Social Derelict At Steptoe
Sends Bullet Through Brain
Crazed With Drink and Tired of Life On the Great White
Way, Violet Nielsen, Tenderloin Habitue, Ends
Outcast Career In Suicides Grave

A tussle then ensued for possession
of therevolver, but Violet succeeded
in reaching the gun on the dresser
first.
Ethel Morgan left the room at this
of the revolver, but Violet succeeded
the piano player that Jimmie" kill
ed herself or lee else with a
gun. The door was broken down by
Andrew Patres. and the body of the
girl was found on the floor with the
gun by her side. The Morgan woman
and William Malone. a gentleman OF
color, claimed they detected more
than one shot, and that they distinct
ly heard the shells fall on the carpet.
The disintegrating force of al.
cohol had destroyed whatever
beauty the woman once possessed
and weakened her mind. During
the last three days she seemed to be
in a jovial mood spending her spare
moments in singing, and dancing. The
deceased had been married. but had
been separated from her husband for
years. She was raised at Billings
Montana, and is survived by a moth
er, Mrs. E. Davidson.
Court Stenographer James NJ. Col
Inns motored to McGili Friday night,
with "Frenchy" Vautrin at the helm,
to hold an inquest over the remains
of the suicide for Coroner A. J. Cart
wright. Upon arriving at the smell
ter he empaneled the following jurors
to investigate the circumstances
surrounding the death of Violet Neil
son: J. G.. MAR, John ID. Ray, K.
Kerr, r. F. Hildebrand, G. c. Blair,
and R. H. C~ogsgrif. They returned
a verdict that the woman came to
her death through a gunshot wound
inflicted by her " hand.

Heart broken and weary of the
life that no longer held any attrae-
tions for her, Violet Nelson, twenty
four years OF age, made a determin-
ed and successful attempt to end her
life at the Athens saloon in Steptoe
City about 7 o'clock Friday by send
ing a bullet from a 38 automatic
revolver crashing through her brains.
The suicide had been brooding
over matters that she refused to re-
veal to her most intimate friends for
several months, and her usual genial
spirit had dimmed. Two months ago
the Nelson woman fired a shot
through the ceiling In her quarters.
and it was the belief of the occupants
of the resort that 1t was an attempt
to end a miserable existence, and
that the unfortunate lacked the
courage to discharge the weapon
again.
Ethel Morgan was conversing with
the suicide a few moments before the
tragedy occurred. Violet asked her
friend for a sheet of paper and a
lead pencil, indicating that she de-
sired to leave a farewell message.
Miss Morgan replied that she could
not comply with the request and ten
dered the downcast m a cigar
cite.
After she had lighted the pill
Violet Nelson remarked:
This is the last time you are
ever going to smoke with me-"
Don't talk SO foolish. vi, you're
full of booze"
Maybe you think I'm not going
to do it,"
Maybe you are but you're
foolish"

DEATH OF LUMDGREEM
WAS ACCIDENTAL

The sensational statements in re-
gard to the n in which Email
Landgren met his death in the east
ern part of the county are merely idle
vaporings, according to Sheriff c.. s.
Grain. VINO returned last night from
Garrison, Utah, in the county car.
where he made a thorough investiga-
tion into the circumstances surround
ing the young mans untimely end
He wal accompanied on the trip by
Deputy Sheriff George w. Jackson
and George letter, acting as chauf-
feur.
1t was reported that Email and his
brother, John A. Lundgren. common
ly known as "Dolph," became involv-
cd in a quarrel over target practice.
and that the latter had killed Email.
Another story was that "Dolph" had
struck his brother on tho head with
a rock. and that the injury had
proven fatal. There is absolutely no
truth to either of these statements.
Email and his brother were en-
gagged in shooting at a rock. and
making mind bets" on their marks
manship. They got into an argument
on some matter Of minor importance,
and the affair developed into a
wrestling match. Email vas thrown
to the ground and suffered a slight
abrasion Of the nose.
The nasal organ nad given Email
Lundgren considerable trouble in re-
cent years and he was bothered at
regular intervals with pollypus. Ere
quent operations proved unavailins
and that portion of his anatomy was
a real trouble maker.
Learning that Email had struck his
nose on a board. Dolph Lundgren
and his intimate friends applied sage
tea. hot cloths and other old fashion
ed remedies. AS the cut refused to
heal as rapidly as was expected, Email
Lundgren was removed to Garrison

II was claimed that the assault was
wilful and malicious.
Eddy says that he requested JUS
tice Cartwright to issue a warrant,
but that District Attorney Billings
~intervered and said that he would
not prosecute the charge against
Smith. 1t is Eddy's contention that
Billings advised Cartwright not to
issue a warrant.
Cartwright refused to act, accord
ing to Eddy's petition. saying that
all felony charges were first present
Ell to the prosecuting attorney, and
that he acted In matters only upon
his authority. The defendant says
that unless the district attorney Is
ordered to prosecute Smith. or a
grand Jury is called the criminal laws

approval of District Attorney Billings

In issuingsthis- appeal7to the'phtlan-
tlropy of the nation, 1t is deemed hitting
to state in brief the purposes OF the
Prisoners Relief Society; what mas
been accomplished during It's history
as an organization, and something or
its prospects, as indicated BY the IA
vor it has received. ......
The Prisoners Relief Society was
organized on June 10. 1914, and duly
incorporated under the laws of the
State of West Virginia. Its main pur-
pose provides a plan for extending

IN BAD.

It is evident that Congressman
Nicely thinks more Of the Wheeling
Register than it does the Times.-The
Fairmont Times.
Perhaps many other Fairmont peo-
Pie hold the same opinion of tho
Times. The Times gets in bad with
The people OF FaIrmont so often It is
not surprising that Congressman Nee.
~ expresses his feelings for the local
organ in such forceful manner.
1t will be recalled that not many
years back the Times was one of Ma
jor Neely's severest critics. and that
after an attack upon him while he was
mayor he prepared an answer which
tho Times refused ut first TO publish
but when the fighting major sent the
Times word IL 1t did not permit him to
defend himself against the uncalled
for attacks of the Times in its col,
umns, he would hire band to draw
crowd and read his opinion of the
Times from the court house steps.
This brought tho Times to its hum
BILE knees and the MAJORS reply was
published. That Is what made the Ma
jor famous.

that those without may learn OF the
causes thereof.
The trouble seems to be over the
"rrameup" for the Fairmont postOtficc,
of which the Times speaks with such
alarm and pcrplexity. Who has been
doing this framing up?" Has the
Times ''frameup" that is in danger
of being smashed or does 1t mean to
convey the information to its readers
that Congressman Nicely has been do
ing little framing up on his own
account? 1t is said that the Major has
been laying in nice supply of fine gilt
and figured moldiRg with inter boxes
and other tools to do little framing
Of his own in an Independent manner
There is certainly fine opening in the
Democratic business district for such
movement and no doubt the new shop
that the Major may open here will have
the patronage OF the rank and file of
the Democratic party as well as the
moral support OF al Republicans who
favor the disIntegration of the Demo-
cratic Office Holders Trust in Marion
county.
The Times say It has been barred by
the congressman who voices the recon-
rnendations.' What is the analysis of
this rhetortc:splurge? Does this mean
that the Congressman has closed the
bars to keep the hungry Times from
grazing in the field OF patronage, or
does it mean that the congressman re-
fuses to recognize his masters votce?'
Who should voice recommendation
for postmaster If It is not the congress
man. Is that voice to be only faint
echo OF the Boss or its it to be the audi
bic announcement OF the congressman
himself?
The Times closes its "outburst of
Everett True" with the warning to its
readers that the chances for its readers
getting first information about the Fair
mont postoffice are very slim indeed.
1t says so as follows:-
III the local situation is as interest
ing as those Of Wheeling and other
places, it will likely be fine CO reading
the Times subscriber will get frfist
hand"
Never. worry, the Times subscribers
will be blessed with the opportunity of
kaNding the news first in the West
Virginian If the morning organ cannot
get It to them.

WHAT LINCOLN. SAID.

There is u great deal Of discussion as
to whether or not Lincoln said that he
did not know much about the tariff
but he did know that il we buy our
manufactured goods IN this country
we have the goods and the money too
while the American laboring man gets
the benefit, but II we buy our maaufac-
tured goods abroad. we get the goods
while the foreign manufacturer gets
the money and the cheap labor of Eu-
rope Is favored.
1t doesn't matter so much whether
Lincoln said this or not, 1t Is true Mr.,
Lincoln was a man Of rugged common
sense and it sounds very much like
his sound logic, although many now
deny that they gave utterance to any
such expression.

You might think that a fat woman
would get discouraged when she picks
up a current fashion book and sees
the dressed herrings displayed on ev'
cry page. But she doesn't. She Sc
lects costume worn by one of the

because she knows that no matter
how the costume will look on her she
will be in style.
No automobile is us bad as 1t smells
You can live in the same square
with princess. But she knows that
you do not belong to her circle.
Some women give their husbands
the keys to their hearts and then
change the locks.
Some men are kept so busy putting
things or until tomorrow that they
do hard days work without accom-.
p1ishing anything.
You can believe oil you hear and
get by. But IL you try to say all you
believe you are going to spend lot OF
your time in a hospital.
A girl doesn't always spend three
hours q day propelling piano player
Just because she likes music. Maybe
her calves need developing.
Virtue may be its own reward. But
good man doesn't always make
good.
The man whose head is so swelled
that he knows he leaves little to be

WHAT is M'ERclY?.

Governor Hunt, OF Arizona, commut-
ed until December 10 the death sen.
fences OF eleven murderers. He hoped
that the voters would do away With
capital punishment on election day.
but as they did not, he says the eleV'
en- men must die at once. and If pos
sible sin the public square" When
eleven men have been hurled into the
darkness of eternity together" he
says, 81 hope every single voter will
feel q personal guilt"
How about the personal guilt" OF
very voter in the shocking murder
record made by our country because
murderers are not punished? I'll
New York has, for America, a rea'
sonable murder rate-7 to the 1907
600, against 10 in San Francisco, 50
in Atlanta, 4S in Savannah, IS In
Memphis. But the rate in Berlin is
only per 100000, in Paris 4. in Lon
don less than l. The New York rate
means more than one murder day
throughout the year. London has one
about every ten days, but when muir
der occurs there the murderer is com
monty executed. The result is that
counting murdered and murderers to
gether, little more than one person
week perishes, against our seven
and eight. If we punished our muir
derers W might save 800 lives pei
year-lives more valuable than thosc
our false mercy spares.
What is mercy? Is it to let muir
derers go free and license murder;
Or is It to punish murder every time
and save in one city alone 800 lives i
year, and thousands in tn entire coun
try?-New York World. -

State Editors
MORE APPROVAL.

The idea OF the State Journal that
ten State Senator'S and thirty mem
hers of the House OF Delegates are
enough for West Virginia, seems to
be meeting with the approval Of the
press OF the state, quite generally.
The only paper we have contending
for the opposite, is the Randolph Re-
view, and that Is edited In the midst
Of darkest Democracy, SO nothing
much better could be expected OF it.
The Coal River Republican is the .lat.
est shet to endorse the State Journal
md this is the way it backs up what
seems a good idea: ..
THE Parkershurg State Journal
thinks West Virginia needs less
State Senator'S not more than ten;
end not more than thirty RcpFesen-
taives. True the expense would be
much less, and we might add, or
rather call attention to the fact that
even less than the number mention
ed by the State Journal do the bust
ness and the larger number present
only vote as directed. Men more able
and fewer OF them would no doubt get
better results. = Parkersburg State
Journal.
