William Sheffield. his wife and two
daughters at Valiant, l. T.. committed
suicide, his body being found on the
bank of the Red river. An empty
vial was found that had contained
poison. which is taken as evidence
that Wallingberg. knowing he was
pursued by a mob of lynchers. deter
mined to end his life when he found
the waters cf Red river were too high
for him to cross. The two sons of
Sheffield, who escaped, can give no
reason why Wallingberg. who was
Sheffield's son-in-law, committed the
crimes
