Horrible Accident
Cumberland, Md., May 20. - At Oakland, this county, yesterday, Abraham Meeks, who had just been released from jail after serving a forty days’ sentence for selling liquor without a license, returned home and began acting strangely. A short time afterward his wife observed him as he was about to shoot himself with a shotgun. She grasped the muzzle of the gun just as it was discharged. The charge entered his breast, killing him and tore the wife’s hand completely off. He is supposed to have been insane.

Cumberland Md, April 28 -  Gilbert Mellot, aged 21 years, a young married man of South Cumberland, who had been working in Pittsburg Pa, shot himself in the head at 8 o'clock this morning at the home of his father-in-law, Shepherd Cross, and died shortly before 11 o'clock at the Allegany Hospital. He had been married about two years, was unfortunate in his business affairs, had been discharged from bankruptcy a short time ago, and following some trouble in the family, he had gone to Pittsburg to work, leaving his wife at the home of her father. Last week, he returned to Cumberland and stayed at the home of his sisters, intending to return to Pittsburg tonight to resume work. Yesterday his wife called to see him, and this morning he called at the Cross home to see her. There a quarrel arose and Mr Cross ordered Mellott from the house. The young man whipped out a revolver and placing it at his head, fired the fatal shot.
Mellott's mother is dead. His father lives in Oklahoma. A brother, Porter Mellott, and his sisters, Mrs Hattie Fay and Mrs Bertie Cox, live in South Cumberland. His wife was formerly Miss Arline Cross.
