Chenille.

81 shot myself. Bury me at
Chenille, W. Va, my old home,
is the contents of a tragic note,
written by Miss Flora Arnold
found in the room with her dead
body. The girl committed suicide
Tuesday afternoon at the home OF
her aunt, Mrs. Shocks, IN Belpre,
Ohio, by shooting herself through
the heart with 80 calibre revolver.
The small daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Shocks, on returning from
school about 3 :45 O'Clock, enter
ed the room and found Miss Arnold
lying across the bed face down.
Thinking she was asleep the child
tried to awaken her, but failed.
She then called neighbors, and DR..
Van Wrinkle and Others rushed to
the home. She was then cold IN
death and the gun with which she
shot herself was found on the floor.
First the excited crowd suspected
murder. but a little later the note
was found containing the stole mes
sage recited above, which allayed
such suspicious The note did not
give cause for the rash act, mad
was written by hand so nervous.
that it was onlv with difficulty that
its contents was read.
Coroner Athey, of Marietta was
notified of the tragedy and went to
Belpre at once. A coroner's jury
was empanelled and at $3.50 O'Clock
an inquest was held. The verdict
was that the deceased came to her
death by a bullet wound inflicted
at her own hands.
Miss Arnold was 1S years of age
Several weeks ago, accompanied BY
her mother, she moved from Glen
Vile, and it is said she was engaged
to Young man named Reese, OF
that town. Tuesday afternoon,
short time before her death, she re-
ceived a letter, and it is believed
that this letter was from Reese
though It could not be found. The
letter in all probability, whomeyer
it was from, was the cause of the
tragic act.
Several days ago the girls moth
er left Belpre for Chenille to attend
to some business matters, she hay-
ing owned property there. She
was not in Belpre Tuesday.
Apparently the girl had always
been happy and contented. She was
bright and cheerful at all times and
since her arrival in Belpre had made
many friends. She was quite pref
ty and very attractive. Her father
has been dead for some time, and
there are no sisters or brothers.
When the mother left for Glen
Vile few days ago, Miss Arnold
went to stay with her aunt, Mrs.
Shocks and expected to remain un-
til the return of her mother
There was no one in the house at
the time the shot was fired and no
one heard it from the outside. Mrs.
Shocks said that she could not ac-
count for Miss Arnold's deed of self
destruction, as when she left the
house a short while before, she APP
peared perfectly happy and content
ed. The letter had not arrived
then.

Will Be Decided Today-Will
Name Subcommittee.

The jefferson county democratic exeeu-

day in the court house for the purpose
of naming the date for the primaries for

active campaign made in behalf of an
early date for the primaries.

by candidates and their friends, and it
appeared TO be the consensus that an
early primary will be demanded by the
committee. Whether or not the commit

is not yet determined, as it may decide
to allow a subcommittee to fix the date.
The assessment to be levied against
the several candidates and the general
plan for carrying ON the primary election
will be left in the hands of a sub-com-
mittee which will be named today 1t is
expected the meeting today will last but
a short time.

there twenty-five years ago from Ohio. a
young pioneer apparently less well fitted
perhaps for success in the competition
of life in a country where water is a
luxury than most of his fellows. The
idea that now makes him a constructive
successful business man was socialistic
theory that cooperation was the only
form of industrial organization with which
he cared to haze anything to do. And
it was manufacturing that he had set his
heart on-in parched desert where, out
side of the struggling little towns, the
country did not maintain an average of
one person to the square mile. But he
said to himself. Raw material should
be manufactured where it is produced"
1t was with these two ideas maturing in
his mind that Johney Bearup-that is his

sheep until a year and a half ago he was
able to start the factory which he calls
