He Game Back with Bullet Wound in His
Own Body and Will Die-The Mur-
dered Girl Was Pound By a
Searching Party.

Lincoln, ILL.,, July 15.-Roy Sutton is
under arrest, charged with numbering
his sweetheart, LeOna Elmere of Ma
son City, last night. Sutton, it is alleged,
shot the girl twice, then fired bullet
through his own body. He will probably
die. Miss Elmeres parents objected to
Sutton as prospective son-in-law.
Last night he took the girl out driving,
and came back alone at midnight, and
reported having shot himself. A search
ing party soon afterwards found Miss
Elmere's body at a cemetery west of
this city. 1t is generally believed that
Sutton killed the girl because she re-
fused to marry him. Sutton served in
the army during the war with Spain.
