INSANE MANS DEED.
After Shooting Two Women Seriously
 He Kills Himself.

Memphis, June 24-Mrs Marie Reed, wife of Dr. F. W. Reed of Big Creek, Ark, and her sister, Miss Nellie Els worth, were brought to a hospital here late today seriously wounded, while their assailant, T. F. Whitsett, a railroad em- ploye of Big Creek. is dead, the result of self-inflicted wounds.
 Other than that Whitsett had been drinking heavily and apparently, for the time, bereft of reason, the attack on Mrs. Reed and her sister was without cause so far as can be learned. According to the statement of the injured women the man entered their home early today and began shooting, one of the bullets strik- ing Mrs Reed and another her sister. Whitsett then endeavored to end his own life by cutting his throat, but did not accomplish the desired result, leaving only a jagged wound. Securing a small rifle he thrust the barrel in his mouth and with his toe pulled the trigger. the bull let entering his brain and causing al- most instant death.

MOBS FIGHT EVERYWHERE

Berlin, June 24-The Lokal Anzeiger' s special dispatch from Teheran dated Wednesday, midnight, says;
 "The pombardment here today lasted for an hour and a half. As was the case yesterday, bombs were thrown and the Cossack artillery brought up two guns and fired upon the buildings at close range The house of Zahir Ed Dowleh is in ruins, the interior being en- tirely demolished. Looters who entered the house after the bombardment smashed everything they could lay their hands on.
 The Persian soldiers were participants in the plundering and the storming of houses, the object of which in many cases, was simply to give an excuse for footing.
 Everywhere throughout the city today mobs were fighting over the plunder and the Cossacks had the hardest task to drive them out of the streets. Eventual ly the Cossacks succeeded in this and toward evening, when quiet had been partially restored, the Shah ordered the bazars to reopen, otherwise they would be bombarded.
 The diplomatic corps announces that state of siege has been proclaimed. The situation is serious for although the peo- pie hitherto have respected the Europeans it is feared that lives of foreigners will not be safe for long. Doubtless further bombardments will occur soon. Many refugees have fled to the British legation and the Shah, it is stated, is indignant that the right of asylum has been ae- corded them.

As usual, loot ing followed the bombardment, the populace helping the troops to ransacle the houses.
 "A reign of terror prevails here and it is not known how far the Shah is prepared to go in the way of violence. He is now taking steps to prevent an increase of the occasional terroristic attacks on the Cossack patrols.
