Room.
Leading his two children, Robert,
three years old, and Rawson, four
/ears q>ld, Into a bedroom at his home,
801 Ralne street, Seranton, Pa*
Robert Orr, thirty-seven years old;
shot and killed both and then
• killed himself. While he vaa firing
.the fourth shot his wife sought to
break Into the room.
"Keep out," shouted the husband
and be fired twice more. When the
woman entered the room the three
bodies were lying In a heap on the
floor. had been shot twice, in
each case, one bullet entered the
head just oyer the left eye and an
other pierced the heart.
Orr came home and quarreled with
hi* father-in-law, Henry Rawson. He
grabbed a convenient club and struck
Rawson over the head, beating him
to unconsciousness. Then he threw
him out into the yard. Next, the 'man
took his two children to the room on
the second floor, explaining to them
that he had something for them. A
couple of minutes later his wife heard
the reports of pistol shots, and rush
ed to the room, which was locked. It
wasn't until after the triple tragedy
had been enacted that she was able
to batter her way Into the room of
death.
The belief is that Orr had worked
himself into a frenzy of rage during
the quarrel with his father-in-law and
became crazed.

A whole family was wiped out
when Frank Grimes, aged forty-two
years, of Hlghlandtown, near Balti

wife and ten-year-old daughter, Ger
trude, and then committed suicide.
Sudden insanity is the only known
reason for the tragedy. Crimes had
been under a doctor's care fdr nerv
ousness for some time.
He was visited by Rev. Frank M.
Methodist church, who probably was
the last person to see the family alive.
As the clergyman was about to leave
the house Grimes said to him: "Pas

Spring Wheats Olve Better Results
Then Winter.
Since 1008 the federal bnrseu of
plant Industry has co-operated with
the North Dakota agricultural expert
meat station In making a series of ex
periments with cereals. This work haa
been conducted at the Wllttßtoo sub
station. Following are soma of ths
Important results of this seven year
effort:
Slrst Spring wheats have given
better results than winter wheats.
Second.—Except In the dry years,
1010 and 1011, the durum wheats have
produced higher yields thsn the com
mon spring wheats.
Third.—Kuliauka durum wheat gave
the highest average yield of all the
spring wheats tested from 1808 to
1014, incluxlve -2U.0 bushels to the acre.
Power fife wheal stood second for the
same period, producing 88.(1 bushels to
the sere.
Fourth.—The best three variettas of
oats for the seven yosrs are: Abun
dance, with nu average yield of 00.4
bushels to the sere; Mncoln, 05.9
bushels, snd Siberian, 84.8 bushsls.
These are all mldaeoenn varieties. The
late maturing varieties, such as White
nnsston and the very early varieties,
Sixty Dsy and Kherson, bav* yielded
mocb lees than the mtdseason varia
nce.
Fifth.—Rate of seeding tests with
Swedish Select oats indicate that ths
best yields are obtained by sowing
from four to six pecks to the acre.
Sixth.—The six rowed group of bar
ley has yielded better than the two
rowed group. The highest average
yield for the aevetasers, 88.0 bushels,
bss lieen producwrby the Wllllstnn
No. 170, a strain of Msnchurto barley.
