Another Murder in Grundy County

There was a report on the streets yesterday that a resident of Grundy county had killed his wife and afterwards had attempted to kill himself. The story is that the man had accused his wife of being too intimate with a preacher, and in the quarrel which followed the crime was committed. We were unable to get any further particulars and give the story simply as we have heard it.
