Gun Club Has
a Good Shoot

A very satisfactory shoot OF the
Ely Gun club, several of the mem
bers participating, was held Sunday
afternoon on their new range north
east of Ely. Some ereditable scores
were made, while large number of
onlookers were present.
The shoots which are being held
at present are preseason, being par
ticipated in by but few of the
daily increasing membership of the
club The opening of the regular
season will take place on the first
Sunday in June, when a pigeon shoot
at which more than 400 birds will be
flown, will be held. Arrangements for
of NJ +. Richard, the field captain of
the organization. From that time
on. at stated intervals, regular
securing the birds are in the hands
shoots at which events will be tabu-
lated will be held.
Between the present time and the
regular opening, the range, which is
already one of the best in the state.
will be further improved by installa-
tion OF a rifle range for members who
prefer that weapon. Work was start
ed yesterday afternoon upon erection
of large revolving target with a
pit underneath for the tender who
will keep scores and renew the paint
on the target after each person has
ceased firing. II is probable that the
facilities for enjoyment of favorite
weapons will be further improved by
installation of revolver range.
The membership of the club is be-
ing largely increased and it is prob
able that this year will be the most
successful in the history of the or
ganization.

THOMAS EDISON
STOPS SUICIDE
INVENTOR PREVENTS WIFE OF
HIS SECRETARY FROM JUMP
ING FROM WINDOW.
HUSBAND SHOT HIMSELF
And She Tried to Follow Him to
Death--No Cause But Insanity is
Given For Randolph's
Ac..

West Orange, n j., Feb. l8.--John
+. Randolph, treasurer of the Edi-
son Manufacturing Company OF which
Thomas A. Edison is president. ccm.
mitted suicide today in the cellar cf
his residence, on New Valley Way, by
shooting himself in the head.
1t is believed that Mr.. Randolph was
temporarily insane, as neither in his
business nor his family affairs was
there any known cause for such an
act. This belief was given further
credence by knowledge that near
relative became mentally unbalanced
g few years ago.
Mr.. Randolph was private secretary
to Thomas A. Edison, and Mr.. Edison
was one of the first to reach his house
after his death was known.
That Mrs. Randolph did not follow
her husband to death was due to
the prompt and determined action of
Mr. Edison. When he reached the
house, Mrs Randolph was hysterical
wringing her hands and crying out
that she would kill herself. Mr.. Edi
son followed Mrs Randolph to the
second floor and came upon her as
she was about to throw herself from
second story window.
He seized the frenzied woman and
after a hard struggle succeeded in
pulling her back to place OF safety.
Several letters left by Mr.. Ran.
dolph showed the suicide to have been
deliberately planned. In one, which
was addressed to Mrs. Randolph, he
assured her that provision had been
made whereby all his property would
go to her.
The letter declared that every dol
lar of which he was possessed had
been gained honestly and by hard
work. Among other letters was one
for Mr.. Edison and also one for Mrs.
Edison.
