Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1896-12-31

An American girl committed suicide
the other day at Welmar on finding cat
that she could never be a great singer.
She might have put the remains Of ex-
istence to a better use, but on the
other hand, she may have relieved the
world Of one more mediocre artistic.
