Shot His Sweetheart and Killed Himself.

The quiet little village of Thur
mont formerly known as Mechanics
town. in Frederick county, Nd, was
the scene of startling tragedy about
half. past eight o'clock last Saturday
night. In the presence Of number
of persons who were walking along
the public square, Lee Weddle, aged
II, shot and sbadly wounded pretty
Nellie Eichelberger, aged l6, who
was his sweetheart, inflicted a wound
on her companion, Maud Davis, and
then killed himself.
Young Weddle was desperately in
love with Miss Eichelberger and wish
ed her to marry him, but she persist
emily refused to do so, and during the
previous week had written him note
saying she did not wish further at
tentions from him. 1t was about $50
Saturday night when Miss Eichelber-
ger and Miss Davis, who were walking
arm in arm down the street, started
to cross the square. Young Weddle
approached and addressing his ques-
ton to Miss Eichelberger asked;
Are you going with me p
No." was the prompt reply of Miss
Eichelberger, and scarcely had the
word fallen from her lips when We'd
die pulled a revolver from his pocket
and opened fire. He fred three
times in quick succession. The first
and second shots lodged in Miss Elch'
elberger's back and the third struck
Miss Davis in the arm.
When Miss Eichelberger sank to
the ground, Weddle turned the weap-
on on himself and discharged the two
remaining cartridges, both balls TAX
ing effect in his breast, inficting in
iuries from which he expired in less
than FIVE minutes on the spot where
he tell.
Miss Eichelberger was taken to a
nearby home, where her wounds were
dressed. While her injuries are BE-
rious, it is not thought they will prove
fatal.
