SHOT HERSELF
BY ROADSIDE
MRS. ANNA CROW OF WOOD.
WORTH SHOOTS HERSELF
NEAR THE MILL HILL OF
JAMESTOWN.

V. z
N. D., attempted suicide Saturday
morning at an early hour by shooting
herself twice through the left side
with a revolver. Mrs. Crow had
been working at the Gladstone ho-
tel for couple of dayk, and Friday
night made arrangements, with the
evident intention of putting an end
to her life. She packed her trunk
and about s a. m. started out for
what she said was a walk before
breakfast. She went south towards
the mill, and up the hill, and when
near the top, about thirty feet from
the road on the west side, she fired
two bullets into the region of her
heart. Several hours afterwards
Mrs. DuVall noticed a woman lying
on the grass and came to the city
and had Mayor Blewett called up by
phone, notifying him of the fact.
The mayor; at once took an auto.
and accompanied by Louis. Orlady
went at once to the place to see
what the trouble was. Mrs. Grow
was found lying on the grass near
the side of the road. The mayor.
asked her what the trouble was and
she replied that she had shot her
self. An examination of her clothing
showed marks of blood, and she
pointed to a small box, when asked
what she had shot herself with. On
opening the box a revolver was
found. Mrs. Crow had replaced the
weapon in the box after she had shot
herself, and was lying on the prai-
rie apparently waiting for death to
follow.
!, The two bullets went close to the
heart and were taken out later at.
J the City hospit tai, being extracted.
/ from her back
She told her acquaintances at the
hotel that she, was tired of living,
and that she had left. her husband
Oh account of his drunkenness and
,illtreatment. Mrs. Grow had only
been in Jamestown a few days, and
at the hotel not over two days. She
had made application for divorce,
her attorneys being Knauf & Knauf.
She was married at Lacrosse, Wis,
and had lived on claim south of
Woodworth.
She had remained by the roadside
from early Saturday 4, until about
1880 o'clock, when she was taken
to the hospital. Mrs. Grow is about
,25 years Of age, slightly built. but
prepossessing looking woman. Her
injuries are of such serious nature
that she is not expected to survive.
When she was raised up from the
grass to be taken to the automobile
she tainted. Her whole demeanor
and conversation was that of q per-
son anxious to escape her troubles
by ending her life.

She had not asked TO be shown, nor
even priced any article, so she might
Yet she could not even walk through

they could not get at home But how
could she do this, If she was not al

She had paused a moment to glance
at some chiffon Scarfs, which were dis
played at the veil counter. One Of
those in black would be nice for War

was afraid to go nearer to examine
them, for the saleslady had already
noticed her hesitation, and she was
waiting for her to come close enough
to make her the victim of sale.
But such hesitation was not to be
allowed, for now a flOorwalker hemmed
her in from the rear.
