UNKNOWN PARTIES SHOOT
TWO CAYCE NEGROES.

The homes of Leonard Will
lnms and Isaac Deering, two
Cayce negroes, were shot into
about s 80 o'clock Monday night
by unknown parties and both
negroes slightly wounded.
Although the grand jury, in
session at Hickman, is said to
have been investigating the trou-
Bile, it is not known exactly why
the negroes were thus dealt with.
1t is, however, reported that one
of the negroes accused Mrs. Jn0.
Lusk, white lady living near
the Deering negro, of stealing
stove wood, and that his accusa-
ton was resented by the Cayce
people. The negro is also re

to leave Cayce-and evidently
took too much time in getting a.

The weapons used were shot

The Deering negro was the
most severely injured, receiving
several shot in the right leg.
No "nightridsr" arrests have
yet been made.

Woman Strangles Her
l7-Year Old Daughter

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 22.-Mrs. Min.
ME Schmitz awoke her husband early
today and told him she had used his
necktie to strangle their 17-year-old
daughter, Gertrude, to death, because
she was wayward.
George, the father, removed the neck.
tie and tried vainly to revive the child.
Afterwards police arrested the wife
The tragedy grew out of the child s
fondness for companionship. She was
pretty, and had many friends. At
nights, she went with them though the
mother constantly upbraided her for it.
Last night, she and her mother had a
particularly violent quarrel on the sub
ject. The mother brooded over it; she
seemed to think the girls night life
might lead her astray.
When the child was tucked in her bad
in the early hours of the morning, the
mother crept from her room, and bound
the tie about her neck. 1t was the same
tie with which the mother herself had
tried suicide Sunday.
The father, heartbroken, today ex-
planned the tragedy on the basis of tenn
porary insanity.
"My wife did not understand Ger
tie IS desire for youthful companions, ]"
he said. "She brooded, thinking the
girl would be led wrong, I'm certain
my wife's mind gave way"
