A Terrible Deed

Milan, Tennessee, March 8 - Mrs. Sarah Belknap at Darden, Henderson County, last night crept into the sleeping room of her two daughters, Mary and Ella, and cut their throats and then cut her own. The tragedy was not discovered until this morning. A physician was immediately summoned and the woman revived for a short time, but finally expired, giving no reason for her terrible act. The children are dead.
