A Sad Death.

One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred in Brownsville in
many a day was that of little Nettie,
one of the twin daughters of Mrs,
and Mrs. B. T.. Thomas, of Run
which occurred last Saturday night
The parents started from home
Saturday morning to bring the
other twin, little Lottie, who had
been sick for two weeks, to Browns
Vile for medical treatment. When
the family reached Harrington, lit
tie Nettie was in the best of health,
romping and playing with her
brother over the platform at the
depot. About eight O'Clock she
was taken sick, and although all
was done that was possible, the
death angel lowered near and al Z
O'Clock Saturday the spirit of lit
tie Nettie winged its fight to Him
who said" Suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom OF
heaven. =" The little girl was a
lovely child, and with her twin
sister was the light of the home;
just beginning to take notice OF
the wonderful world which she
had frightened for one short year
and thirteen days, the maker Gull

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Corporal Thorpe. Of Company K. Fort
Brown. Shoots Woman and Then
Kills Himself.

This morning about $50 o clock,
two pistol shots rang out in the
vicinity of the county Jail. Inves-
tigation revealed the dead body of
Corporal Thorp, of Co. K, Fort
Brown, lying in the street, and a
few feet away a woman named
Librada, who is well known around
town, was found with a pistol
wound in the left breast just above
the heart, which may prove fatal.
Genaro Padr6n, who with two
other women. was walking down
the street with the I.ibrada wo-
man, was wounded in the leg by
the same bullet that entered the
breast of the wounded woman. The
soldier then placed the muzzle of
the gun in his own mouth and fir
ed, the bullet penetrating the brain
and lodging beneath the scalp on
top of the head. Death was almost
instantaneous. 1t is not known
exactly what the trouble was about,
but witnesses testified that Thorp
followed the women from a dance
near the post last night, and when
block beyond the Jail he called
to the Librada woman, and she
stepped of the sidewalk into the
ditch beside the walk and asked
what was wanted. The soldier re-
piled that he wanted to see her.
Librada replied that she wanted
nothing. to do with him, where
upon the soldier produced a pistol
and fired two shots which did the
work mentioned above. Doubtless
thinking he had killed the woman
Thorpe then proceeded 10 finish
his work by putting a bullet
through his own head. Reports
say there had been trouble a few
days ago, and the shooting last
night was the outcome. THE HER
AID is unable 10 learn whether or
not Corporal Thorpe had expressed
any intention of committing the
fatal deed, or became angered by
the woman's refusal to talk to him,
and fred the fatal shots in the heat
of passion.
l An inquest was held last night
by Judge GavitO sitting as coroner,
and verdict was rendered in ac-
cordance with the above.
Corporal Thorpe enlisted in
Chicago where his people reside,
and was about "a years old. The
remains are at the Brownsville
Undertaking company's establish
ment awaiting instructions from
his relatives. If no instructions
are received the body will be laid
TO rest in the National cemetery.
