FATAL ACCIDENT

ALEX ORR SHOOTS HIMSELF THROUGH HEAD, DYING INSTANTLY

    According to advices received from Pioche, Alexander ORR, an old and 
respected citizen of that town, shot himself through the head Monday 
last, dying instantly.  The details of the lamentable affair received up 
to the time of going to press are very meager but the general belief 
seems to be that the shooting was accidental.
    Mr. ORR was night policeman of Pioche, having been in that position 
for some months.  He was one of the old and most respected citizens of 
the county of Lincoln.  So far as is known he had no troubles which 
would lead him to suicide and was not addicted to the use of liquor.
    His wife and daughter were visiting in Los Angeles at the time of 
the accident and hurried to Pioche upon receiving the news.  Beside the 
wife and daughter, the surviving members of the family are William E. 
ORR, county clerk of Lincoln county and another son, Roy ORR.
