She Kills Herself With a Pistol Without
Warning Her Friends.

HoUsToN, TEXAS, January 3.-To-
night the body OF Miss Matte Ar
mold was brought here from Chenango,
a few miles south, for burial. This
morning, while at breakfast, the family
heard the shot of pistol in the young
lady's room, and the father fastened
there and found his daughter writhing
in the agony OF death shot through the
temple with a pistol ball, and the
weapon still grasped In her right hand.
The parents seem to have no idea Of
the cause, but friends believe that a
love affair is at the bottom of IL. She
was 20 years OF age and quite beauti-
ful, and of the highest responsibility.
