About What Would Be Ordered for
Summer Season.

There has been some sunshine to-
day, a few clouds and all the tempera-
ture in the atmosphere that a sane
mortal would desire. This is baseball
weather for fair just breeze enough
to add charm to the uncertainty of the
pitchers curves and comfort to the
fans seated in the nail protruding
grandstand seats.
Yesterday was hot almost, though
as soon as the sun disappeared a cool
refreshing breeze sprang up and there
was every opportunity from that time
on until morning for sweet dreams.
Today has been fairer from every
standpoint than yesterday and tonight
will in all probability eclipse its prede-
cessor.
The mercury today was a notch high
er at two o'clock than it was yesterday
but the day has not been as humid nor
the heat as noticeable. Tomorrow, &C
cording to the forecast, will be great
day for young folks and the liverymen.

past "a hours reads as follows:

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
4 Man Crazed With jealousy Kill
ed Self and Wife.

Clutching her two-year-old baby
in her arms ard fleeing in her night
clothes from ner crazed husband,
Mrs. Minnie Rainey was shot down
in front of the grocery store kept by
the couple at l0S Bry Street, Bruins
wick, Ca, at l o'clock Sunday morn.
ing.
Catching his wife by the arm, Rain
ey 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 arous-
ed 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 from
the crazed man.
Standing by the foot of his dying
wife, Rainey put the smoking revol.
yer to his left ear and sent a ball
crashing through his brain. He fell
but few inches from his wife, and
the blood squirting from his wound
over the face and clothes Of the child.
In few minutes he was dead. The
woman was carried to the city
hospital and was barely alive Sunday
night. Death is expected any mo-
ment. Rainey was % years of age.
He married four years ago and the
couple were devoted to each other.
Three weeks ago he broke off drink
ing and soon developed signs Of IN
sanity.
He became intensely jealous and
both the mother and wife feared just
such a tragedy. Saturday night the
grocery store was kept open until
midnight. The couple had just retir-
ed to their rooms in the rear when
the mans mother, living next door.
heard the shrieks of her daughter-in-
law and rushed to the store door, she
found it locked. She could hear the
couple struggling on the inside:
Finally the door was partly opened
and the young wife, with her child,
escaped. Rainey followed a moment
later, revolver in hand.
A pathetic feature Of the tragedy
is the continued calls of the little
two-year-old boy for his father and
mother. Standing by the side Of the
coffin Sunday evening, he kissed the
face Of his dead father and bid him
goodbye wnen the corp,e was car
ried to the undertakers.

ROOSEVELT HEDGING.
He Hopes Case May Bedim the
Brownsville Affair.
Fcd,al Department of Justice About
to Open Fight for Southern Ne
oroes Before Supreme Court.

A dispatch from Washington says
Roosevelt's Department of Justice is
about to fight battle for the ne
groes of the South before the Su
preme court of the United States
that the administration hopes will
bedim the recollection Of the
Brownsville affair. Attorney Gener-
al Bonaparte has buckled on his
sword. and the skirmish is now on.
The case arises out Of an alleged
attempt Of white men Of Arkansas to
frighten negroes who were working
for the Arkansas Lumber Company,
away from their jobs. Notices were
posted warning the negroes from
continuing at work. In this connec-
ton, a half dozen white men were
convicted of violating the federal
statute, enacted just after the adop-
ton Of the thirteenth amendment to
the constitution, which makes it an
ofense to conspire, to threaten or lns
timidate any citizen in the free exer-
else of his rights.
A little more than year ago, the
Supreme court liberated, IN another
case, certain men who had been con-
victed of similar offense. With this
situation, and, it is understood, upon
orders from the president, the at
torney general, unwilling to entrust
the task to a subordinate, himself
has prepared to plead the cause OF
the colored men. In addition to his
brief, already filed with the Supreme
court, Bonaparte is expected to ar
que the case orally before the court
when it comes up in about ten days
for hearing.
ITO be free islto be wholly free, q
says Bonaparte in his brief. 1T does
not mean that a man may merely
have his personal liberties and at the
same time be hedged about by pro
, hibitions and restrictions and denied

A dispatch to The State says Mr.
Weeks closed his store about IL

to his room to retire. He was stand

shot him from the ground on the
outside. The gun used was loaded
with buck shot and several of these

The assassin got away unnoticed
and the crime was ont discovered un-
til early Sunday morning when a
light was seen burning in the room
and it was noticed that the glass in
the window had been shot out. Par
ties went up to investigate and found
Mr.. Weeks lying on the floor where
he had fallen when shot.
The crime was first discovered By
Mr.. Staley, an r. F. D. Carrier. It
was at first thought the crime might
have been committed by some one
who intended to rob Mr.. Weeks, but
this theory was soon exploded as all
his money was found intact in his
room the amount checking up with
his books. It is understood that Mr.
Weeks had had some unpleasantness
with pa rites in his neighborhood
some time ago, but SO far as the
correspondent could learn no proof
had been obtained against any one
connecting them with this crime.
Sheriff Creech and Coroner War

held the inquest behind closed doors.
It is rumored that the inquest
will bring out many interesting facts.
Mr.. Weeks was native of Claren-

for many years. He was married
and is survived by his wife and one
child. At the time of the killing
