PrintingI THE CORVALLIS TWO OPERATORS IN THE McMINJf TILLE TELEPHONE OFFICE. One' Well Known in CorvalliB Where ;iShe . Attended - College -Rocbfeller to Give Twenty Six Millions to Chicago University. McMinnville, Or., Jan. 21. De spondent from reasons unknown to their families or friends, tired of living and determined to die, Nanoa Ungerman, night telephone oper- ator at McMinnville, and her chum, Mrs. Ollie Gaunt, a divorced wo man, drank arsenic in deadly quan tities in the telephone office last night, both succumbing today to the effects of the poison. Miss Un german called up several operators along the telephone line and told , tnem sn9 and ner companion were tired ofr living and were taking the ppispja at the time the message was sent." The grim announcement was not beSeved and those who- received the message thought the McMlnn- vilie central was indulging in chatt ing over the wire ' .; Both were prominent and popular young women, from the leading families of the town, and had pleas-; ant homes and, so far as is known, no reason existed for their untimely self-destruction. Mre, Gaunt - had been separated from her husband for several months, but none of .her friends suspected that her domestic troubles weighed sufficiently heavy on her - mind ' to cause her to con template suicide, The poison was taken about half past 8 o'clock last night. Miss Un germarn bad been acting as night, operator in the telephone office. She wai accompanied to her . work by Mrs. Giiint, and both seemed to be in the best spirits when Mr. Hem- hreeV'ine proprietor of the store in which the telephone office is situ ated, left his establishmeht early in the evening. Mr. Hembree returned to his sfore about 9 o'clock, and found Mrs. Gaunt standing' in the rear door of the building, ill. ' As she became worse atV" once, a" phy sician was summoned . . ;' Under , bis direction Mtb. Gaunt was removed to the home of her step-father, T. A't McCcurt,. while Miss IJngerman walked otit unaided and apparently in normal health. ; Id a short time Miss Ungerman was taken ill."7-7 ' Miss Ungerman is - the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Ungerman, highly respected citizens of McMiun viile. Mrs. Gaunt was the daughter of .Mrs. T. .A. McCourt, of this city, and was a general favorite. ' Mrs. Gaunt formerly lived ' in Hillsboro, where she was well known. ' ' Chicago, Jan. 21. The Record Herald tomorrow will say: It is rumored in faculty circles at . the University of Chicago that John D. Rockefeller ta contend platt ing a gift of $26,000,000 in order" to see the complete development of the University, according to President .
