Show With a Heavy Kevolver. Gainesville, Tex., July 17. Martin Erwin, aged .10 years, of this city, this afternoon shot himself through the head with a 45-ealiber Smith & Wesson, Wes-son, with suicidal intent. Business failure and domestic troubles are thought to have been the cause. He has been conducting a retail drug store here for some time, which belonged to bis wife and which was closed up by assignment last week. He is not dead at this writing, but can not possibly live many hours longer. The ball entered the forehead, ranged downward, coming com-ing out at the throat. The shooting occurred at his home on North Dixon street. |
