A Shelbyville Girl Commits Suicide
----------
          Miss Rebecca Fuller,  a young girl of about eighteen years, is missing from her home at Shelbyville, Ind,, since Monday night, and it is thought that she jumped in the Blue river and was drowned.  She left a note in which she stated that at midnight that night she would leap over the Blue river bridge and for her sister not to mourn over her death.  The girl wandered away some months ago, and when found was lying across her mother's grave, several miles in the country.  She had considerable talent for painting and for writing poetry.  Her mind was deranged.
