COUNTY DIVISION AGAIN UP

Matter Of Creation Of New District to
$780,. Be Considered.
: The matter of the creation of Fallon
county must again be considered by
the commissioners of Custer county.
The petition for the new county had
been thrown out by the commission
ers on the opinion of the county at
torney that some of the signers, while
they had all the other qualifications,
were not registered voters.
The court has held that, under the
constitution, all persons who are citi-
zens, who have lived in the state and
county the required length of time,
are qualified electors whether they are
registered or not. The court also
overruled the county attorney wherein
he held those who signed the petition
or the remonstrance could withdraw
their names after the commissioners
had set a date for a hearing. The
matter has been before the court for
some time and now must have another
hearing before the county commits
sinners

Mrs. Mary Schneider, wife of Mich

two miles east of Dotyyille, killed her
three children and herself, using a
razor and butcher knife as weapons.
The children We're John, five years

Florence, two years old.
When last seen alive Mrs. Schneider
was occupying chair in the kitchen
of her home, holding her boy John in
her lap.
Her sister-in-law, Ida Schneider, who
has been her companion, left the house
on an errand. On returning some min

Not finding Mrs. Schneider or the
children in adjoining rooms she went
out doors again and still finding no
trace of them went to the upper cham
bers.

bedroom a CHASTITY sight met her gaze.

was in the bed and a butcher knife lay
by the side of the woman.
Miss Schneider made an effort to re-
vive the victims, but life was extinct.
She then rang the farm bell and
summoned the husband of the dead
woman from field quarter of a
mile away.
Mrs. Schneider had been i'll for about
a week and had expressed fear lest
she might become insane.
From appearances it would seem
that John, who was awake at the time
Of the crime, was placed between two
sheets and his head severed with the
razor. The other two children EVIL
