Suicide of NJ. Il. Allen.

Sunday afternoon the people of
Tonopah were startled by the an
nouncement that Merrett K. Allen
had committed suicide by shooting.
Upon repairing to Mr.. Aliens home
on Summit street his body was found
lying across u bed in one of the
rooms, 32-calibre revolver in his
right hand and small bullet hole in
the right temple from which the
blood was fast flowing lie was ex-
tinct, and death must have been
instantaneous.
Mrs. Allen, wife of deceased, in
relating what few particulars she
knew of the tragedy, says that her
husband was accustomed to moody
spells, and when in such frame of
mind would drink heavily On Sun
day forenoon he was unusually de-
spondent and threatened to take his
life. Mrs. Allen gave the matter no
Concern until in the afternoon about
1 o clock, when her husband informed
her that he had taken "a bottle of
laudenum. She at once FASTENED for
assistance, and Doctors keene and
Chittenden hurried to the house and
were about to apply antidotes, when
Mr. Allen informed them that he had
not taken any of the drug, and as his
condition bore out the statement, the
doctors left Mr.. and Mrs. Allen alone
in the room Mrs. Allen says that
at this point in the affair she left
Mr. Allen for moment to 90 into
another room where some friends
were gathered, that she might in
form them that Mr.. Allen had not
taken any of the deadly opiate, and
it was during this momentary alb
sence that she heard the pistol shot,
and upon Fastening to the room found
her husband dying. He left note
to her, written in such nervous
scrawl that but little of it could be
deciphered. The coroner's verdict
was suicide
The remains were taken in charge
by the A. O. IT, W, of which order
deceased was a member. The funeral
services were held at Butler Hall
and were largely attended by our
citizens.
If Merrett Allen has solved the
mystery and knows what there is in
lifes problem beyond the closed
grave, let US hope that his rash act
will not alter the destiny of his
future, and may the same infinite
power that leads his soul in its fur
Their fight, soothe the aching hearts
of loved ones left behind.

CORONATION TRIP OFF
Hiss Roosevelt viii Not See King
Edward VII Crowned.

Washington. March S.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt will not attend tho corona
ton Of King Edward VII. next June.
While this is not officially announced,
1t is admitted at the White House to
be true. The canceling Of Miss Roose-
velt's plans to participate in the coro-
nation is said to be the result Of the
adverse criticism that has come from
all parts OF the country upon the un-
Official announcement OF the proposed
visit. Many persons did not hesitate
to express their displeasure that the
daughter Of the president Of the Ameri-
can republic by attending the corona
tion Of king. should give sanction to
such form Of government.
1t was learned last night that an.
other reason why Miss Roosevelt will
not attend the coronation of King Ed.
ward is because 1t has been found to
be practically impossible for her to 60
simply as a young American girl trav-
cling privately in the household of
Special Ambassador Reid. 1t was
learned that London court circles
were considering seriously the Ques.
tion OF the status she would occupy
in all coronation functions. When
Miss Roosevelt's status became a mat.
ter Of international discussion the
president first considered the advisa.
bility Of canceling the visit. but not
until 1t was found that An invitation
to visit the Emperor and Empress Of
Germany was on the way to America
was It decided that in view of the ex.
treme youth Of Miss Roosevelt and
the international conditions az we'll as
courtesies she would be called on to
meet. the English visit and all its de-
lights would have to be relinQuished.
