The recently enacted "adult probation law' is working well ill Illinois. Under this law, the hus- band is given his choice whether to serve term in prison or sup port his wife and children. If he chooses freedom, he is put in charge of a probation cOmmis- sioner who shall see that he act ually carries out his promise to give of his earnings for the sup port of his family. It is figured that one thousand husbands and fathers in Chicago are now going about their work and contribut- ing of ftheir earnings to the sup port of their families, instead of leaving them to starve while working out their fines in jail.

east Of here, shot his brotherinlaw Vic
tor Bishop, and then turned the weapon
on himself Thompson died IN few
minutes, but Bishop Is recovering from
his wounds.
Bishop was working in field, in
company with two children and step
son, when Thompson rode up and made
the attack without warning. He fired
six shots. three of them taking effect
one IN the right->sh BOULDER, one in the
right arm and the third shot entering
the left hip. &.
Thompson then started to reload his
gun, with the intention of continuing
the fusillade, but while he was doing
this Bishop made his escape over the
creek bank. After getting his gun re-
loaded Thompson made an extended
search for his intended victim, but the
latter was hiding in the bushes and
escaped observation
After giving up the effort to find
Bishop, Thompson rode back to his own
home, tied his horse in one stall of the
barn. entered the other stall and fired
two shots into his own body. The
first shot struck a rib and glanced, but
the second bullet penetrated his heart.
