JUVENILE LOVE AND MURDER
There is reported from Kieff (says a Router's advice from St. Petersburg) a tragedy resulting from the youthful precocity unfortunately so prevalent in Russia. A 15-year"old boy at the Commercial School, named Larinoff, fell in love with a schoolgirl named Shokin, and insistently urged her to marry him. Colonel Glukhovtzeff, a great friond of the girl's family, seems to have persuaded her to dismiss the infatuated lioy, who thereupon became convinced that the colonel was his rival for the girl's affection. He went to the colonel's. House, and, after upbraiding him for hie treachery, stabbed him to death with a ,'dagger. Then he proceeded to the home of Miss Shokin, and killed her with the same weapon after she had finally refused to listen to his suit. He fled the house, but the police were soon on his track, and came up with him, in a suburban street. Seeing that arrest was inevitable, the boy murderer pulled out a revolver and shot himeelf, falling dead on the spot.
