DOUBLE TRAGEDY NEAR HARTSELLE - Farmer Entrikin Kills His Wife and Then Commits Suicide - The Hartselle community, this county, was the scene of a fearful tragedy yesterday, the particulars of which have just reached Decatur, where the parties are well known. MR. W. G. INTRIKIN, a prominent farmer of near Hartselle, at 6:00 yesterday morning, shot his wife through the brain, killing her instantly. He then turned the pistol on himself and the ball passed through his heart, he dying almost instantly. The cause of the tragedy, so our informant learned, was that Mrs. Intrikin was subject to species of insanity, and her conduct had partially crazed the husband. Brooding over his troubles made him worse and in a period of temporary insanity, he committed the deed which made a murderer and a suicide. [NOTE: The name was spelled Entrikin and Intrikin in the same article.]
