LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

  Altoona had the sensation of a murder and suicide between half-past 5 
and 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening.  Resler Emigh shot and killed his 
eighteen year old daughter Lura and then completed the tragedy by 
placing the pistol to his head and blowing his brains out.  The cause 
of the double crime is a mystery.
