Grows had recently been very destructive to his corn. Friday morning he loaded a shot-gun. and hiding himself behind a fenoe awaited till a flock of birds alighted. He fired both barrels. He heard a scream, and saw his wife rushing toward him, mangled with shot. She was walking through the oorri, and quite conoealed from view. She rushed to him and fell dying IQ-his arms.
