered him
out OF the saloon. Ernest started to
walk out. he claims, and was shot in
the calf of the leg. He believes from
the actions of his brother that 1t was
not his intention to shoot him. but
merely to brighten him.
The bone in the leg was shattered
by the bullet and the man will probab-
ly be laid up for some weeks, but the
injury is not a dangerous one.
