Sold by Shoe Store Camp's MOUNT CARMEL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, KILLS A MAN AND TAKES HER OWN LIFE A Shocking Tragedy at Shamokin Last Night--William Klinger, of Locust Gap, Shot in the Right Temple by Lucy Doughton, of Shamokin, Who Then Turned the Gun on Herself -Betrayal Caused the Awful Grime of Murder and Suicide. One of the most shocking tragedies in Northumberland county's history occurred in Shamokin last night, when Lucy Doughton, a school girl, shot and killed William Klinger, of Locust Gap, and then shot and killed herself.

William Klinger, aged 22 or 23 years, son of George Klinger of Locust Gap, was a hoisting engineer. Yesterday he had hoisted from the mines the father of the girl who a few hours later caused his death. He had been keeping company with Miss Doughton, aged 18 years, but about three months ago his visits to Shamokin ceased. Last night Klinger boarded a freight shortly before 7:00 o'clock, and went to Shamokin, and repaired immediately to the home of his former sweetheart, on Vine street, known as "Hogan's Alley." The young man did not enter the yard, but he and the girl stood for some time talking over the fence. Lucy's mother called to her to come in the house, and she answered "All right, mother." Then the mother reentered her home.

The Shots A moment afterward the sharp report of two revolver shots rent the air, and a brother of the girl, arming himself with a shot gun, rushed out of the house to scertain the cause. Lying prostrate on the ground, the girl in the yard and the man outside of the fence, he was horrified to find the two bodies. Quickly summoning the family and a number of neighbors, a call was sent for surgeons, and an examination of the bodies was made. Klinger was found to be shot through the right temple, and the wound inflicted upon him had caused instant death. Girl Held Revolver The girl still held the revolver gripped in her dying hand.

She had shot herself through the left temple, after firing the ball that killed the man. The BALLOTS FOR THE NEXT ELECTION The election will take place on November 5th, from which it will appear that the candidates have less than two weeks in which to complete their canvass. That they are all making the best use of their time goes without saying. The ballots are unique this year in that they are smaller than has ever been known since the adoption of the present method of voting. The size of the sheet is about eight by four inches and besides the columns containing the names of the four parties for a "straight vote" there are three short columns only, giving candidates for "State Treasurer," "Prothonotary," "District Attorney," "Sheriff." Candidates for state treasurer are as follows: Republican, John O.

Sheatz; Democratic, John G. Harman; Prohibition, Matthew H. Stevenson; Socialist, Samuel Clark. Prothonotary: Wm. M.

Lloyd, Republican; I. T. C. Dissinger, Democratic. Sheriff--George E.

Stecker, Republican; Wm. Taby, Democratic. District Attorney--A. K. Deibler, Republican; Thos.

N. Burke, Democratic. Twenty-eight thousand official and twelve thousand specimen ballots will be printed.

New Era Shoe Store November 4, 1902, at Mount Carmel, matter, under act of Congress of March 3, 1879. as ONE CENT weapon was a 32-calibre revolver. It had been loaded with only two cartridges, but she had fired with such deadly accuracy that both went home. Cause No one heard the conversation between the two, and it is not known what word let the girl commit the awful act.

A letter found in the pocket of young Klinger reveals the cause. The letter, which was unsigned, stated that this was the last time she would write to him. The writer said that she could no longer conceal her shame from her mother. She pleaded with the man to come to see her. She said that she now hated him more than she had ever loved him, but she wanted a name for her baby.

She concluded by saying that it was not necessary for her to sign her name, as he would know who it was from. The letter was lengthy, but enough had been said to tell the story. A coroner's inquest will be held today. The body of the young man has been sent to his home in Locust Gap. Tried to Warn Him It has been learned that a young man in Shamokin, a friend of Klinger's, had in some way discovered that Miss Doughton intended to shoot if he came to visit her, and for this purpose had secured possession of a revolver.

The young man went to the Shamokin station last night to meet Klinger, presuming that he intended to go down on the passenger train. Instead, he had gone there on an earlier freight train and the shooting was done while the friend waited at the depot. Lucy Doughton was an exceptionally brilliant girl in her studies. She was a Sophomore in the Shamokin High School, and yesterday afternoon atended school as usual. She led her class.

She graduated at the head of the, class from the Grammar school, and ranked first at the end of the Junior year in High School. It was thought, however, that she was leading a wayward life. MINER KILLED AT RELIANCE Joe Boluta, aged thirty years, of 350 south Beech street, was killed by a fall of coal at the Reliance colliery this morning. He has been a resident of Mount Carmel for 14 years, and is survived by a wife and two children. The funeral will be held Saturday morning, interment in Holy Cross cemetery.

A CORRECTION Robert J. Manney called at our office last night and insisted that we retract the story we had yesterday, concerning the marriage of himself and Miss Annie Quinn. He objects to the "luck" feature of the story, and states that they had hired a room in the Wilmingon building for the purpose of having the ceremony performed, but there was nothing to the part that related to a former friend who had such remarkable luck after her marriage there. Hie does not deny that they were married, however. It is strange how such stories do get in the newspapers, and it isn't at all right to have levity over such a very serious matter.

If there is a joke in the article we had yesterday, Mr. Manney takes exceptions to it, and therefore this correction. Here's wishing the couple much luck, and that they won't be jollied anywhere.
