Winnie Scott, a woman of red
light fame, shot and instantly killed
herself in the Spotted Pig saloon at
Musselshell last Sunday evening
shortly after six O'Clock. The
shooting took place in room adj
Joining the saloon. the woman be-
ing alone at the time. She fired
two shots before turning the weapon
upon herself and then sent IA 80
caliber bullet thru her brain hold
ing the gun close to her right
temple, instant death following. 1t
is not quite clear why the two pre-
liminary shots were fired but it is
thought that she was unused to
handling a gun or else that she de-
sired to attract attention before
committing the deed. There were
two men in the hallway leading to
the room at the time Of the shoot
ing, who, when they heard the
shots, demanded Of the woman
what she was doing. She replied
that she was going to kill herself,
and Immediately upon that fired
the fatal shot thru her head. The
two men broke down the door and
found her lying on the floor partly
under the bed in pool Of blood.
Deputy Waldo of this place was
notified who Immediately went to
the scene of the suicide. County at
torney Ayers and coroner Attix
were also sent for and arrived there
the next day. A coroner's jury was
impanelled. the finding Of the jury
being that the woman came to her
death by her own hand. The woman
had at several previous occasions
threatened to do away with herself
and it is thought that she carried
out her threat in fit of despond-
cncy. The remains We're buried
