On Friday evening last shortly after nine o'clock the body of Miss Leona LUPPEN of McDonald was found on the railroad track just beyond Primrose. Deputy Coroner HUMPHRIES was summoned and the body was brought to the mortuary on Outlook street. Coroner HEFFRAN conducted an inquest on Monday at 11 o'clock and the jury after hearing the evidence were convinced that the cause of death was deliberate suicide. The evidence showed that Miss LUPPEN had been despondent for some time; had frequently declared that she would put an end to her life and on that evening she gave the key of her trunk to her roommate, Miss WILLIAMS, and told her to do what she pleased with it. She came down the hotel stairs crying at about 7:15 and started toward the railroad. Mrs. SHAFFER of the hotel called her to inquire what was the matter but she went on without answering. She was last seen alive at the depot at about 7:30 when she started up the track alone, walking on the ties between the rails. No trains were passing at this time and she evidently had walked on until she came to a coal train below the Primrose mine where an engine was making up its load on the south track. None of the train men saw her, but the body was still warm when found and no other train had passed over that track. Mead CAMPBELL of Moon Run, formerly of Champion, died at a Pittsburg hospital Tuesday evening. Mr. CAMPBELL was a cousin of John LONGSTRETH and William COUSINS of Sturgeon. *Sturgeon column
