Kills Woman and Himself.

T. C. Ellzey of McComb City, Miss., shot a woman companion and either killed himself immediately afterward or was killed by officers. Ellzey and the woman arrived at Wells Point, Tex., and after leaving an officer learned that the man was wanted by the authorities in Louisiana. Armed with a warrant, two officers started after Ellzey and his companion. They were overtaken near Elmo hnd Ellzey shot the woman dead and began a pistol duel with the officers. When the smoke of battle cleared away Ellzey was found dead, but it is not known whether he was killed by the officers or by his own hand.
