ALLEN, Arthur - {from The Gravette News} Arthur Allen, a man about 28 years of age, committed suicide Sunday evening by shooting himself with a 32 calibre target rifle. The ball entered the left breast just to the right of the left nipple and passed through the body killing him instantly. The deceased was living with his widowed mother at their home about two miles east of Hiwasse. He had made two attempts previous to this to take his own life but failed. He was subject to fits and it is supposed brooding over his affliction caused the rash act.
