Because her father denied her permission to visit the World's Fair this summer, Dollie Ruble ended her life last Saturday afternoon by a charge from a shot gun. The shot entered her right breast and she died an hour later. Dollie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ruble whose home is on the Pottawatomie reservation, six miles southwest of Mayetta. This winter she has been living with her relatives, the Wynant family, in Holton and attending the High School. Last Saturday she returned home to remain over Sunday. It appears she asked her father to permit her to visit the World's Fair this summer in company with her aunt, Miss Ida Wynant, and the request was refused. Dollie became angered and despondent and told her brother she would kill herself Toward evening she secured a shot gun and when her parents were out of sight she placed the muzzle to her breast and with the ram rod pushed the trigger. After she fired the shot she was conscious, but refused to talk to her father ... The body was brought to Holton ...
