David me Kills Mrs. Dolly

Himself.

PORTLAND. Ore, July 0.-David Con-
nelli, chef at the Arlington club in this city,
tonight shot to death Mrs. Dolly Sharp and
a man whose name has not yet been
learned. Connelli was pursued to his W
room. some twenty squares distant, by a
bowling mob of several hundred men and
boys. Once in his room Connelli turned
the key in the face of his pursuers and
before they could force their way in he
blew his own brains out. The cause of the
tragedy has not been ascertained, but it is
understood Connelli had been paying atten-
ton to the woman and he became maddened
with jealousy on discovering her in COM
PAM with another man.
