A Ghastly Sight

Abilene, Texas, January 29 - T. A. B. McDougall returned home this afternoon at 5:30 o'clock from his work. On entering the house he was horrified to find his wife dead upon the floor. Blood stood in great pools about her. But little investigation of the surrounding was required to show that she had taken her own life. She had shot herself with a pistol, the ball entering the right ear. The supposition is that she secured the pistol from the house of Mr. Hilton while the family were absent and that she committed the act about 2 or 3 o'clock in a fit of insanity, ti which she has been subject for the past few weeks. Her 3 month old babe was found in a cradle in the adjoining room and seemed to have been carefully placed there. Mrs. McDougall had dressed herself neatly and apparently had deliberately committed the deed. She was about 30 years old.
