BROTHER-IN-LAW.
A young man by the name of Mur-
about five or six years ago, when
they moved to Cumberland, killed
his sister's husband last night in a
family mix-up. The trouble grew out
of the fact that the young man’s sis-
ter and her husband were not getting
along amicably, and she finaly left
her husband and went home to live
with her mother. Yesterday the hus-
band went to the pace where his wife
was stopping and endeavored to re-
new his claims upon his wife. She ob-

part. The latter siezed a beer bottle
and hit his brother-in-law on the head
which caused instant death.

THE MAYOR'S. HOUSE
FIRED INTO LAST NIGHT
Due to what is supposed to be poor
aiming, Mayor Gress and wife are
to-day without injury from the inci-
dent about to be stated. At 1 o’clock
this morning they were aroused from
sleep by the crash of breaking win-
.| dow glass and the thud of something
falling in their room. On investiga-
tion they found a bullet lying n the
floor of their bedroom and going down
stairs, they discovered that the large
plate glass of one of their front win-
dows had been broken.
These alarming results were occa-
sioned by some one’s shooting appar-
ently at the room where they were
sleeping, as they had a light burning,
but owing to a misdirected aim, the
bullet passed through the first story
window diagonally and up through
the second story floor and up against
the ceiling, whence the force of the
death dealing little
spent, and it fell to the floor.
