Double Crime Committed In Outburst
of Insane Rage.

Appleton, Mimi, May 20.-John Nc
Guire, a farmer of Hegbert, sixteen
miles from this city, murdered Miss
Gertrude Kale, a school teacher, by
shooting her with a shotgun. Later
he hanged himself.
Mcclure has shown symptoms of
mental arrangement for some time
and his crime was the result of sud-
den outburst of insane rage. No 9TH
er cause can be assigned for the kill
ing of the teacher. He had not been
attentive at any time to Miss Kale
When MCGUIRE went amlck Miss
Kale fed from the house, fearing for
her life. MCGUIRE pursued her into
the road and shot her down. Then,
telling the hired man that he was go
ing to Appleton to give himself up, he
disappeared.
The sheriff at Appleton was notified,
and while on his way to Hegbert he
noticed a coat lying on a bridge. A
moment later he saw the body of Nc
Guire swinging from a rope that the
suicide had attached to a beam of the
bridge.

London, May 20-With bowed head
and solemn countenance all England
watched today the taking of the body
of it's deceased sovereign to it's last
resting place at Windsor. Edward
VII. rests now near his mother, Queen
Victoria, and his father who died two
score years ago. Today's ceremonious,
mournful pageant, that marked the
conveyance of the royal remains, was
unsurpassed in recent history, rivaling
and in some respects surprising that
which saw the laying away nine years
ago of the body of the great queen.
From Westminster hall, where the
body of the sovereign had lain in state
three days, to Paddington station and
thence through the pleasant Middlesex
country to Windsor, the route of the
funeral procession passed through
rows of somberly clad Englishmen, at
testing by their solemn demeanor the
genuine sorrow they felt for the final
passing of their king. 1t is a day of
official mourning to be sure, formally
ordered by the dignitaries of the
realm, but it is also a day of genuine,
heartfelt sorrow among the populace
In that respect it resembles more the
February day of nine years ago when
