Hen as a Weather Profit

Hancock Record. We have undis-
putable proof that spring is coming
soon and from a reliable old hen that
was never known to make mis-
take in her life. Said hen is owned
by our village guardian of the peace
and the town well. The first of the
week she developed a decided "cluck "
and also serious objection to said
guardian of the peace to investigate a
certain section of the barn. Finally
by the use of a little strategy it was
discovered that the aforesaid old hen
had then and there under her control
a newly hatched batch of chicks that
were lively as any one could wish and
perfectly satisfied with the weather
conditions. Our weather predictions
are based on this fact as the old hen
isra very sensible one and would never
think of setting out of season.

DUE TO DOMESTIC TROUBLES
St, Paul Woman Kills Her Husband
and Herself, the Double Tragedy
Occurring on the Street.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert III. Taverna are
dead, each of a bullet wound through
the head. She shot him and then
turned the revolver on herself, dying
instantly. The tragedy occurred on a
downtown street.
Those who were closest to the dead
woman said he left her last week, not
intending to return. 1t is believed this
caused the crime They had been
married less than a year. Both were
less than thirty years old.
Mrs. Taverna halted her husband
at Seventh and Wacouta streets. He
was driving a team for 6. Somers &
Co. There was short conversation.
No one knows what was said. She
drew the revolver and shot him
through the forehead He was leaning
from his high seat talking to her.
The husband pitched from his seat
between the plunging horses. At the
report spectators started into action,
but before any one could gain the
woman's side she placed the barrel
against her right temple and pulled
the trigger. Her death was instan-
taneous.
Two bullets bored into the mans
brain. Police Surgeon Schnacke said
they were in almost the same spot,
showing the rapidity and surety with
which the woman had fired. After
shooting her husband the woman
walked few steps down Wacouta
street, away from the dying man and
rearing team, and then killed herself
The husband had left his wife once
before, according to Arthur Dunn,
who lives above their apartments
That was six or seven months ago
Then there had been a reconciliation
but there were frequent quarrels.
