X Mrs. Harry Moore a Suicide. Nevada, Mo., Nov. 30.—Mrs. H. C. Moore, wife of Colonel Moore, & wealthy merchant, was found drown- ed Jn Lake Park, owned by her hus- band. She was not missed until about 6 o’clock, when Mr. Moore and daughter got ready to go to supper. After looking and making inquiries for her, 16 was learned that she had taken a car for Lake Park about 4 o'clock. Searching parties immediately went to the lake and there found her hat on a board near the bathhouse. Mrs. Moore's body was in the lake. She had fastened a rope around one of her arme and tied the other end to 8 spring board, presumably to keep from sinking. Then, it is supposed, she jumped {nto the water. She was one of Nevada’s most cheerful women and no reason can be given for her act unless {¢ was ill health aroused to Prosperity.
