.MADMAN KILLS
y, WIFE AND SELF
MINNEAPOLIS MAN MURDERS HIS
WIFE AND COMMITS SUICIDE
WITH RAZOR.
FIERCE FIGHT WITH MANIAC

Minneapolis, Dec. 15.-Crazed with
worry over financial losses, c. M. Col
by, sixty-five years old, yesterday
morning murdered his wife and killed
himself with razor in their home in
this city.
The wife fought frantically for her
life when attacked by the demented
man. and her daughter, Mrs Ernest
Boyd, twenty-five years of age, ran
from the house in search of help, but
returned with aid too late to prevent
the terrible tragedy. She found her
parents lying lifeless on the floor with
the blood-stained razor between them.
Caused by Financial Losses.
The insanity which caused the deed
had been noted in Mr.. Colby by his
wife and daughter for some time. Re-
peated financial losses had unbalanced
his mind and he had spoken often Of
killing himself, and had suggested to
them that they all take strychnine
Only few hours before he made his
murderous assault upon his wife he
had turned on the gas in their rooms
in an effort to kill the entire family
The mother and daughter discover
ed the leaking gas in the night and
turned it Off.
Says I'VE Won't Work To-day"
The daughter rose about Z o'clock
and prepared breakfast. Her father
and mother soon came into the kitch-
en-, and while Mrs. Boyd was in the
dining room she heard her father say,
I'VE won't have to workqvery- hard to-
day, moth err"
The fears of the women were arous-
ed at the tone Of his voice, and as the
wife shrank from her husband he sud
denly stepped to her side and Crap
pied with her. With one free arm he
pulled a razor from his pocket and at
tackled his wife with it.
The daughter jumped to the rescue
and desperate fight ensued, the two
women battling for what they knew
meant their own and the mans life.
II Find sickening Sight.
BY superhuman strength they man
aged to get him to the floor, and while
the mother sat upon his chest and at
tempted to hold him she sent her
daughter for aid.
Eugene Murray, an expressman, liv-
ing nearby, heard the girls cries for
help and rushed into the house with
her The sight that met their eyes
was sickening. The bodies of the
man and wife lay on the floor with
blood streaming from ugly wounds in
their necks. Both were dead when
reached.
Mrs. Boyd is on the verge of nerv.

News OF the Northwest
PREY UPON THE FARMER.
Peddlers Gain the Confidence Of Soil
FILLER, and Then "Work' Him.

Peddlers Gain the Confidence Of Soil
Tiller, and Then work" Him.
The financial panic in the East sent
the "yeggmen' to the West to prey
upon the smaller banks of the country,
for it was rightfully supposed that
they would carry large amount of
money. Along with the "yeggmen"
came another class who saw a way in
which to prey upon the farmers. This
was dishonest class of grocery ped
diers who have been working in the
counties in the Mitchell district with
more OF less success These grocery
peddlers are not connected with any
reliable house, but take the RESPONSE
bility upon themselves. They reached
the conclusions that if any class of
people would take their money from
the banks and hoard it at home, it
would be the farmer, and SO the gro
Gerry peddler has started through the
country with a cheap proposition to
sell groceries. $500
The plan of the peddler, as it has
been successfully worked, is to call
vi tllO I0i 4AACl ttAiu lohS'f q small oAASi
at first, asking merely for a dollar in
cash to help pay his travelling ex-
penses. In the course of a week the
grocery order arrives. filled to the let
ter, with everything that the order
contained and the goods of a better
grade than was anticipated. 1t is the
policy to let the cheapness of the
goods and his seeming reliability soak
in for week, when he returns for a
second order. And, here is where the
swirdle comes in. A farmer in an adj
joining county was drawn into buying
q second order of the peddler, and as
the goods were cheap, he was induced
to invest about SIS in grocery bill.
The peddler asked $25 cash on the
order, and as he proved perfectly hon
est in the first instance, the farmer
trusted to the honesty of the peddler
a second time. and that is where he
lost out. The peddler took the money,
assured the farmer that the groceries
would be sent soon, and then departed
to work his scheme on others, plenty
of whom he found.

DuLuTH DEMANDS AN INQUIRY
Commerce Commission to Investigate
Railroads Warehouses.

Railroads Warehouses.
Duluth, Dec. 15.-In an attempt to
remedy what is described as the rank
injustice being done the commercial
interests of Duluth by the. Northern
Pacific. Great Northern and Omaha
railroads in granting local free storage
facilities and other special privileges
to Twin City business houses, to the
manifest benefit and advantage of the
latter, and the equally manifest detri-
ment and disadvantage Of Zenith City
wholesalers and jobbers, the Duluth
Commercial club largely through the
efforts of President w. E. Magner, has
secured hearing before the interstate
commerce commission to he held next
Wednesday, Dec. 10, in st. Paul!
The whole trouble develops from
the practice of the railroads named in
granting free storage privileges on
shipments Of goods consigned from
Eastern points via the lake route to
Minneapolis and ST Paul, holding such
goods here without charge until May
1, il SO desired. and then forwarding
them to the Twin Cities.
The goods are billed as ''in transit
and therefore are not subject to taxa
ton, either here or in the Twin Cit.

Parson Marries Widow After Many

Over a score of years ago, when he
first came to Deadwood as a young
missionary from the East, Rev. George
Perry, then the first Presbyterian
clergyman in the Black Hills, met Mrs.
Katherine Lane OF .Whitewood. Mr.
Perry had his work cut out and stuck
to it nobly, enduring many privations
during the early days. that the dozen
churches he established in that section
might thrive, and he succeeded.
A a few days ago Rev. Perry surpris-
ed his old friends by leading Mrs
Lane, a comely and well-to-do widow,
to the altar, and before they could re-
ceive congratulations they made their
escape on a Southern honeymoon
