NEVER HIDE UNDER THE BED

A blood-curdling murder occurred at Wells, MN on Wednesday.

Henry Ringer, owner of a meat market was stabbed to death with a huge butcher knife by a man in his employ named Korr.

Briefly told, Ringer suspecting improper relations between Korr and his wife, came home clandestinely and secreted himself under the bed. He was discovered by Korr, who supposed him to be a burglar and killed him instantly.

It is a sad state of affairs in which a wife's infidelity seems to have been the cause.
