Walter Cronin, a bartender at the
Gem saloon, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by his wife shortly after
6 O'Clock Friday night. The shooting
took place in the kitchen Of the
couples home near the courthouse,
and was the result Of a quarrel of a
trivial nature. A woman friend named
Mrs. Davis was in the house ut the
time, hut when she heard the couple
%quarreling she stepped outside the
door. Finally, upon hearing the
angry tones of Mrs. Cronin, she re.
turned, stepping into the kitchen as

her husbands head. She put up her
arm to stop the r~age-crazed woman,
who at that moment pulled the trig-
ger, and the uplifted arm fell with a
bullet track through it. Mrs. Davis
uttered a scream, and cried to Mrs.
Cronin.
"See what you have done to me-"
"That's nothing to what | nm going
to do to him. Watch me-"
There was a fash, a report, and
Cronin sank to the floor, dead. The
bullet from the wife's revolver tore
through the neck Of the man, sever

Tramps Attempt to Murder Brakeman.

At Battle Mountain last week o
dastardly attempt was made upon the
life of brakeman w. H. Cohee by
three tramps who had been refused a
free ride and had been elected from
beneath the rods by the brakeman.
When the train stopped at Battle
Mountain Cohee got off to change the
switch. 1t was about 3 o'clock in the
morning and as he walked down the
length of the train he noticed the
three men hid underneath one of the
cars He ordered them to come out
and quit the train. For reply they
advised him to go back to the caboose
and leave them alone and threatened
him with bodily injury if he disturb
ed them. But the brakeman was not
to be dissuaded from doing his duty.
He reached under the car and pulled
one OF the men out by the leg. The
other two quickly vacated their roost
and came out. 1t was about time to
start the train and the brakeman
signaled 40 X, go ahead" Just as
the train started one of the tramps
dealt the brakeman a terrific blow ON
the temple. As he fell from the blow
he shouted loudly for help. ]. A..
Crosby. another train man, came in
answer to the summons. He saw
the struggle and also heard one of the
tramps say:
"Put the s--u under the train"
Crosby quickly hurried to the
scene and upon his approach the cow
ardly fends desisted from their work
and made away quickiy.--Silyer State.

early Saturday morning the three died
in succession, the last one, Joseph,
passing away yesterday afternoon. For
weeks the home had been quarantined

to the patients. Several times it seem
ed as though the sufferers had passed
the crisis. but early on Saturday morn
ing Mary died, to be followed twenty
four hours later by Edward. Two more
were left, Joseph, and Roman, aged 7.
Both were in the shadow of death and
hopes were entertained that they could
be saved, but Monday afternoon, Jo-
seph, too, passed away. Since then Ro-
man has improved and is thought to
be out of danger.
The three children will be buried to-
gether this afternoon at the West
Hammond cemetery.

years ago After the parents deatt
