Missouri City, Mn Dee. 9. What will
undoubtedly prove to be a double mur
der was committed last night in a
country church two miles out from
this city. Miss Delia Clovenger was
shot down, mortally wounded, and her
escort to the meeting house, George
Allen, was InRtantly killed. The mur
derer wns Krnest Clovenger, a cousin
to the young womnn. The tragedy oc
curred Immediately after the congre
gation had been dismissed, as the wor
shipers were leaving the church.
Young Allen and Miss Clevenger were
walking out togetl- r, when Ernest
slipped up behind them and fired the
fatal shots. Allen was killed Instantly
and Miss Clevenger may die. The mur
derer escaped. Jealousy was the cause.

Lincoln. Neb.. Dec. 9. The decision
of the district court In declaring the
bondsmen of ex-Treasurer Joseph S,
Hartley not liable for his shortage was
reversed In an opinion rendered yes
terday by Uie supreme court. The
amount directly Involved Is $201,000,
which sum Hartley took from a state
depository hank, for which he was con
victed of embezzlement and sentenced
to the penitentiary, where he now ,1s.
indirectly the decision affects Hartley's
whole shortage of nearly $700,000, and
which it now seems probable the bonds
men will have to pay.

London, Dec. 9. Considerable public
feeling has been aroused over the case
of Lieutenant Work, of the Koyal ar
tillery, who ,vas yesterday sentenced
to death on a charge of murdering Jane
Yates, a girl of good family, by con
spiring with her to procure an abor
tion. The evidence tended to show that
the girl was solely responsible. She
made a statement before she died ex
nneratlug Work, who declares that he
did all he could to dissuade her from
my Illegal act. There was a dramatic
scene at the close of the trial when he
protested his Innocence.
