MRS. RYDER
KILLED IN HOME
Man Emptied Twelve Rifle Shots
into the Ryder Cottage on
Their Homestead

Wednesday p. F. Ryder. auditor Of the
Imperial Lumber Company in this terri
tory. received q telegram to come to Chr
nook at once rs his mother was dangerous
ly i'll. He took the first train for Chinook.
but was Mortified on his arrival to learn
that his aged mother had been shot and
killed in their cottage on homestead. q
few miles out of Chinook. Particulars re-
garding the tragedy are few. but they are to
the effect that man went out to the Ryder
homestead Wednesday evening and emptied
the magazine of rife into the building.
and the aged lady inside was killed by one
of the balls.
Undertaken C. E. Peterson received a
message Yesterday morning to come to
Chinook and prepare the body for shipment
east.
Mr.. Ryder and his mother made their
home in Glasgow for several years. until a
few months ago. when they secured q
homestead in the vicinity of Chinook and
moved to that place to reside on the claim.
Both Mr.. Ryder and his mother are highly
respected here and those who are acquaint.
ed with his mother cannot conceive how
anyone but an insane person could commit
such an offense against lady Of her age
and congenial temperament.
LATER-C. f. Peterson returned this
morning from Chinook and we learned the
particulars about as are above stated, ex.
cept that the man proved to be a strangel
to the Ryder family and didn't know who
lived in the house. The only explanation
he could give for the crime was that he left
Chinook in an intoxicated condition and as
he reached the Ryder homestead acted on
the impulse of the moment to fill the prem.
ises full of lead. He shot several times a,
a water barrel by the house and then pro-
ceeded to shoot out the windows. 1t is
supposed that Mrs. Ryder heard the shots
and came to the upstairs window just in
time to receive one of the bullets. She ev.
identity ran down stairs when wounded,
and as she was shot through the heart she
collapsed at the foot of the stairs. VIM.
Ryder, who was working in the field. heard
the shots and hurried to the house just in
time to see the man throw his rife on the
ground. jump on his horse and ride away.
When he went into the house his mother
was dead.-Valley County News.
