Mrs. May King 
	Mrs. May King, wife of Porter King, of Cherry Tree, committed 
suicide on Monday morning between five and six o'clock.
Mrs. King was the mother of 5 children, the oldest being 8 or 9 years 
of age, and the youngest a infant of 7 weeks. Ever since the arrival of 
the last child, the mother has been despondent and in poor health.
The night previous to the shooting, the husband sat up all night, and 
weary with watching, he fell asleep.  Mrs. King, upon finding herself 
unguarded secured a 32 caliber revolver that was in the house, placed 
the muzzle against her right temple and fired.  Those who hurried to 
the scene of the tragedy say that death was almost instantaneous.  
The funeral service was held at the deceased's late residence today 
at 2 o'clock.  Interment was made in Cherry Tree Cemetery.
