DOUBLE TRAGEDY
AT SIOUX FALLS
Sign Painter Kills His Divorced Wife
and Himself, Woman Refusing
to Remarry Him.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept 12.-One
of the worst tragedies in the history of
Sioux Falls was enacted on one Of the
principal business streets tonight,when
J. p. Harrington, local sign painter,
shot and almost instantly killed Inez
Borse, his divorced wife, and then fired
bullet into his own head, dying in
stantly.
The couple were married seven years
ago, but after living together until two
years ago, she left him and procured a
divorce on the grounds of drunkenness
and cruelty. Since that time Herring
ton has persistently attempted to in
duce her to remarry and again live
with him. These efforts We're unsuc-
cessful and terminated in the tragedy
of tonight. So annoying became his
opportunities that the woman evaded
him, rendering it very difficult for him
to see her.
In order to meet her and commit the
crime, which evidently had been care
fully planned, he this evening sent her
by messenger boy purported tele-
gram, which read
'Inez: Meet me at the corner by
the hatter's, just opposite the court
house, as I am going to Salt Lake at
4:3O in the morning. Meet me at 9
o'clock. j. P. Herrington."
She met him as requested and at
9:15 their dead bodies were lying on
the sidewalk within two or three hun
dred feet of the court house. Scores
of people were on the street at the
time. Deputy Sheriff Crooks was only
short distance away when the first
shot was fired but before he could
reach the scene the object of the mur-
derer and suicide had been accom-
plished.
The woman was shot three times. in
the shoulder, heart and head. After
the first shot was fired she attempted
to push the murdererao off the sidewalk.

herd. The cause of death was peritonitis,
brought on by an attack of appendicitis.
Mr.. Shepherd, long known as BOSS"
Shepherd, was born in Washington, ID.
c., Jan. 80, 1885. His fathers death led
him to engage in business while boy,
and he was very successful. He enlisted
in 1861 in the Washington volunteers, and
the same year was president of the city
council. He was a strong advocate Of
public improvements. and became chair
man of the Citizens Reform association,
which secured legislation establishing
territorial government in Washington.
President Grant appointed him governor
of the District of Columbia, and Mr.
Shepherd planned and carried out large
public improvements, which made Wash
ington the most beautiful city in the
country. Charges of corruption were
made against him. but investigation fall
ed to sustain them. Congress changed
the district government to one by three
commissioners. President Grant nomi-
mated Shepherd as a commissioner but
the senate refused confirmation. Later,

LATEST ERUPTION
OF MOUNT PELEE
Prof. Heilprim Gives the Results Of
Observation Among the
Ruins.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
Sept. 12.-Prof. Angelo Heilprin, pres
ident of the Philadelphia Biographical
society, who is in Martinique in the
interests of the National Geographical
society, has made the following report
of the recent eruptions of Mont Pelee.
''The scene Of destruction in the last
eruption az Mont Pelee far surpasses
in extent that of the eruption of May
g. when st. Pierre was destroyed, in
scludes the broad area lying between
Macouba and Carbet and involves
Haute Tours de Bourron, Basse Pointe,
Morne BaIaf and Ajoupa Bouillon,
where alone upward of 800 persons
were killed, as well as ,Morne Rouge,
with death loss of probably not less
than I,16a persons; Morne Capot and

leaving the last named place untouch-
ed.
Great cinders fell also over the
region with ashes. In Carbet the ashes

lie one foot 7deepsa and nearly the same
amount covers the ruins of st. Pierre.
All of Morne Rouge, with the excep-
ton Of about four houses and the
beautiful church,l has been swept to
the ground and the greater part of
the town has been burned up. At
sAjoupa Bouillon. where one-half of the
town has BEEN prostrated, there Is no
trace of fire of ar4y kind.
'The destrusiave blast, instead of
confining itself to a section or area, as
was the case during the first eruption,
was distributed radically, crossing the
low summit of the volcano near the
knob Of Morne Jacob and skipping four
zones between It's rays. The danger
from Mont Pelee Is thus materially
increased, and perhaps no position in
the north Of the island is absolutely
safe. The government has ordered the
evacuation of all points reached by a
radius of about eight or ten miles from
the crater.
"The recent phenomena were pre-
cise1y like those of May 8, death re-
sulting in most cases from contact
with the terribly swift and hot blast
which burned and which suffocated.
The sulphur emitted from the crater
during the recent eruptions was COM
paratively Insignificant although 1t
densely permeated the ash cloud which
fell over Precheuer.'

WATERFORD, Ireland, Sept. I'm
acknowledging the presentation today of
the freedom of the city of Waterford John
Redmond, chairman of the United Irish
league and of the Irish Parliamentary par
ty, said the agrarian question, the last
real obstacle to home rule, was near set

The ranks of the Irish landlords were in
revolt against the few wealthy politician
landlords who had long led them to ruin.
The crimes act proclamation justified any
resistance, even armed rebellion. If this
was not resisted he would despair of OBJ

Per Cent of Corn Crop Promises to

The severe frosts having wrought
much destruction, the weather will
now grow warmer. The frosts through
out Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and Northern Iowa have killed the
corn that was not matured, rendering
1t unfit for anything but fodder. All
late vegetables have been totally de-
stroyed.
The effect of the boreal breath has
also been felt in Wisconsin and Ne
braska, where the maturing OF corn
will be seriously retarded. 1t was re-
marked of Nebraska by an old Board
of Trade speculator yesterday:
Nebraska corn has never been
touched by frost, but it will catch it
now."
Corn BIighted Everywhere.
In the northern part of Iowa the de-
structive effect of the frost was much
felt. The corn was not matured, and
in some places from one-fifth to one
half of the crop is ruined. 1t is esti-
mated that in many sections only 80
per cent of the crop will be marketed.

Near Marshalltown, Iowa, the frost
was severe enough to kill all delicate
plants. 1t is said that the effect there
on corn may not be hard, but on the
lowlands it is damaged.
AT Iowa Falls the frost did most
damage, the injury being so great that
the corn will have to be cut and fed to
cattle.
Vegetation Totally Destroyed.
AT Huron, S. D., the frost was ex-
tremely severe, the mercury falling as
low as 26 degrees. The corn is ruined
beyond recovery, and garden stuff was
killed. At Pierre the thermometer reg
istered as low as 80, which is the low
est it has been there at this season for
twelve years. Light ice formed there
and all vegetation was totally destroy
ed. All through South Dakota the same
conditions prevailed.
In North Dakota all corn was ruined,
and fax was seriously injured. Garden
vegetation was killed AT Bismarck the
temperature was as low, as 2S. At
Moorehead, Mimi, also, the same de-
gree was registered. Throughout Man
itoba and Western Canada the weather
was warmer. Edmonton, the point
farthest north from which reports are
received, reported a temperature of 3S
degrees yesterday morning.

Fertility in Colorado River.

The Pasadena News gives very in- teresting account of talk at a recent banquet in Pasadena. It says:
 Between The Needles and Yuma, along the Colorado River, are perhaps 500 000 acres of fertile, irrigable land, capable of sustaining tens of thou sands of people when once that great Colorado River is diverted to its great est use," said Civil Engineer w. B. Clapp to the company at the Masonic banqueting board last night, as he told of a recent trip he, J. B. Lippincott, and J. A. Ahrens, all of the U. $. Geo. logical Survey, made by going down that Colorado River.
 Mir Clapp also said that the Colo rado River has a watershed of 225,000 square miles. In their own boat, 20 feet long, they spent eleven days going down the 293 miles from The Needles to Yuma At The Needles the river is 450 feet above sea level, while at Yuma it is 107 feet, or drop of about 1A feet to the mile. The surprising estimate was given that the Colorado River carries more silt or fertility in solution than the Nile and the Missis- sippi both together, or enough to make a deposit of six feet deep over 100 square miles each year. Thus rapidly is the mountain regions being brought towards the sea. This silt makes the Colorado River the best water in the

4 Fertile Arizona Valley.

Following is from a description of the valley and town of Tempe, Ariz., in the Arizona Republican:
 Alfalfa and cattle are the mainstay of the valley. The chief source of revenue is derived from the sale of beef cattle. Each year in early spring large numbers of feeders are pur- chased and brought to the valley ranches from the mountain ranges to be fattened for market. The rapid, unceasing, luxuriant growth of alfalfa enables the farmer to pasture seem ingly impossible number of cattle upon but small patch. In 1901 it is estimated there were from 50,0OO to 75,000 cattle pastured in the Salt River Valley
 More fattened cattle grain and hay are shipped from Tempe to market than from any other town in Arizona Territory. From Kyrene, to the south of Tempe, Phoenix looks for her sup ply of wood From that station as high as 100 cars of fuel have been shipped in a single day.
 The hay crop about Tempe during favorable years is remarkable. From three to five crops are always raised, with an average of four. During 1901 1000 cars of hay were shipped to diff ferent points in the Territory. It Is estimated that an acre of alfalfa will
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-02-01

feed from one and half to two head of stock Thirty thousand acres of land are irrigated under the Tempe Canal. More water for irrigating Is to be had under this system than any other section in Arizona.
 The Tempe irrigation system, ac- cording to the Republican, is the largest in the Territory and it covers 30,000 acres. How small as compared to the Imperial system. And then again, the water supply there is limit ed, there being none for irrigation pur- poses as rule after the middle of August.
 If 75,000 head of cattle can be fat tened in the Salt River Valley, what will be the result in the Imperial Set dement's when all the irrigable land here Is brought under cultivation.
 In 1900. according to the United States census, there were less than 10000 acres of alfalfa in the entire Territory of Arizona and this acre age failed to yield full crops because of insufficient water supply late in the season.

world with which to irrigate, provided it can be handled so that the ditches will not clog. MT. Clapp is confident that under a wise policy of national ir- rigation, the Colorado River alone could be made to provide homes for millions of people and that many other arid places could be made fruit full, MT. Clapp gave also some pleas ing personal incidents of the trip but from the few figures and short glimpses given by these competent au- thorities it is evident that that sec tion has great future.
