Co, H., N. G. S. NJ, Notes.

The work of Co II, n. G.. S. NJ, at
the rifle range will close for the sea-
son Wednesday Some fine scores have
been made. and this, added to the fact
that the company team captured the
Capt. J. Frederick Hill trophy at the
Brunswick shoot, makes the seasons
work worthy of pride.
The boys have been hampered some
what by the fact that most of the men
were noviceS. and also by the fact that
the work this season has been carried
on in the face of no improvements or
repairs to the range, except such as
the men could make themselves.
The Thanksgiving shoot when it is
proposed to hold, needs for its success
several changes at the range. The
snow flies. and the present trench is
not sufficiently extended The target
house needs repair, as under the pres
cnt circumstances there is an clement
of danger in tending the targets.
The proposed repairs are small in
cost and would add much to the safe
ty and convenience of the users of the
range. who arc not confined to the
membership of Co. II. as shooting on
the ranges by citizens is thing that
the National Guard encourages. 1t is
for this very purpose of promoting the
interest of citizens that the Thanks
giving shoot has been projected
The arrangements for this event are
well under way, and it is now believed
that the affair will be success.

KILLS FIANCEE
Then Puts Bullet Through
His Own Brain.
Mad Deed Committed In Hotel
By New York Banker.
Eaamoled Of Beautiful ShopgiI|, Takes Her
To HoS!elry and Ends Both Lives.

New York, Oct. 2S.--LouiS -. Hamn-
ton. assistant secretary Of the Unite
states Trust Co, at No. As Wall street.
murdered a beautiful young woman in
the Hotel Chiffon. No. - West Ninth
street, and then sent Il bullet through
his own brain late last night and to-
day the bodies of the two lay side BY
side in the morguc.
The woman murdered by the middle
aged financier was Victoria |. Tacz-
kow % years old. who has been living
with her father, John; her invalid
mother, and her brother, Stanisiaus, at
No. 231 East Thirteenth street For
the past six years she has been en-
picked in a big department store.
There she made an excellent salary,
and she bore reputation that could
not be questioned until, some months
ago, Hampton saw her and became so
fascinated by her that he seemed to
be half craZcd when she was out of his
sight.
When there was only one remaining
shot in the revolver the man is believed
to have stretched himself on the floor
poked the nozzle of the weapon into his
mouth and fired. The position in which
his body was found would indicate that
he had taken this precaution.
The identity of the people was estab-
lished from cards and papers found in
the ROOM On a number of business
cards were printed Louis G. Hampton,
Highlands. n. Y" Other cards in his
pockets bore the name Mrs. Louis G.

the murder and suicide was taken to the
brother the latter collapsed. His daugh-
ter ran to him and then said:

nation of any kind at this time
Henry l.. Thornell, who until this
spring was secretary of the trust COM
pany, said at the Hotel Hawthorne, 20
West FOrty-ninth street, that Mr.. Hamp-
tons act had absolutely nothing to do
with the bank.
Mr.. Hampton suffered stroke of
nervous prostratlon some years ago and
had been irresponsible at times since
