MOTHER KILLS BABIES THE*I BHOOTB SELF, ON RANCH NEAR BOULDER. Hanged Two and Bhot Third. —Infant of Throo Months Found by Father, Nearly Buffocatod. Western Newspaper Union New* Service. Boulder. —Determined to die, yet un able to bear the thought of separa tion from the four of her six children whom she loved the most, Mrs. Will iam A. Nelson, 35 years old, living on a ranch two and a half miles east of here, hanged two of them with rags around their necks from the hooks in a clothes closet, tried to strangle her 3-months-old baby by knotting a cloth around its throat, shot her oldest daughter In the back and then turned the revolver on herself, sending the bullet through her heart. The father, William A. Nelson, had gone to Lafayette in the morning to deliver milk. He returned at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He found all the doors locked. He called to his wife and to his children, but not a sound came from inside the house. Puzzled, he finally broke a window and crawled in. The first thing he found as he en tered the living room was the baby, George, lying on the floor, choking, but alive. Believing it might be some prank of the other children, he called out again and then pulled open the closet door, thinking the others might be hiding from him. Two of thorn were there —hanging from the hooks, Ralph, 2 years old, and Margaret, 3 years old, both dead. Nelson rushed through the house, calling his wife. On a table he found a note: ‘‘Well, Will,” it read, ‘‘l have decid ed today to get out of the way. Take good care of Goldie and Willie. I couldn’t go and leave the little ones. Good-bye until we meet again. I want to be buried from the 14th chapter of St. John. Later It was found that passages in the gospel had been marked In the family Bible by Mrs. Nelson, as if she sought comfort and a promise for the future before she made her fatal de cision. The note told him that two of his children were still alive but his eldest daughter, Beulah, 5 years old, and his wife were not in the house. He ran to the barn and there found both dead. The girl had evidently been shot from behind as she was crossing the floor. The bullet had pierced her heart. The wife lay on her back, holding the revolver she had fired through her own breast. Nelson ran from there to the home of William Spartman, about 300 yards from his own place, where he found the two older children. ‘‘How came you here?.” he asked. “Mamma sent us over,” answered William, the elder of the two. “She asked us Just after dinner if we did not want to go a-visiting, and dressed us up and sent us over here. Sho kissed us good-bye as we went away.” The incidents have a tragic similar ity to those in the case of Mrs. Ever ett Crozier, who killed herself and her five daughters near Greeley last Jan uary.
