He met her near the reur door of their little home, whore thoy had lived umtiy years, ami commenced u libra iii i ng her for the absence. She replied somewhat sharply and started into tho hmiho.

The fattier br utally kicked the little fellow from his mother's side to tho ground, a distanco of several feet. Then ho deliberately lighted a match and bent over hid dying wife to see if tho shots had been fatal. Apparently sati.-iied on that point he went i'ltc. the small front room of the house and placing the weapon uiulor the left eye tired a third timo.

Tho father of each, and other relatives and fr iends, came to Ashland as soon as notified that they had been found. Then followed a long, earnest and general free-for-all debate.
