MYSTERY IN DEATH OF GIRL
Ella Boldenow, Is Years Old, Shot in
Home at Bloomfield.
BELIEVED TO BE CASE OF SUICIDE
Girl Had Been ReprimRnded and
Uncle Dismissed from Place
shortly Before Body Is
Found.

BLOOMFIELD, Neb., June 1~o.-(special)
Ella Boldenow, the 15-year-old daughter
of H. F. Boldenow, a farmer near here,
was found dead with a bullet hole in her
head and an empty revolver lying by her
side. While her death is generally thought
to be the result of suicide there are cir
c~umstances which nave thrown a mystery
about the case and the ~coroner's jury,
which met today, has not attempted to
say who fired the shot that killed her,
While the parents and brothers of Ella
were doing their chores about the farm
in the early morning the smallest child,
about 8 years old, ran out to the barn
and informed the parents that Ella was
lying on the floor.
The parents both rushed to the house
and found the girl dead on the floor, with
a bullet hole in her forehead and a 3S-
CALDER revolver lying by her side. No
apparent cause can be given by the par
ents for the act of the girl.
Girl Had Been rimande
The coroner was Immediately ummone
and after holding an inquest, at which
members Of the family were as
witnesses, 1t developed that the girl had
been reprimanded the day before by her
father for being too intimate with an uncle
who was boarding at the Boldenow home
and the uncle was told to quit the place
The girl, 1t was also stated by witnesses
appeared at breakfast apparently happy.
as usual but 1t was noticed that she
had red marks on her throat and a bruised
eye.
When asked where she got those marks
the girl answered she did not know. After
breakfast the parents, thinking no more
about the matter, went to the barn and the
boys to the field and the girl was not
seen again until s o'clock, an hour later
when her body was found.
C~Oroner's Jury in Doubt.
The coroner's jury postponed its session
until a post norton examination was made
and a verdict was rendered as follows:
The deceased came to her death as a
result of a bullet wound fired from a re-
volver by a person or persons unknown
The question now is, Was it suicide or
murder? AS no one is suspected of the
crime 1t may be some time before any
light can be thrown on the subject.
