ONE MORE LOVE LoRN LOON.
When Girl Chooses Rival Athens
Youth Shoots Himself.

Athens, Ga, Sept. 26.-Before the
residence Of a young girl who is al
legged to have refused him in favor of
a rival earlier in the evening, Pres
ton Arthur, a prominent young nan
Of this city, shot himself near the
heart, and is reported dying.
Accompanied by Gerdine Phelps,
another young fellow, Arthur went
to call upon Miss Grace McKinnon,
a pretty 1~S-year-old girl, who lives
on Oak street. The young men were
rivals, and agreed before the visit, it
is said, to let the girl decide between
them. Phelps remained at the
house, while Arthur soon left and
went to the business section of the
town, where he played pool for an
hour.
During the game he showed a pis-
toll, which he carried, to two chums
and la%ughingly declared he had the
the McKinnon home.
Standing by the gate before the
girls home, Arthur fired the fatal
shot. The report aroused the in
mates, and he was carried inside in
a dying condition.
Arthur had stated earlier in the
evening that If he were turned down
he would kill himself.
