Appleton City, Mo., Feb. 15.—For love ofa girl John Cluck shot and killed Rolla Smiley and then sent a ballet into his own brain to-day at Rockville. Cluck will die. The killing occurred at the home of fair one for whose hand both the youths were suitors. They had been paying constant. at- the rivalry between them was note whit lessened because of an old grudge. The climax came when they met to day at the Maddox home. After some heated words, they agreed to fight out their differences with weap- ons. Smiley not being armed, said he would go for a revolver. When he left the house Cluck shot him. The ball passed through the heart and Smiley sank tothe ground dead. Cluck, seeing what he had done, seized the girl in his arme, implanted & kiss upon her lips, and fired @ shot into his own brain. The ball entered into his right eye, passed through his head and came out over the leftear. He fell at the feet of the girl, who was in hysterics | when help came. Both the young men were about !20 years old and always had borne | goad reputations.
