Mrs. Maud Kelly Shoots
Herself at Seventh and
Pennsylvania.
BUT LITTLE CHANCE
FOR HER RECOVERY
Is Said to Have Been Suffering
From An Attack of
Melancnolia.

Mrs. Maud Kelly, twenty-nine years
of age, a bride Of SIX weeks, attempted
suicide in dramatic manner this morn
ing at the corner of seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue oorthwest. She is
said TO have been slIetering from de-
spondency.
Soon after o'clock. in the presence
Of large number of persons huTrying
to their places of business, Mrs. Kelly
stepped from a building opposite Ce Iter
Market, and, taking a pistol from be-
meath her cloak, faced the crowd and
fired bullet into her body.
Failing to the ground. she writhed in
agony while women screamed and sew
eraI men ran to her assistance. A
physician was summoned and the un-
conscious woman was taken TO Emer-
gency Hospital, where it is said she
has only a bare chance to live
Mrs. Kelly's poeketbook, containing
S1.O5 and a key, was found on the
ground, but there was nothing TO give
the slightest clue 10 her identity. At
the hospital, however. she rallied suf-
ficiently to give her name. out would
advance no reason for try ing to end
her life. Her condition was so critical
that It was decided not to probe for
the bullet.
At the hotel where she was formerly
employed it was stated that she was
married six weeks ago and had been
very happy at the time over the pros
pect OF not having TO continue her
work. There is no record oe the mar
riage at the Washington bureau, but It
may have taken place in some nearby
town.
At the Metropolitan Hotel it was
learned that she had come there three
weeks ago and secured employment as
. maid. and had left last Thursday,
suffering from melanchclia
She was seen TO enter the building a
few minutes before the shooting. and
when she emerged she carried in one
hand a revolver box. In the Otffer
hand she held the weapon, the handle
wrapped with a handkerchief and con-
ceaIed by her coat. Her object in en-
tering the building evidently was TO re-
move the revolver from the box without
danger of interference.

A. E. Moore, and family returned
hoss last ThuDaay night from an e1-
tea6aa visit with relatives in Colo,
Iona,. aAd other points. Mr.. Moore
repcfts most enjoyable trip and that
al had = good time with the old folks
1t home, who were delighted to see
him after several years Of absence from
home. In speaking about the trip, Mr..
Moore said that at one time he used
10 think that Iowa was tho best state
h tho Union but after living in Colo
sado Few years he is convinced that
Iowa il all right but Colorado il in his
opinion the best State in Union bar
Hone, and that he would never be satis-
lsd to live in any other state. Mr..
Moore spoke Of the disagreeable wea-
ther in Iowa at this time Of the year
nsshing bat blizzards, rain snow and
sund combined with severe cold spells
nade him wish that he was back to ol6
Colorado, where the days are little
more mild and where Old Sol is ever
willing to show his face every day of
tie year Of course there are many back
east, that would never come out west,
int are satisfied with conditions as
they are and Mr.. Moore speaking
about this, said. "Of course there are
some that think the east is the best
place to live but I am convinced that
il they all knew the advantages OF the
western states and especially Colorado,
for making a home and enjoying the
mild climate and even weather con-
ditions Of this State, that in a few
years the east would be depopulated and
everybody would move to the west. ~
As a proof of his statement, Mr..
Moore said, that of all the people that
noved to Colorado from aroand his
old home, none wanted to go back
Hive after they had lived year in the
state, and there are many more who
have come from the eastern states and
usver regretted the step they had taken
when they choose Colorado as thei1
home.

JUST DESERTS

San Diego, Cal. Jan. l5.-Four men
were shot and killed and one was seri-
ously wounded in pitched battle near
the international line between an organi-
zed gang of cattle rustlers and vigi-
lance committee, organized at Mesa
Grande, cattle town, forty miles from
here.
The rustlcrs were trying to get into
Mexico with herd of several hundred
cattle which the had stolen. They
were located near the boundry between
the two countries and after replying
to a demand to surrender by shots
which wounded one of the vigilantes,
desperate battle followed.
Four of the rustlers, two Mexicans
an Indian and white man, were kill
ed and the remainder of the gang hed
across the line, leaving the cattle in th,
possession of the vigilantes.
Depredations have been going on in
the Mesa Grande locality for several
months and recently the cattlem"n
organized to break up the gang.
The viligantes picked up the trail OF
n band of cattle thieves who, it is
believed made away with several hun
dred head of stock near Mesa Grande
last week and followed them to a poin,
Just this side of the international line
where the rustlers were rounded up.
The ruatlers are believed to be allied
with the same gang now under arrest
in Los Angeles for horse stealing.
