Four Dead Following Quarrel Over Wagon

MISHAWAKA (Ind.), July 11. -

Four persons were dead to-day, the aftermath of an argument over repair of a farm wagon.

An argument arose between Joseph Hanak, 45, and his brother, George, 50, as to which would repair a wagon. Joseph apparently became insane with anger. He seized a shotgun, shot and killed his brother, then his own wife, Mrs. Joseph Hanak, 43, then his nephew, Stephen Hanak, 19, and finally turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
