Makes Farmer Angry And He Shoots His Wife And Himself.
    Calvin E. Wade, a prominent farmer of Chenango County, N. Y.. shot and fatally wounded his wife and then killed himself. He had been vainly trying to drive a hog through a gate and had chased it about until he was out of breath and out of temper. Finally he ran into the house and got his gun, declaring he would kill the animal. His wife laughed at him. Quick as a flash he whirled about and fired at her. She dropped as if dead. Wade then placed the nozzle of the gun to his own head and with the other barrel killed himself. His wife died shortly afterward.
