DOUBLE TRAGEDY
ON A MONTANA RANCH

Butte, Mont. Sept. ia Billings
special to the Miner says:
A double tragedy was enacted this
afternoon upon the Bank ranch, one
mile east of Laurel, in which William
McGann, well known in this vicinity.
shot and fatally wounded his wife and
then committed suicide. The tragedy
is said to be the elimination of trou-
bles of long standing between the cou-
pie.
According to meager information im-
mediately obtainable, McGann, who
has for, some time been away from
home, returned today, went to the
ranch. and after war of words With
his Wife, drew Il revolver and shot her
three time in the head. Attracted by
the shooting, neighbors rushed to the
place, only to be warned by Mccain
to keep away from the house, under
threats Of being killed.
The people surrounded the place in
order to prevent the escape of the muir
derer and it was only a few moments
later that another shot rang out. and
1t was found that Mccain had taken
his own life.
Mccain had been arrested II short
time ago on the charge OF beating his
wife.
1t is rumored here that the Difficult
ties which occurred between Mccain
and his wife We're caused by jealousy
on the part of the husband, who
claimed that his wife was too fond Of
the attention of other men.
