tlmw after the Poachlna retired.
An alarm clock had been set to
awaken Peachln at 4:0, so that he

then she began shooting.
Wossaa Fire six Shots.
Six shots were fired, two going wild,
one wounding Peachln's hand and two.
It Is believed, striking blm In the head.
Wounds appear in the face and In the
back of the head, but tr. Fred Ztegler

one of tbem was mode by the egress of
the bullet which entered at the other
side. The last shot Mrs. Peachln turned
upoa herself. Inflicting a wound In the
bret.st from which she died Immedi
ately. Te parenta of Mrs. Peachln rushed

City, within whose Jurisdiction the
shooting occurred, took charge of the
wonian'a body.
