Two Husbands Boozed Then Firing Sparks Local Tragedy
In Mound City Illinois on a January Sunday morning an elderly man Dr W H Hodgson from Marion brought a young woman to a cottage. A dispute arose with a younger man named Hammons who shot Hodgson twice. Hodgson's condition is precarious. Hammons was arrested and the woman claims she was formerly married to Hammons and later to Hodgson at Sandoval. Also nearby reports say Crawfordsville Indiana seeks 100000 ties for an electric railway to Indianapolis with work to start when weather allows. Paris France notes Jean de Reszke denies Metropolitan Opera offer but may consider it.
