      ten o'clock Frank P. Gould shot and instantly killed his wife,
      Mrs. Ella M. Gould, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. A.
      Rulison, in this city. As many of our readers know, Gould and

      Gould, accompanied by her three young children, coming to
      Burlingame. A week or two after Mrs. Gould's arrival in this

      to see his wife at the residence of her mother with a view, it
      is thought, of bringing about a reconciliation, between them.
      The shooting occurred at about ten o'clock in the forenoon in
      the dining room at Mrs. Rulison's home. The weapon used was an
      American bulldog revolver of thirty eight caliber,. Two shots
      were fired, striking the unfortunate victim in the left side,
      one of the balls passing through the heart from which death
      occurred instantly. After the shooting Gould went to the
      Shepart House, entering the hotel office with the revolver
      still in his hand. Mr. Collins, Captain Delemater, W. D.
      Canfield and P. A. Sutton were in the office, to whom Gould
      remarked that he had "killed his wife." Mr. Delamater at once
      took possession of the revolver and Gould was placed under
      arrest. He made no effort to escape and offered no resistance
      when arrested. His preliminary examination took place before
      Justice Chambers and he was committed to jail, the officers
      conveying him to Lyndon Monday afternoon. The funeral of Mrs.
      Gould took place yesterday afternoon from the Methodist Church,
      the remains being buried in the Burlingame Cemetery. The
      funeral services were conducted by A. W. Lawrence, who
      delivered a most impressive sermon to a large congreation of
      sympathizing friends.

      names and ages being as follows; Millie, aged seven years,

      several brothers and sisters are also left to mourn the death
      of Mrs. Gould and to them, and the three innocent children, the
      sincere sympathy of our citizens will be freely given. Our
      community is greatly shocked in consequence of this very sad
      event. Nothing of this character has ever before occurred in
      Burlingame and to those of our citizens who have for years been
      intimately acquainted with Frank Goud this terrible act of his
      seems like a dream. it will not be denied that he dearly loved
