    • Terrible Tragedy At Weissenburg

      Albert Adam, Blacksmith, Kills His Wife and Shoots Himself. Inquest Will Be Held.

      A terrible tragedy occurred at Weissenberg, near New Germany, on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock when Albert Adam, blacksmith at that village shot his wife and killed himself. It appears the couple had been quarreling, their three children having been taken away from the parents some time ago and resided at the hotel at that place. The day previous he had given his wife a sum of money and yesterday he asked that the money be returned. She refused to comply with his request and he forthwith went to Guelph where he bought a revolver and returning met his wife on the road near the railway and shot her dead. He was afterwards found dead in the parlor of his home having also taken his own life. He was about 38 years old and his wife 32 years of age. The coroner from Guelph was summoned and an inquest will be held.
