Clarence Combs, 20 years old, placed the muzzle of a 16 gauge shot gun to his left breast at 7 o'clock Sunday night and emptied a load of shot into his heart which caused instant death. He was at the Fuson home west of Stilwell when he committed the act. His parents live at Elm Grove where he was buried. A letter was found on his person which read as follows: Dear Mother, I will write you a few lines to let you know the reason of this. What Flora Fuson told me was the cause of it. Well, mother ask Flora, she will tell you.
