Gruesome Tragedy.

Aberdeen, s. D., July 6.-An entire
family of three and lad from Aber
deed were murdered at farm home
IN the town of Rudolph, ten miles
south of here. The dead:
j. w. Christy, aged Sc, grain buyer
shot while milking and then his skull
crushed with a hammer
Mrs. Christy, his wife, aged 60, shot
after she ran out upon the porch OF
the house at the sound Of the other
shooting, bullet entering her breast
from a gun held against her body
Mildred Christy, aged 18, attacked
as she came from her bedroom Her
night-dress was torn from her and she
was shot in the head and thrown back
upon her bed.
Michael Roanaye, aged IA, was sho,
in the barn beside Mr.. Christy and
his skull crushed with a hammer
Robbery was evidently the motive
Mr.. Christy was a grain buyer for
the Van Dussn Elevator Company, OF
Minneapolis, and at times had as
much as $1,000 in the house. The
is not known to have gained any,
thing.
1t is supposed that the murderer
sneaked upon the farm from q bor.
dering wheat field, intending to rob
Christy, but when he found the boy
present he had to kill him to hide his
guilt and then, the men out of the
way, he made his attack on the house
In the house he reloaded his re,
volver, dropping the shells of a Al
caliber gun on the floor and leaving
the hammer In the barn. These are
the only clues.
Christy had no known enemies and
has lived here for many years. The

Messina, July 2.-Six months after
the devastating earthquake of Dec. 2S,

killed 100000 people, Messina and
Reggie were again visited by an
earthquake which, had they been built

quakes came at 1920 and 1925 in
the morning, and were similar to the
fatal disturbances of December, be-

noises that added to the terror of
that fateful night.
Flee In Terror.
The population again fed in fear,
and cries of terror rent the air. The

MARRIED AND DIVORCED
The Sauk County Court House Wit.
nesses Strange Proceed
ings

In circuit court Tuesday forenoon,
before Judge E. Ray Stevens,a divorce
was granted to Mrs. John Fancher
from Mr.. Fancher, who lives at Prairie
du Sac. The couple who are, each in
their 69th year were married little
more than two years ago in the court
house, but lived together but IA
months, since which time Mrs. Fan
cher made her home in North Free
dom. She was the widow of r. B.
Carpenter previous to her marriage to
Mr.. Fancher, and has several adult
sons and daughters. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Fancher had each started divorce
proceedings but when his case came
up for trial his attorneys asked dis
missal of the suit as the parties had
agreed to permit Mrs. Fancher's suit
for divorce to go to trial uncontested,
and accordingly she was granted
divorce on the grounds of non-support,
her testimony being to the effect that
Mr.. Fancher owned home and sever
al lots, had money in the bank and
drew pension of $27 per month; but
had contributed only $12 to her sup
port since their marriage. The couple
left the courtroom without the ex-
change of look or word. Mrs. Fanch-
er was accompanied by her daughter,
Mrs. Bauer. He had several friends
with him.
Mr.. Fancher was urged to withdraw
his suit and not contest the suit In
stituted by his wife, in return for
which she agreed to ask no alimony or
share in his property. With the di-
vorce granted in her favor she may be
able to secure renewal of her soldiers
pension as the widow of Mr.. Carpen
ter, otherwise, as divorced woman
receiving alimony from Mr.. Fancher
she could not receive pension
