Thompson, a teacher at Range’s school-
house, near Eiizabethton, was killed
yesterday by a pistol shot fired by Frank
Kidwell of South Watauga, who iinrne-
; aiately afterward took his own life.
Kidwell went to Range’s schooihonse,
j near Eiizabethton, at noon, and called
I Miss Thompson out, telling her that she
j was wanted by her parents at home.
| After getting a short distance from the
| schoolhouse and, it is said, without any
j provocation whatever, he pulled a re
volver and shot Miss Thompson through
the heart, killing her instantly.
Kidwell then placed the revolver to
his own breast and pulled the trigger.
He also died instantly.
Miss Thompson was about 25 years
old and Kidwell 21. Both parties be
longed to good families.
It is said the only motive Kidwell had
for killing Miss Thompson ana taking
his own life was her refusal of his offer
of marriage.
