Young Man Shoots Himself.

Luther Welsh, young man who
lives at Kearneysville, caused some
thing of a sensation there last Sunday
afternoon by shooting himself with a
rife. The story goes that Welsh, who
is % years old. was in love with a
young lady OF that place, but she did
not reciprocate his affection. Last
week he is said to have written her
note in which he stated that unless
he had a favorable answer within three
days he would kill himself The time
was up Sunday afternoon, and not
having heard from her. Welsh got a
22-calbre rife and went TO the quarry
lot a short distance east of the viii
lage. He held the life at arms length
in front Of him and pulled the trigger.
The bullet pierced his stomach and he
fell TO the ground. He was found ly-
ing there a short time afterward and
DR.. Burwell was quickly summoned
from Shepherdstown. On his advice
the young man was taken to the City
Hospital in Martinsburg. DR.. Gate
performed an operation, and though tn
bullet was not found, it was discovered
| that the intestines had not been per-
forated and Welsh has a fair chance
to get well. Latest reports from the
| hospital are that he is doing very we'll
1t is generally believed that younc
Welsh's mind is affected. Several
years ago one Of his brothers shot ant
killed himself at G. W. Hoffman's place
near Kearneysville.
