LOVE AND POVERTY.
Country Youth and Maiden Seek Sui
eide for Relief.

eide for Relief.
Leavenworth, Kas., Aug, 31.-The
mystery of the National hotel tragedy
has been cleared, away when detec-
tives came here to care for the young
girl in her dying moments and to take
away the dead body of the man with
whom she sought to die. The girl is
still alive but. has not regained con-
seriousness and cannot live. The story
reveals one of love, poverty and seek
ing of death to overcome troubles that
were by no means serious.
John Hartig, the dead man, was but
q years Of age, the son of father
who lives at Connor's station. Mary
Bush, barely 10 years of age and
quite pretty, was the daughter of
poor section hand who works on the
Missouri Pacific at Pomeroy. The
country youth and maiden had met
and loved, but when they proposed
marriage the girls father objected.
Young Hartig was without money.
From developments it is evident that
the young lovers discussed their pow
erty, the parental opposition to their
marriage, and what seemed preferable
to life.
Their journey to this city Friday
night and the tragedy which will I'M
doubtedly result IN the loss Of both
lives, was the result.
