TWO MURDERED BY
MAD MAN, WHO SUICIDES
Two Women Are Killed BY Insanely
Jealous Suitor, Who Then
Takes His Own Life.

Aberdeen, Wash, Nov. IS. - Two
women were murdered by an insanely
jealous suitor, who then wounded
supposed rival and committed suicide,
according to an account of the triple
tragedy made public today by Sheriff
Gibson, of Copalis Beach, 20 miles
north of Aberdeen.
The sheriff pieced together the mur-
der mystery as he found, one after an
other, the bodies of the victims.
First Gibson came across the body
of Miss Taney Bolton. The girl had
fought desperately for her life, accord
ing to mute evidence. Her body lay on
the beach, shot in the back and mutt
lated.
A few minutes later, in a nearby
cabin, Gibson found the body of Mrs.
]. T. O'Brien. She apparently had been
dragged from bed and shot through
the heart.
Following the murder trail from one
little cabin to another in the group al
Copalis Beach, the sheriff came upon
the body Of Hjalmar Anderson. One
fist clutched an old service revolver
With the other hand the dead mar
still clung to a bloody pocketknife.
