WOMAN Killed All SOUR LAKE.

Sour Lake, Tex, Oct Mrs. j.
5. Wynn was shot and killed this
morning at $50 O'Clock, the ball
entering her head at the temple. The
Coroner's Jury failed to agree on a
verdict, five voting for a verdict of
suicide and the others for foul play.
The husband of the dead woman
made statement to the effect that
neither he nor his wife had slept
during the night, and that he had
taken the istol from her. He said
that early this morning, while they
were walking in the hail., the woman
had removed the weapon from his
pocket and gone to her room When
he discovered that the revolver was
missing he made a rush, and Just as
he entered the room his wife fired the
fatal shot.
Mrs. Wynn was the widow of John
Broughton when she was married to
Wynn, and it was understood that
her dead husband had asked her while
dying, to marry Wynn.
Sour Lake, Tex, Oct Sin regard
to the death yesterday of Mrs. j. S.
Wynn, the Coroner's Jury today re-
turned verdict of suicide. The
husband stated that the couple had
become estranged, and after 3 dis
cussion, Wynn told his wife that the
thing to do was to separate. After this
they had continued to walk and talk
over the matter, when Mrs. Wynn
secured a pistol and was about to
shoot herself when her husband took
the weapon from her. He put the
gun in his coat pocket, and the
couple were again in the hall when
Mrs Wynn secured the pistol and
went at once to her room. When Mr..
Wynn found that she had the gun, he
started into her room, and just as he
showed the screen door open the fatal
shot was fired. While he did not
actually see the act, he was so close
as to see that it was fired by his
wife.
There was romance in connection
OF the marriage of the couple. When
Wynn came here he was working for
John Broughton; for whom he had
worked in the Corsicana oil field.
Mr.. Broughton died here, and it is
said that he thought so much of his
employe that on his death bed he
asked that his widow marry Wynn,
and this came about. Mrs. Brough-
ton was possessed of comfortable
competence, and Wynn also had
money. He made more while oper-
ating here, and lis now fairly we'll
fixed.
The dead woman was SO years Of
age, and left no children. The
funeral took place this morning and
was largely attended.

With the bursting OF spring, the
little colony of Trappist monks In
Cumberland, r. l., enter upon their
fifth season of agriculture.
Nearly five years ago, when Father
Murphy approached the bishop OF the
diocese of Rhode Island, and suggest
ed that he and several fathers and
brothers of the order Of Trappists
would like to found a home in Rhode
Island, he was informed that the only
land which the church could grant
him was some wild farming property
in Lonsdale, part of Cumberland.
Very well" said Father Murphy,
then we shall establish our new
colony on this land"
At that time the property was alb
solutely barren. Those parts of 1t
which were not rock-bound were deep
in the mire. There were no redeem
ing features to the swamps, and when
the farmers in the neighborhood
heard that few monks were going to
try and reclaim the land they shook
their heads.
But Father Murphy and his three or
four people came, and they built a
little dugout in the side of hill. And
they began to work and to plan for
the building of larger house. In a

my wife has been talking a good

few months the new house was COM
pleted, and there was also a service
able cowshed and hennery. In the
cowshed they kept few fine Jerseys,
and the milk was rich in cream, and
they made it into rich cheese, and
established a sale for the milk and the
cheese.
They had already begun to turn a
profit and to see that the sterile
acres would yield If intelligence
directed the movements of the peo-
pie who worked upon them. So they
sent away for more brothers in the
order to come and join the colony.
They bought more COWS and horses
and hens.
They began to plow the ground, and
they piled the great rocks into heaps
along the sides of the newly made
roads. In the property there were
nearly 600 acres, and most of it was
covered with stones So they decided
to sell the stones to the townspeople
for use in the stone crusher. More
profit resulted from this. And all the
time the fame of the cheese and the
milk was going abroad. 1t had ceased
to be fad. 1t was now commercial
product, and it sold as fast as it
could be made.

House for Guests Established.


There was a farmhouse at the far
Their end of the farm, and they decid-
ed to use this for a guest house,
where people who wished to be at rest
for awhile might come and live. At
once the place was filled with guests
who enjoyed the quiet of the coun-
try and who liked to eat the fresh
food that was raised on the farm.
Business was booming at the farm
all this time. The fathers added more
cows to the herd, they built a larger
barn, and then they bored for an arte-
sian well. Water was not found until
they reached a great depth, but it is
the purest water in the state, and
they have built windmill over it.
New fences were being strung all
over the farm. New plots of land
were being seeded with grain and
other cereals. The demand for stones
for the crusher and for milk and
cheese was constantly increasing.
Something must be done to supply the
demand.
By the rules Of the Trappist order
they may not solicit aid They may
only increase the funds of the order
by selling the product of their hands
and brains. Father Murphy saw that
