Shot but not Seriously Injured

fWllloughby. o., March G.--Lafay-
cite Martin, of Kirkland, two miles
south OF here, shot his wife twice and
then blew off his own head yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Martin is expected
to recover.
Martin. who was about sixty had
been a farmer in Kirkland, but for a
time had done little bnt hunt. He
could be seen almost any day trudg-
ing cross-country with his shotgun,
looking for what small game the
region affords.
This and many quarrels led to a
separation, and for three months he
and Mrs. Martin had lived apart.
Mrs. Martin brought suit for di-
vorce and went To live with her
daughter, Mrs. McGregor, In whose
home, Martin found her yesterday
afternoon.
1t was about 2 o'clock when Mrs.
McGregor saw her father approach
ing the house, his shotgun under his
arm as usual His coming she took
as bad omen. for there was more

Martin appeared TO he certain that

raped but once. then tried the door,
then threw himself against II In an
effort TO break 1t from It's hinges.
BY this time the two women were
frightened. They took to their heels
and had barely got out the back door
when the front door broke down un-
der Martins assaults.
Martin ran through the house, saw
his wife starting to cross field, and
fired twice as she looked back. The
charges struck her In the face and
neck, but did not make serious
wounds. He stopped to reload and
then set out In pursuit of his daugh-
ter. His delay gave her a handicap
which he could not overcome, and
soon he gave up the chase to go back
To the house.
There, in The back yard, he put the
muzzle of the shotgun to his head
and pulled the trigger.
