In the center. where the infantry
had been deeply fntrenched since the
commencement OF the battle. the Eng

opportunity to relieve many regiments
which had been on the advanced firing

MAN SHOOTS PARAMOUR AND
SUICIDES AT STEUBENVILLE

Special Dispatch 10 the Intellignercer.
STEUBENVILLE. O., Oct. e.
Attempted murder and suicide was
the outcome of an unholy amour be-
tween Emanuel Matansek. a croat.
and Mrs. Charles Proskowitz. a pretty
Servian woman. both OF Pittsburgh.
who spent some hours together in a
room at the Imperial hotel on Monday
afternoon and evening.
Matansek shot and fatally wounded
the woman and then shot and killed
himself. Mr.. Proskowitz is of the
opinion he did so because Mrs. Prosko-
wiz would not elope with him. Ma
tansek had wife and four children.
Mrs. Proskowitz has no children.
Mr. Proskowitz suspected his wife's
inhdelity and telephoned here last
night before the tragedy was learned
OF. to find out II his wife and Matan-
SEX were here. as he said they were
not in Pittsburgh.
Matansek's body is at the morgue.
with bullet hole on either side OF
his temple. where a bullet from A as
caliber revolver penetrated on the
( right side and came out on the left
side.
Mrs. Proskowitz. who has never
regained consciousness, Is at the CITY
hospital. with a bullet hole through
the back of the top OF her skull. The
bullet carried hairpin into her
skull and it had 20 be removed by an
operation. There is little hope of her
recovery.
The couple arrived at the hotel at
D. m. on Monday and registered as
Rosenthal. with wife. Pittsburgh. :"
After a short time they went out for a
walk. Early in the evening a sister
OF Mrs. Proskowitz. who lives at 333
South Third street. Mrs. George
Melenkovich. called at their room.
supper was sent up TO the room for
all three. After supper Mrs. Melen-
kovich went to the movies, land the
pal rwere next seen alive and chat
ting al p. m. when the porter went
up to get the dishes.
After the theater visit Mrs. Melen-
kovich returned to the hotel and AZ.
tempted TO get into the room. but
there was no response 10 her knock.
The porter came and thought he heard
snoring. which In reality was tho
groans OF Mrs. Proskowitz.
Mrs. Melenkovich was insistent on
getting into the room. so the porter
got a chair and looked IN over tho
transom and saw both Of the parties
lying on the floor. partly dressed. A
key was secured and an entrance ef-
fccted. Matansek was dead when
found and his body was sent 20 tho
moreue and Nrs Proskovlch. who
was still alive. was sent 10 the hos
pital and medical attention secured.
Maiansek was a druggist by pro
fession and was quite an attractive
appearing man. such a. would caich
