From the Glendive Independent, 8 November 1890, p.2 c.4 Stillwater, Special Telegram. - A double tragedy of a sensational character occurred here this evening. August Gorth, a German employed as a cooper in the Northwester brewery, murdered his wife and then committed suicide. The deed was accomplished in each case with a razor, and all the surrounding circumstances lead to the belief that both man and wife had agreed to thus put an end to their exiswtence... They had four children. (FS) |
