ALWAYS CHEERFUL.
Even When He Lost Both Feet He
Could Find Consolation.

MURDER, THEN SUICIDE.
Young Wife was Shot with Baby I'm
.4.u Her Arms.

Brunswick, Ca, October 2O.-
Clutching her two-year-old baby in
her arms and fleeing in her night
clothes from her crazed husband,
Mrs. Minnie Rainey was hot down in
front Of the grocery store kept by
the couple at 108 Bay street, at 1
O'Clock this morning.
Catching his wife by the arm, Raj
ney placed the muzzle Of his revolver
IN her left eye, sending bullet
through her brain. The woman fell
on the board walk with a shrek.
The mans mother who had been
aroused by the wife's first cry for
help, reached the place in time to see
her shot down. The mother ran to
her own house, narrowly escaping
