Hays Sentinel
In the sad case of suicide of Miss COX, west of here, it was not considered  
necessary to hold an inquest.  Coroner DARBY went out to the home of  the 
deceased, but the family requested him to omit the inquest.

Mr. Cox says his Daughter did not Commit Suicide.
__________
 
But that she died a Natural Death.
__________
 
The reported case of suicide, by Miss COX, residing near Ellis, which has  
been the topic of conversation for some time past, now turns out, according to  
her father's statements, to be false.  
 
Below we publish a letter we receiv- (sic) this morning. 
 
EDITOR SENTINEL:--I wish to correct a statement contained in the "Star,"  
pertaining to the death of my daughter. 
 
I and my wife left home on Monday, for Hays.  We had to stay in Ellis  that 
night.  Mr. ENDSLY was to come in that night but did not come in till  morning, 
on account of the children coaxing him to stay.  On his arrival I  asked him 
if all were well and he said they were.  If find from my children  that Laura 
had a fit on Monday--about three hours after I left--and fell in the  yard   
On Tuesday she was not feeling well.  Wednesday she got  the breakfast, was 
taken with a fainting spell, went to her room, laid down on  the bed and died.  
The tea was given to her by her sister, and she drank  none of it.  I believe 
she died of the heart disease. 
 
Respectfully,
C. C. COX.
