Shot.

ton Is the latest form of suicide in

years, Tilted in love, went to his room

letters, prepared to commit suicide.
He fired a bullet from a revolver and
fell dead on the floor. The bullet,
however, did not touch him.
Chuha, it is said, had been in love
with Sabo Josifika and Lizzie Negy,
both of Rankin. He visited one of the
girls this morning. Returning to his
boarding house here, he wrote a fare
well letter to Sabo Josifika. enclosing
ring she had given him. To Lizzie
Negy and his father and mother he
sent farewell letters. Then, according
to appearances, he stood in his room
and pointed a revolver at his head.
His eyes bulged in fear and his mouth
gaped. He pulled the trigger. A re-
port followed and Chuha dropped to
the floor, dead.
During the afternoon persons at the
house went to Chuha's room to see
why he didn't come to dinner. He
was found dead with the revolver in
his right hand. In the revolver was
some imprisoned smoke. Deputy Cor.
