The husband then went to the woman
and pleaded with her to let bygones be
bygones, but she was firm and the
divorce proceedings will continue.

deserted her. He is at present at Mus

Mrs. o. b. Steen, wife of we'll
known mining man of the southwest,
and for some time a leader in society
at Santa Monica, where she lived at
the Arcadia, committed suicide yester-
day morning by taking morphine. For
several months Mrs. Steen has been
living at the Catalina hotel on South
Broadway.
Thursday night Mrs. Steen had left
word that she was not to be disturbed
by visitors during the morning, but
about 10 o'clock Mrs. Berger, the land
lady, became alarmed because she re-
ceived no response when she knocked
on Mrs. Stems door, and finally en-
tered the room through another door,
the front entrance being locked.
She found Mrs. Steen lying on the
bed unconscious. Help was called but
the woman could not be reused. so DR..
Bayless and Assistant Police Surgeon
Freedman were called and worked over
the unconscious woman for two hours,
hut to no avail, Mrs Steen dying at
about noon.
1t is said financial affairs have been
causing Mrs. Steen worry.
At the present time Steen can not
be located, but he was supposed to be
in San Francisco at the Palace hotel,
where he has stayed at various times
for number of years and where he
iS well known. His ten year old son,
byram, wrote to his father at this adj
dress, however, about ten days ago and
the letter was returned. and marked
by the clerk to the effect that Steen
had not been at the hotel in some time.
He is mining promoter, and has been
successful.
The only message left by Mrs. Steen
was scrawled on the back of photo
graph:
"Goodby to all those I love. I am
Just tired and feel that this old world
will just keep on without me just
the same. Goodby to my two darling
sweethearts, my Oliver and my pre-
cious boy, Byram. God forgive me-"
Little Byram Steen has been in the
Yale school for about a year and a
half. The principal refused to give
out any information regarding the lad
or his parents.
Mrs. Stems relatives live in Joplin,
Mo. An inquest will be held at
O'Clock this morning.

FIRES BULLET
THROUGH HEART
WOMAN TAKES HER OWN LIFE
IN SECLUDED GROVE
Suicide Known In Los Angeles as Mrs,
A. L. Harris-Note Written by
Her Makes Mention of a
Doctor

The body of woman later identified
as Mrs. A. L. Harris of San Francisco,
was found in a eucalyptus grove near
East Lake park yesterday morning. A
| bullet wound in the breast and re-
volver lying near the dead woman's
hand indicated suicide. .7.
The woman had been staying at the
Nadeau, and while suffering from de-
spondency brought on, it is said by an
unhappy marriage, from which di-
vorce released her. and other troubles
she had hired a buggy, driven
! to the spot which is Sc
cluded one, tied the horse to
the fence and made her way into
the field adjoining the road. with the
lap robe, which she carefully spread
out on the ground. She then lay down
and prepared to die. The body was
still warm when found. The bullet en-
tered just below the left breast and
reached the heart. She had evidently
held the muzzle of the pistol close to
her breast while in a sitting posture
and fired, falling back on the robe.
Had Many Clothes
In her room at the Nadeau were
found two trunks and a suit case
which were well filled with clothes
A business card in the suit case read
Hilbert Manufacturing company. i'm
porters, of San Francisco, and across
the end "A. L. Harris, representative"
was printed.
The womans toilet articles were scat
tered about the room and on the table
were two bottles of digitalis and half
emptied glass of whisky. On the
dresser was an old letter addressed to
Mrs. A. l.. Harris, Hotel Adams, Eddy
street, San Francisco. This was not
signed and appeared to be from a
close friend, but gave no information.
A number of letters had been torn
up and thrown on the floor. Into
such small bits had most of them been
torn that they could not be pieced out,
but one slip, larger than the others,
bore this fragment of letter.
"Our lives, the doctors and mine,
are fast growing apart. He is a bright
and noble fellow and noble physi-
clan, but in some ways very selfish.
"There are two things | hate in man
kind, one is liar and the other
bunch of sefshness."
II. Alden, one of the proprietors of
the hotel said yesterday that the wo-
man had come there, asking for room
and given her name as Mrs. Harris
and had paid for the room until March
9. She took her meals in the cafe
and spent much of her time in her
room. Thursday afternoon she order
ed livery rig, paying for 1t in advance
and telling the liveryman not to worry
If she was a little late in returning.
When Police Detective Cowan took
charge of the vehicle he gave the horse
its head and the animal trotted
straight to the Tally-Ho stables on
First street, where it was learned that
the rig had been taken out the day
before by Mrs. Harris who was stop
ping at the Nadeau.
Pistol by Body
When the body was found there was
nothing on it to show who the woman
was. In a small handbag was a
purse containing five cents, Beside
