-nediate!y in rear OF Miller & pierce;s oruS-

hafnast 10 o'clock pistol-shot was heard IN
his room. The ladies OF the house, rightly
.nnnosing that something dreadful had nap
ncned, rushed INTO the drugstore ana IN.

ri the occurrence. he went 10 the second

Iiccman Charter ran to the house ana enter
ed RommcfS room.
Rommel was on his bed. with ms coat on.
His vest was on fire, and the revolver from
which the shot had been fired was on the
yiudow-Sill near at hand.
Romme! at once st;ted that he had shot
himself. and that he had bought his weapon-
an army revolver-for that purpose, and
that once before he had attempted to relieve
bimScl; Of 4 life that had become unbearable
"a him. He was evidently under The infln-
ence OF hGuor, and it was has. design in
sncakinr to the officers to impress upon
them that his wife was the cause OF all the
trouble. He said that he wanted to see
his son. but hoped his wife would not
be allowed TO come to see him while he
Gved. and when be was dead that she should
not touch his coffin. He appeared deSirous
10 die: and the wound in his breast, in the
region Of the heart, indicated that his wishes
would probably be gratihed. Nevertheless
the officers summoned doctor. DR.. Ross
was found, and for seyerc' hours stayed ut
the mans bedside, doing all that was poSsi-
bic TO relieve him. At II O'Clock last night
Rommel was still living, but DR.. Ross
thought that the bullet had entered the
lungs. and that the chances were against his
recovery.
The woman whom he had so abused was
bv his side. tenderly nursing him and show
ing that her old-time love was not entirely
extinct. When Policeman Charter went to
her place--a little store. No. 405 west

pened, she and her daughter and son, With
out moments delay, FASTENED to RommeFs
bedside. 1t appears that she had. been twice
married to Rommel. His misconduct caused
her-to obtain divorce. Promising to live
better lie, she married him again. But
Rommel was 4 ne'er- r-do-well and liquor was
his banc. and the second separation took
place, since which time Mrs. Rommel has
been supporting herself and children.
Rommel is about forty-tiye Years Of age.
All Of the furniture in his room is not worth
i've dollars, and he has evidently been poor
and miserable.
The name is put down in the City Di-
rectory as Rommer, but the officers at the
