MRS. BILLIARDS DEED
FORMER MONTGOMERY WOMAN
 TRIED TO SLAY HERSELF.
Steambont Engineer at Pensacola Suc- cumbs to drophObfa-Mecting of Board of Pilot Com-
 missiOners Is Held.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug 7-(Special. )- Mrs. Annie Bullard, ls years of age, daughter of A. Storey. formerly resident of Montgomery, Ala, yester- day morning tried to commit suicide at the home of her father on the bay shore, few miles from the city. by placing a revolver to her left breast and pull ing the trigger. She had intended that the ball should cut through her trou- bled heart, but a Reflection caused the bullet to miss the vital organ and plough its way through, emerging at the back. The lady's death is moment arily expected. A short time after the shot had been fired. she gave birth to a child. and this told the whole story.
 Mfr Storey talked with The Adver- tiser correspondent this morning con- corning the sad affair. His story. told amid his great pressure of grief, was 8 sad one. Some months ago, he said, as long back as a year ago, he resided in Montgomery, later moving over to Eiba, Ala. There his daughter met and thought she loved a worthless man named Bullard. She married him with out the consent of her parents. MT Storey, very soon finding out that Bull lard was not the sort of man his daughter should have for a husband. moved away from Elba, going down to Opp, Ala. There misfortune again over took the family. A big sawmill at that point was burned down and possessions of MT. Storey went up in smoke He is contractor by trade.
 Anxious that his daughter should not meet the detested man, Bullard. MT. Storey finally made up his mind to leave the State of Alabama altogether, and he made his way to Pensacola. talk ing up his residence in the suburbs. For a long time Bullard did not know the address of his wife, but finally he did succeed in finding it out, and came here He was with his wife. and despite parental protests the girl went with him while he was in the cty. Sud denly he took his departure and has never been heard from since. His ad dress would be welcomed by the father of the girl right now.
 Saturday, Mrs. Bullard, for that is the name she has assumed, developed a se- were illness and a doctor was sum- moned. The father had no suspicion of the cause of illness. neither did the girl When the doctor told her, how ever, that she was soon to become mother. she was almost crazed. The doctor left and the girl quietly made her way into room by herself, Loaded the pistol and made the rash q 2mpt to end her troubles by means of 2 pull let The defiection of the bullet by hairs breadth saved her life at the time, but she will hardly recover.
 Mir Storey said that many of his rel atives resided in Montgomery, and that he wished the truth of the affair print
