Killed Himself and Family.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 15.--One of the
most shocking tragedies that ever oc
CURED in this city came to light to. day
when the dead bodies of Edgar II. Wash.
burn, a member of the grain firm OF

had shot and killed his wife and daughter
and then turned tho weapon upon his
head and killed himself. 1t is believed
tho deed was committed while Mr.. Wash.
burn was suffering from temporary
lit OF insanity. He had written a letter
recently, saying that he was having trou-
bles in business. AS far as is known the
members of the family had not had any
trouble among themselves. Last even.
ing was spent by the Washburn family
at the house of a neighbor There were
music and games and all the members OF
the Washburn family appeared in a
Jovial mood. The tragedy was discov.
erd by relative, who called at the
Washburn house shortly after noon to.
day. When the police arrived they found
Mrs. Washburn and her daughter living
dead, side by side. in bed, and Washburn
was dead on the floor at the foot of the
bed. Evidently Washburn shot the girl
first as she lay in bed. When Mrs
Washburn, aroused by tho shot, partly
raised herself in the bed Washburn fired
the second shot, the bullet entering the
woman's left temple and causing instant
death. Washbmn then picked up g

new ants are destroying cotton boil
worms and are attacking the similar in

than they do the boil weevils. Another
important fact is that the ants do not in
