The tragedy occurred at 11 o'clock Thursday night, when Underwood waylaid Miss Grier and Lieut. A. H Conard, Fifteenth United States Cav alry, Fort Runsell, while they were re- turning to Miss Grier’s home from a dinner. Underwood shot Miss Grier in the back, and is assumed to have attempted to shoot Conard, and as the latter advanced upon him sent a bul let through his own body, just over the heart. The shooting took place in front of the Grier residence. Under- wood died a few minutes later as he was lifted from an automobile at a hospital. Attending surgeons stated this mérn- ing that Migs Grier had an excellent chance for recovery. One bullet passed entirely through her body from the back, puncturing the right lung; another is imbedded in her thigh.

As Miss Grier and Conard started across the street toward the Grier res. idence, Underwood, who was unknown to Conard. appeared on the opposite about the street center. Miss Grier did not notice him and Conard paid no atten- tion to him. He said nothing in pass- ing and his action a few seconds latér was without warning. When about 20 feet beyond the couple Underwood turned and opened fire. His first two shpts struck Miss Grier. Conard wheeled as she fell and a third shot presumably was directed at him. He sprang toward Underwood and the lat- ter turned his pisto) muzzle against his own breast and fired. “Don’t worry, dad, I'm not badly hurt,” pluckily called Miss Grier in response to an anxious inquiry from her father, who had sprung from bed at the sound of the shots and run to a window. Scantily clad, Grier hastened ito the house. e others carried. the dying Underwood to the house and taid him on the porch. They were rushed in automobiles to different hospitals.
