MRS. ROSS A SUICIDE.
Died Instantly After Firing Shot
Through Her Heart.

Herington, March 11.-Mrs, F. d.
Ross, wife Of Rock Island con-
tiuctor, was found dead at her home
yesterday, bullet hole through her
heart and revolver lying at her
side. A coroner's inquest was held
which gave the verdict, suicide.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross were married
at Hot Springs last August. Mrs.
Ross had suffered with Ill health for
many months. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
had Just returned from a three
months trip in the south where they
had gone for her health.
The only clue to the cause OF the
suicide was q note left to her hus-
band. 1t read: II am going to die
Please don't marry again as you
were not happy with me-" 1t appears
from the note that domestic troubles
might have had some influence, but
intimate friends of Mrs. Ross say
there has been no trouble between
the couple. Her friends say that Ill
health caused her to become despond-
ent and to end her own life.
