Is Believed to BE a Better
Barometer Than the
Weather Man.

Owing to the unusual mildness Of
the winter there is much specuIa-
ton particularly among country
folk, as to whether "bre'rg ground
hog will see his shadow when he
comes out on his elanual shadow
hunting tour next Sunday.
But speaking OF the superstition
of the country people as to the
ground hogs intuition, there are
millions of city folk who put their
faith in the actions of the little ro-
dent of the woods. There are hum
dreds of people here in Clarksburg
who believe implicitly that II the
grounding sees its shadow next
Sunday there will be six weeks of
winter Immediately afterward, while
they are equally certain that If 1.-THE
day is cloudy winter is sure enough
over.
In centers where weather observ-
ers are employed by the government
peopl are said to put more faith in
the ground hog than in the govern
ment expert

GRAND FORKS SCENE
OF DOUBLE TRAGEDY

Grand Forks, N. d., May 90
Jealousy was the cause of a doub-
lie tragedy here last night, when
Leonard Erickson, aged 2i, shot
and instantly killed Mrs. Jarvis
Rogers, a divorced woman, and
then sent a bullet into his own
head, which ended his life.
The shooting occurred at the
home of Mrs. Rogers. Erickson
is said to have been intimate with
Mrs. Rogers for some time. and of
late and become exceedingly jeal--
Gus, and had made several threats
at shooting. Sunday night he
went to Mrs. Rogers home and
not finding her there went into a
bedroom and took from dres-
er a revolver.
Erickson deliberately loaded
the revolver and with it in his
hand waited the return of Mrs.
Rogers. She came home about 10
O'Clock accompanied by her sis
ter-in-law and another friend.
Erickson accused her Of being un-
faithful to him and levelling the
revolver shot her through the tenn
pie. She droped dead and he turn
ed the weapon to his own temple
and pulled the trigger, ending his
life.
