DEAD BY GUNSH0T
MRS. ROY DIVALL OF THIS CITY
FOUND DEAD LAST FRIDAY
DUE TO WORRY.

Mrs. Roy DiVall Of East Oak street
this city was found in dying condition
in her home about $50 o'clock last
Friday morning The terrible dis
cOvery was made by Will Smith driv-
er for the Barnett concern, who lives

Mrs. Smith heard loud report in the
DiVall rooms and going in found Mrs.
DiVall on the floor with a shot gun
wound through the body at the heart
Mrs. DiVall died almost instantly
Mrs. DiValI had evidently placed the
butt Of the gun against the bottom of
a door. She then pulled the trigger
with single. The charge entered
near the heart. Mr.. Smith notified the
neighbOrs and a message was sent to
Mr.. DiVall who was employed in the
country at carpenter work.
No motive is known for the act eX
cept that Mrs. DiVall had been ailing
for several weeks and had had sink
ing spells. 1t is also said that Mrs.
DiVall had been afflicted with spinal
meningitis and symptoms Of another
attack caused her great worry. She
had said that she did not wish to be
a helpless invalid and a charge on her
husband.
Mrs. DiValPs maiden name was Pearl
Frye. She was born in Dry Hollow, on
Platte, and was about 20 years of age
at the time of her death. She married
Roy DiVall last May. Surviving are
her husband and two brothers and four
sisters. The deceased was a popular
woman of estimable qualities and the
relatives have the sympathy of all in
their sad afflicition.
The funeral was held from the Con-
gregational church at one-thirty
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Burial at
Hillside

OCTOBER COOLEST
MONTH ON RECORD

The official report Of the state wea-
Their bureau says that the October
just past was the coolest and clOudiest
on record. The average number Of
clear days for the state was only five
and some stations reported none at
all. The highest temperature of IS
degrees was at Mt Horeb on the 9Th;
the lowest of degrees at Mansion,
Juneau county, on the 31st. The aver
age monthly precipitation was 3.27
inches with a high of at Waukesha
and low OF As inches at Florence,
Florence county. 2.10 inches fell at
Park Falls, Price county on the 18th.
The weather was unfavOrable for
agriculture. The heavy snow fall
checked, to some extent, the freezing
Of potatoes and other crops remain
ing in the field. In most places, how
ever, the snow remained on ground
only a few days, and near the close
Of the month there was a general and
hard freeze which caused further
damage to potatoes, cabbage, and
truck. Some corn deteriorated in the
field before being placed in silos; and
as a result there is considerable COM
plant of shortage of feed for cattle
At the end Of the month there was
much blowing to be done and many
potatoes remained in the ground.
