FORREST CITY GIRL
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Failed to Meet Her Affianced Who
Forthwith Broke Engagement
—Grief Prompted Sui
cide.
Forrest City, Feb. 20.—Miss Nellie
Smith was found in her room at home
in this city today by her father when
he went home to dinner with a terri
ble pistol shot wound in her head,
which must have caused instant
death.
The servant last saw her about 11
o’clock, when she was writing letters.
She was the beautiful and accom
plished daughter of G. B. Smith, who
recently came here and started a
stave factory, a branch of a Paducah
(Ky.) factory.
The affair caused a profound sensa
tion. Miss Smith was the idol of a
fond father. She was in the flower of
young womanhood, being 22 years of
age, and the only solution of the trag
edy is that it was a love affair. Her
affianced passed through here going
to Hot Springs and she was to have
met him at the train, but failed to do
bo, and he broke the engagement,
which had a terrible effect on her
mind.
The remains will be shipped to
Jackson, Mich., where it is said her
mother and sisters reside. The coro
ner’s jury rendered a verdict of sui
cide, being unable to find any other
plausible solution.
