WHO SHOT SELF IS BETTED One Reason Attributed For Rash Act is That He Lost On Baseball Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 16. Eugene McDonald, who shot himself Satur day morning at a club several miles in the country, was so much im proved today as to give the physicians hope of his recovery.' It was discovered Saturday night that he inflicted the wound in his body near the heart. A thousand ru- K mors and reasons were current Sat urday and even now the motive for shooting himself is uncertain. He wrote his mother a letter an hour be fore it happened and told others that he intended to kill himself. Nobody believed him. Even after he shot himself his friends, who had remarked upon his jovial nature Friday night, did not believe it. Young McDonald walked to the club house and told members not to let him die, that he had shot himself. He did not then convince his friends until he opened his coat I'and showed the wound. He desired to live then. . Mr. McDonald was rushed back to Raleigh, a distance of five miles, in 6 1-2 minutes and placed in the hospi tal. It looks today as if he will re cover. He owes his life to the fact that he could not fire his pistol twice, an ill-fittinghell stopping the cham ber from revolVing. The young man made the second attempt to fire. He is said to have' lost consider able money on the recent world's, se ries between Boston and Brooklyn, but nothing worse is known as a rea son for shooting, himself.
