day last week, on the headwaters or

pounds "hog dressed," and had as fine a
coat of fur as one would wish to see, bo
ing jet black. The bear had been iu
trouble before, for one of his fore legs
was missing from the elbow down, no
doubt caused by being mixed up with a
trap of some kind, and bad evidently
chewed its own leg off. The wound had
healed perfectly, and didn't seem to
bothei him much, as be could give the

MKIIhKS WIFE THEN M'HIi'KX.
L'onanl M. Johnson Snoots II In young
Wife, And Thm Knds His Own
Existence.
About noon yesterday this community
was shocked and thrown imo a stale ol
excitement by the report that a murder,
cold blooded and deliberate, had bron
committed iu Green township, this coun
ty, and thataynung wife bad fallen victim
to the bullet of an Insanely jealous hus
band. Later in the day it developed that
the tragedy pioveM to be one or those
double terrors so common to this day and
generation.
The story is not a long one.
Leonard M. Johnson shot ami killed
bis wife, and then sent a bullet crashing
through his own brain.
Ab nit throe years ago Johnson metand
married Emma Viola Cousins, while the
young lady was visiting relatives In Mer
cer county. For a lime, it seems, all
went well and tho couple lived happily
together. A year or more ago an es
trangement seeinod ' to grow between
them. They separated, tho woman com
ing to this section, making her home
with her unci? and aunt Mr. and Mrs.
Orlando Longst retb, w hose home Is Seat
ed near the road leading from Nebraska
to (iolinzi, about two miles from the lat
ter place. It was bore the tragedy took
place yeslerday. Monday evening John
son came up on the train from New Cas
tie, where was einplyed, aud Liveryman
Canliold took him to Nebraska. From
there he walked to the home of his wile's
aunt, Mrs. Elmer Fitzgerald, a short dis
tance beyond where his wife was staying,
where he stayed all night. It appears bo
talked considerably about his domestic
troubles while there, ai d left sometime
In the forenoon. Shortly before eleven
o'clock be appeared at the Longstreth
homo and was admitted by Mrs. Long
si roth, shaking bands with her as be en
tered the house. His wife was in the
room engaged in sewing. He approached
and shook hands with her and passed
some pleasant remarks, and, Mrs. Long
streth says, stepped back, drew a revol
ver and shot at his wife. Tho first shot
missed ber aud she started to run for the
bedroom. The second shot struck the
woman in the shoulder, and the third
crashed through her brain from the back
of tho bead. She sank to the floor and
died instantly. This was done in an in
stant, and Mrs. Longstreth does not
know whether or not she or Johnson, ran
out or tho house first.
Neighbors were quickly aroused, but
nothing was done to apprehend the man
until Sheriff Noblit was summoned by
telephone. In company with ex-Sheritl'
Jainieson he arrived on the scene altout
3 o'clock, and the tracks or Johnson were
followed toward Golin.a by an old road
through the woods. About a hair mile
from iho Longstreth house, down over a
bill, not far from the railroad along Big
Coon creek, the men came upon the life
less body of Johnson. He had run all
the way to where be was found. Beside
him lay a 32 calibre revidver with one
chamber empty, also an empty ounce
bottle labeled laudanum, the label bear
ing tho name of Griffith's drug store, Oil
City. In tho dead man's forehead, just
over the left eye was a bullet hole. This
told the Btory. There was no evidonce of
a struggle, and it is believed death was
instantaneous.
The body was taken to shelter and
Coroner Dr. Morrow was sent for, and
was up last uight and looked the situa
tion over, deeming an inquest unneces
sary. Johnson was aged about 30 yeais, was
reputed to be a man of considerable
Intelligence. It is said his parents reside
uear Fredonia, Mercer county, and be
had been employed in the tin mills at
New C.istle for some limo. Jealousy aud
failure to persuade his wife to live with
him is assigned as the motive for this
terrible deed.
The victim was aged about 21 years. She
was a grand-daughter of the late William
Lotigsti eth, and Lor father died when she
was but a child. Her mother, Mrs. Cous
ins was afterward married to our towns
mnn, George B. Armstrong, aud died in
Tionesta about 13 years ago.
It is evident that Johnson bad planned
fie tragedy by providing himself with
sufficient laudanum to end his lifo in
case the revolver should fail him. He
bad also reloaded the weapon after shoot
ing his wife, for all the chambers were
full except the ore he had emptied into
his own brain. He had probably drunk
the contents of the bottle before bo shot
himself.
During last summer, while slaying in
this section, the couple had some domes
tic trouble, the wife having b m arrested
for assault and battery, but the ease was
dropped before it came to an issue in our
courts.
