SHE DIED.
ANOTHER SUICIDE IN SAN AN
TONIO.
Katie Coggeehall. an Untrained
Topsy Takes Morphine In Large
Quantity.
Katie Coggeshall. a young girl just en-
tering her teens committed suicide Sat-
urday night by taking 60 grains of mor-
phine which she purchased at Cohen’s
drug store on West Commerce street.
She died at 3 o’clock -notwithstanding
the effor.ts of Drs. Fitzsimmons and Berry
to save her life.
The girl had lived at 516 Chaves street
with her half sister. Mrs. Anna McMul-
len until a few days ago. when she en-
gaged as servant in the family of J. P
Nelson. Saturday afternoon she came
home In very good spirits and later in the
evening visited Mrs. Wheeler’s house and
played cards there. She knocked at Mrs.
McMullen’s house about ten and
wanted to stay all night and
did so. About 11 o’clock Mrs. McMullen
heard her groaning and seeing her very
ill sent for a doctor. Dr. Fitzsimmons was
near by and was called. He sent for Dr.
Braunnagel’s and Dr. Monger’s batteries
when he found that morphine had been
taken but neither of these gentlemen
had their batteries at their residences
and Dr. Berry was called in.
The girl had bought the drug from
Cohen’s drug store early in the evening
saying it was for a Mrs. Smith. She
took a dose of it after she was
first taken ill. She remained con-
scious until near her death and
said she meant to kill herself. She gave
no explanation and none can be had ex-
cept that she has been rather wild and
running with a fast set? She had at-
tempted to run away from the city once
put was brought back. A few weeks ago
she ran away from home and a man
named John Brink called for her cloth-
ing saying she was at Mrs. Ruder’s on
North Laredo street. Who Brink is or
his connection with the case is not
known.
The remains were buried yesterday af-
ternoon.

SPECTATORS DISAPPOINTED.
Amon and Sam Barnes End Their
Match With the Usual Quarrel.
Saturday night rolled around and
with it came the long looked fur match
game of poof between the two broth-
ers Amon and; Sam Barnes at the
“Gem Billiard Parlor” on Soledad
street which was said to be tor the
championship of the state. As the
game progressed the spectators were
first interested and then disappointed
and when it ended in a disorderly
quarrel they were disgusted with
themselves and the players.
As the game was nearing an end
and Amon was ahead Saha claimed a
foul saying that the former bad failed
to call a ball Which - he had made.
The umpire upheld him at first but
when Amon commenced to kick he
changed the ruling and gave his de-
cision in Amon’s favor. The dispute
became warm and Amon stopped
playing and commenced to wash his
hands. Sam looked disgusted as
did the audience and tried to have
the game finished. His pleading was
of no avail and the game was declared
off.
This is the second time Amon has
thrown up a game in the most inter-
esting part on account of some little
quarrel. >
