Made desperate by unrequited love, Ora
Green, OF Newry, aged about thirty years,
shot and killed Beulah F. York, aged
fifteen years, at the home of Miss York
recently. He then turned his rifle on
himself and fred. He fell dead on the
floor beside Miss York. Young Green
had been living at the York home for
several months. His attentions to Miss
York were not looked upon favorabIy by
the young girls parents, and Miss York
also failed to reciprocate Green's affections
for her. few weeks ago the affair came
to climax and young Green was ordered
from the house by The girls parents. 1t
was supposed by the Yorks that this
would end the matter. They had not the
slightest cause to forebode the awful
tragedy, and it came like a thuDderbolt
from clear sky. Young Green borrowed
his step fat hers rife. He then jumped
on his bicycle and rode direct to the
York home. He went at once into the
house, where he found Miss York with
her mother. He raised his rifle, aimed
directly at Miss York and shot her dead.
Then he turned the rifle ON himself and
blew off his own head.
