PEER FOUND SHOT DEAD

Family Dogged

By Tragedy

Viscount Lambton, son and heir of the Earl of Durham, was found shot, dead on the lawn in front of the family residence of Fenton House, near Wool- er, Northumberland. He was 20.

Lord Lambton had recently re-| tumed to Fenton from London, where he had a town house in Gloucester Gate. He left this about 18 months ago to live in the country. He registered re- cently for military service.

Tragedy has dogged the Lamb- ton family through many genera- tions. Within the last four years, three of its members have met untimely deaths.

Beatrix, Countess of Durham died in April, 1937, on the day her grand-daughter, Lady Rachel Douglas-Home,
