Bolton, Tex., March 10 --A double
tragedy and a fire of considerable mag-
nitude interwoven was the record be-
tween the h mrs of (i and 7 oclock yes-
terday morning. Ed Bean and wife,
colored, are dead, and the Wilson &
Austin's large 2-story hardware house
has been licked up by the flames togeth
cr with the contents.
The sheriff wanted Bean on a charge
of beating his wife and chased him into
the hills near town on Tuesday evening
and there lost sight of him.
About 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning
the fire alarm was turned in for Wilson
& Austin's store, and those first on the
scene found that the back door had been
broken open. Soon af;er the alarm was
given shots were heard near the Mason-
ic hall, and the hosemen looking in the
direction saw the negro shooting his
wife with a doufil* barreled shotgun.
He fired two shots, the second one with
the muzzle against her head. Death
was instantaneous. He then took a pis-
tol and placed it against his ear, fired,
BOTPjie into the air and fell over dead.
Tiia toss on building and contents is
practically total, estimated as follows:
Stock $8000, building $5000. Insurance
$3000 on stock. ,
