"Mansfield Woman Shoots Herself but Inflicts Only a Slight Flesh Wound- Giving domestic troubles as her reason, Mrs. Kate Ronk, aged about 32 years, attempted to end her life by shooting herself at the Robert's stopped, south of Shelby on the Mansfield-Shelby interurban line this morning. She is in the emergency hospital in Shelby's top-ranked from a flesh wound which the attending physicians, doctors Smith and Zebold, do not regard as serious. The crew of a Shelby-bound interurban car saw Mrs. Ronk lying alongside the track at the Robert stopped at 8:30 o'clock this morning. She was picked up by conductor Curtis and was taken aboard the car in an apparently dazed condition. She was taken to the emergency hospital in Shelby and the physicians who were called made an examination in which it was found that she had shot herself in the left breast, but bullet entering just below the heart and following a rib to the back where it came out. The revolver which she used was found incorrect which was near where she was lying. It was a new 32 caliber U.S. revolver, an apparently secured for the purpose of self-destruction, as a letter also found in the grip disclosed that the woman had deliberately planned to end her life. Two bullets remained in the revolver. At the hospital Mrs. Ronk told Marshall Tucker of Shelby that she was the wife of Perry Ronk and that her husband and two sons, George and Ray, lived on the Kirk farm northwest of Mansfield, on the southwestern line near stopped 115. She said that her husband had formerly been a break man on the Pennsylvania lying out of Mansfield. The letter, which was addressed to her husband and children, showed that there had been domestic difficulties and she told of having suit her husband for a divorce. She asserted that there was no one but herself to blame and ask that her husband be not blamed for her act. It is stated that Mrs. Ronk went from Mansfield to Shelby last evening and secured a room at the Central restaurant, where she spent the night, leaving this morning and walking out along the interurban line to the Robert's stop where she may be unsuccessful attempt to end her life. She will be able to leave the Shelby hospital within a day or so."
