Sibley Sept. 5.-A terrible tragedy
occurred ir, the little village of Bige-
low, Mimi, eight miles north OF SID
ley, at about 5 o'clock in the evening,
when James Walsh fired a revolver
bullet in the temple OF Mrs. L. Broy-
ton, and then turned the weapon upon
himself and also fired bullet IN his
own temple. Both shots proved fatal
the man dying Instantly, and the wom-
an passing away within few minutes.
The tras edy occurred in the parlor
of the Bif,elow hotel. and from the
S-year-old daughter of Landlord Dat
ram, the only person who witnessed
the affair, it was learned that the man
first knock ed the woman down with a
bottle and then placed the muzZle of
the revolver close to her temple and
pulled the trigger. The cause OF the
rash act is not known and probably
never will be known. 1t would seem
that the murder Of the woman was
premeditated, as Walsh, who is az
butcher, asked for the loan of re-
volver 6rorn Postmaster Lane to kill a
beef, in the afternoon, but did not call
for the weapon until about Z o'clock,
making plausible excuse to the post
master. Walsh spent some time in the
saloon after supper and shortly before
5 o'clock wentsto the hotel. He, was
heard to ask Mrs. Broyton If she was
ready to take that walk, and she re-
piled that she had to prepare the lunch
for the night operator and fix some
things for breakfast, and went to the
kitchen, followed by Walsh. They re-
turned shortly to the parlor and some
words were said to have been ex-
changed, when the tragedy occurred.
The vic tim of the tragedy was a
young widow and had been teaching a
class in music and also assisting
around the hotel. The two had been
keeping Company, they having attended
the Sheldon fair together for day or
two last week.
Walsh had not resided in Bigelow
but few weeks, and not much is
known about him.
The community was greatly shocked
over the occurrence of such terrible
tragedy within the borders of the little
burg of .3igelow.

Clinton, Sept. 5.-George B. Burner
whose career added many chapters 10
Iowa's history Of crfminology, must
return to Anamosa to complete the
service of a seventeen-year sentence
i'm posed in the Clinton district court,
more than half of which remains I'M
served. Burrier was paroled lie"
months ago. Yesterday he violated
the terms of Governor Cummins' par
ole by becoming intoxicated. the
Clinton police placed him under arrest
and telegraphed to Governor Cum
minis. 1t is expected that the Iowa ex-
ecutiye will order the reincarceration OF
the former Pennington burglar at
once.
Burrier Is Man With History.
George B. Burrier is a man with
history of the undesirable sort. When
he was a boy he entered upon GRIM
inal career. by robbing the depot in MS
home town, Pennington. He was ar
rested. and served term in the PEN
itentiary. Upon his release he plunged
recklessIy into life of crime iir Iowa
and Missouri, and has served several
sentences in Anamosa and Jefferson
City prisons.
On the last day in February, in 1908,
Burrier, who is thoroughly reckless
when intoxicated, went to Lyons, a
portion of this city, and made the
rounds of half dozen residences,
breaking into the places and piliagins
and robbing at the point Of pistol. A
reign of terror was established, ana
posses of men pursued the midnight
robber, who was traced from house to
house. Next morning Burrier was ar
rested in Clinton by Officers Ed Burke,
William Dougherty and Falle Foged,
and his trial and conviction followed.
He was brought back to Clinton and
Scott counties several times to appear
against alleged members of the gang
of burglars, subsequently, arrested, and
the story of his life as told on the
witness stand in the district court was
a story. of association with thieves and
crooks, and of crime which often
placed him behind prison bars. In fact
861riota has been in Jail most Of the
time since he was Is years of age. His
acquaintance with Iowa. Nebraska and
Missouri crooks and thieves was Of
much value to the authorities of this
state in bringing to justice Rogers.
Dolan and other men now serving SEN
fences in the state prison. or recently
paroled.
Burrier as a Business Man.
Burrier was instrumental in the re-
covery of the Fay diamonds, after the
sensational robbery of c. A. Fay,
Clinton newspaper man. Upon regain
ing his liberty a few months ago, after
the governor issued his parole, L. E.
Fay procured for the Pennington man
small restaurant in Lyons, the scene
Of his wholesale burglaries, and he has
since been living the life of quiet res
taurant keeper in Lyons. Burrier is a
bright, companionable young man, and
has made many friends in this city
since coming here. His fail from grace
yesterday will no doubt place him
again behind the bars Of the Iowa
penal institution.
