sas, Steak in Kansas City and the girl near Cher
okee. They came here last night. This morn
ing they made some purchases of white slippers
and Grape, and when found the slippers were
on their feet and the Grape on their arms. 1t
was undoubtedly premeditated suicide, although
1t Is not known that anybody saw the act. A
small Smith & Wesson revolver with two empty
chambers and small hole in the foreheads of
the victims told the tale. The woman's head
rested on Seak's shoulders, and there were no
signs OF struggle or pain. Steak has some
friends here but the woman is a stranger. Steak
left letter to a Kansas City friend which may
throw some light on tho matter.
At the inquest this evening it was learned
that Steak has become entangled in a matrimo-
nsal alliance with woman whom he declared
unfaithful, and from whom he attempted to
procure divorce in order to marry Miss
Meyers. Failing in that he came here, where he
has lived most of his life, bringing the girl,
and they have been deliberately planning all
day means of making themselves presentable
in appearance for the funeral rites. The fatal
shots were fired in the house of friend. where
they had been staying. Letters written to
friends say they love too deeply to live apart
