Glover Barometers.

The ordinary clover and all its vari-
cites, including shamrock are barome-
ters. When rain is coming the leaves
shut together like the shells of an
oyster. For a day or two before rain
comes their stems swell TO an appreci-
able extent, and stifren SO that the
leaves are horne more uprlghtly than
usual. This stem swelling when rain is
expected is a feature of many flower
ing grasses.

CHEYENNE GIRL
. SHOT BY JEALOUS
MAN, SUCCUMBS

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 2s.-Mar-
garet Grier, %, prominent Cheyenne
society girl, died this morning from
wounds received June 8, when she
school sweetheart, Samuel Under
was returning with the lieutenant
wood, who then turned the pistol
against his own breast, dying ten
minutes later.
Crazed by jealousy, following
report that Miss Grier was to become
the bride of Lieutenant A H. Con-
rad, U. S. A., is believed to have
caused Underwood to lay in wait for
the girl in front of her home as she
was returning with thel lieutenant
from a dinner party. Following the
shots, the young woman fell to the
pavement, one bullet piercing the
lung and the other her thigh. Uu-
derwood fired one shot at the army
officer before he killed himself.
The tragedy was the aftermath OF
high school days when, four years
ago, Miss Grier and Underwood were
classmates and sweethearts. The
romance was not renewed after grad
uation by the girl but Underwood
persisted in his attentions and !!
said to have been madly jealous O
Lieutenant Conrad. The lieutenan
had been granted leave of absenc,
from Fort d. A. Russell, where he !
stationed and the report was curren
in Cheyanne social circles that h
and Miss Grier were to be married.
After Miss Grier was taken to tn
hospital, physicians said there wa
hope for her recovery, but compli
cations later developed which result
4 in her death this morning.
The Young woman was the daugl
ter of William S. Grier, a wealth
lumberman of Cheyenne.
