SHOOTING DONE BY RUSSIAN
WHO SEEMS TO HAVE
FEARED ROBBERS.
VICTIM RECENT BRIDE
SHOOTER EXPECTED TO sURREN-
DER TO AUTHORITIES AT
STERLING.

Denver.-A News special from Tiff,
Logan county, Friday night says: Mrs.
Henry Tucker, bride of two months.
was shot and killed and her husband
shot in the face tonight by Karl Tscr-
arch. a Russian. who suspected that
they were robbers.
Grief-stricken when he ascertained
the mistake he had made, Tscharch
fled. Cowboys are now searching for
him. His wife believes that he has
gone into Sterling to give himself up.
Tucker had been putting up hay on
the Tobin ranch. owned by Mrs. NJ. C..
Herr!ngton of Denver. Needing another
man. he went with his wife to the Rus
slams shanty on the Edward Bennett
ranch, shortly after sunset tonight.
They raped on the door. Tscharch
asked who was there. Apparently he
did not hear their reply. for he, threw
open the door of his shanty and emp
tied both barrels Of his shotgun. Mrs.
fuckers head was blown off Scatter
ing shot wounded Tucker.
Tscharch. when he found what he
had done. left his wife and children in
the shanty and hurried to the Powell
and Dillon ranch. There he explained
to Lee koontz and John Mccarthy that
he had 5000 in cash In his shanty and
mistook the fuckers for robbers.
Tscharch asked the men to go back
with him. On the road to the shanty
they met Mrs. Tscharch and her four
children. Tscharch stopped with them
while Koontz and Mccarthy went on
to the shanty. While they were gone
Tscharch disappeared. His wife. in
broken English. said that he had gone
into Sterling to surrender, but the cow
boys. when they heard of the killing.
started in pursuit Of the Russian.
Tucker was found by Koontz and Nc
Carthy kneeling by the body Of his
wife. unmindful of his own wounds.
Mrs. Turcker was the daughter Of
John Hammell of Sterling.
Tscharch Is a renter on the Bennett
ranch. He had sold his beet crop and
other products for 5000 In cash. which
he kept in the shanty In which he lived.
He has been fearful for some weeks
that It was known that he had the mon
ey and that he would be robbed.

Diamonds Burn Like Coal.

The jeweler. at closing time. was
putting his diamonds in a huge safe.
But why do you bother to do that
when two watchmen walk the shop
all night long?"
"on account OF fire." the jeweler re-
piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal
-carbon-they burn beautifully. Their
hardness makes us think them inde-
strucuble. but, as a matter OF fact. a
fire OF diamonds would be the briskest.
prettest thing in the world. Put a
handful of diamonds on n plate and set
light to them. They will burn with

left There will be no smoke. no 500
