. COMMITS SUICIDE

Deary. Idaho. April 13.-One of
the most horrible suicides ever re-
corded in this vicinity was commit
ed this afternoon on the Mccoy
ranch about five miles south of this
city when Grace Dillman, the girl
wife of Jesse Dillman. who about
a year and half ago died as re-
suit of self inflicted wounds, took
her life by blowing the entire top of
her head off with shot gun.
Only meagre details of the act
have been obtained here, these be-
ing related by farm hands who
hurried to town for a physician. 1t
is said that Mrs. Dillman. who had
been employed on the Mccoy place,
secretly got possession of the gun
with which the crime was committed
and went quietly into the backyard
and there ended her life. Nothing,
it is said, had given cause for alarm
on the part of the woman's en-
ployers and nothing in her actions
during the past few days had beer
thought at all strange. The motive
for the horrible act is a complete
mystery.
The deceased is a daughter O.
Mrs. Weber who resides near here
She was married to Jesse Dillmai
when she was but IA years of age
Shortly after the marriage Dillmal
obtained employment in mine nea
Harvard and there become on yer,
intimate terms with Agnes Liner,
cook at the mines. The TRACED,
connected with Dillman and Agne
is still remembered for its horror
After Turing the woman into tn
mine the crazy man shot her
death and later when about to b
captured by the officers attempte
to end his own life by inflictin
several gun wounds in his hea
and body. AS result of the'
wounds he later died at the Mosco
hospital.
1t is thought that the despondene
which came over her as result
her husbands awful crime induce
Mrs. Dillman to take her life toda
Rev. Craig officiated at the funer
services of the deceased Tuesday
