ATTEMPTSMURDER;
THEN KILLS SELF.
Watts Contractor, Failing to
Shoot Wife, Fires Charge Into
His Own Head
SLIGHTLY WOUNDS OFFICER
Dispute with Spouse Over Drink

with Fatal Results
SLIGHTLY WOUNDS OFFICER

Christopher Taple, a contracting car
penter living at Watts, committed sui
eide yesterday morning in his home by
shooting himself in the head after
making an unsuccessful attempt to
murder his wife and Deputy Constable
J. 7. Whaley. Mrs. Taple escaped in
jury, while the officer received part of
a scattering charge of bird shot in his
face.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning Mrs. Taple informed her hus-
band that she intended leaving him,
owing to his uncomfortable appetite for
liquor. Without a moments hesitation
Taple rushed into an adjoining ROOM
When his wife saw him reach for a
shotgun she fled out the front door,
The enraged man followed and dis
charged the contents of both barrels of
the gun at his wife, but she had COW
cred considerable ground before he
pulled the trigger, and the shot scat
tered harmlessly.
Deputy Whaley was attracted to the
scene by the shrieks of the woman and
sounds of the gun. When he ap-
preached the gate leading to the Taple
house, Taple, who had reloaded the
shotgun, fired the contents of one bar
rel at the officer, without hitting him.
Whaley drew his revolver and fired
two shots, the first going wide of its
mark and the second hitting the would
be murderer in the groin.
With shrek of pain, Taple raised
his gun, and taking hasty aim, fired
again at the officer. About fifty feet of
space was between them, and but a
small part of the load entered Wha1ey's
face.
Throwing aside the empty shotgun,
Taple rushed into his house, and hard
ly had he slammed the door when the

charge of gun. Entering cautiously,
they found the contractor lying dead
on the floor. He had turned the muzzle
of another shotgun toward himself and
pulled both triggers. The entire right
side of his face and top of the head
were shattered.
The people of Watts we're greatly ex-
cited over the affair, and somebody
phoned Sheriff Hammel that a double
murder had been committed. The sher-
iff, accompanied by Deputies Lipps.
Wright and Alexander, made a hurried
ride to the scene, but found their SER
vices were not needed. Sheriff Hammel
found fully loaded revolver in the
hallway of the Taple residence, the
weapon having been recently purchased
by Taple.
Coroner Hartwell took charge of the
body and will hold an inquest this
morning. 1t is believed that Taple
meant to give battle to the officers, but
turned the gun on himself, being un-
able to stand the severe pain caused by
his wounds.
Mrs. Taple took refuge at the home
of Levi Burger, neighbor, and did not
go near her home until after the ar
rival of the officers. The Taples had
no children. The deceased was about
As years old and was in comfortable
circumstances having recently received
a legacy from England, according to
report.

A Cold Wave in August.

This month of August, 1910 -,
will doubtless'pass into history as
the coolest August on record. To
begin with, the temperature the
first half of the month was kept
much lower than usual by contin-
ued heavy rains. Old Sol got busy
in good shape for few days last
week, but was just getting started
when that justly celebrated cold
wave landed. That was really
some cold wave, believe us. The
whole country felt it, the average
fall in the temperature being about
40 degrees. In the northwest
states there was frost and ice, with
the temperature as low as 20 de-
grees above zero. Here the mer-
curry lowered perilously near the
frost limit on Friday and Satur-
day mornings. Think of that, in
August,
By Sunday the cold had lost its
grip. and shirt-sleeves came back
into fashion; however, the effects
of the wave are still felt, and it is
likely that we will have no more
really hot weather.
