Miner Kills Himself
Inflamed With Jealousy He First Sought For His Wife
Chehalis,Wash.Nove 4-(Special)-Arthur Holland,a coal miner,26 years 
old,committed suicide in the O.K. lodging house at 11 o'clock this morning by 
shooting himself through the head with a revolver.Holland went to work on the 
morning shift at Miller Bros' Mine,a half mile from town,but only worked a 
couple hours,when he came out,and ,neeting the owners of the mine,he extended 
and bade him good bye.Mr.Miller was surprised and asked him what had 
happened,he replied that nothing had happened,but something would as soom as 
he got to town.
Holland took a short cut over the hill,and as soon as he left Miller,believing 
there was something wrong with him,came to town on a bicycle and notified the 
marshal,asking him to watch him.The marshal went to the lodging house which is 
run by Holland's wife,but could not find him.Mrs.Holland was also out of the 
house at the time.Very soon after the marshal left,Holland appeared and went 
into the office of the lodging house and shot himself through the head with a 
revolver.
Jealousy is said to have been the cause and circumstances indicate that if he 
had met his wife he would have killed her ,too.
