Seriously Wounds
His Wife's Doctor
and Kills Himself
Nevada City Residen t
Enacts a Double"
Tragedy
DISPATCH TO THE CALL
GRASS VALLEY, July 28.—
Dr. I. E. Scobie was brought to
the Jones Memorial hospital here
early this morning from Nevada
City, having been desperately
wounded last night by William
Sigoumey of the latter place.
Sigourney committed suicide soon
after the shooting of Scobie by
sending a bullet through his
brain. Dr. Scobie was shot at
the Sigourney residence, while
the suicide of N>Sigourney took
took place on the lawn in front of
the Scobie dwelling. Between
the two tragedies Sigourney had
helped Scobie from the Sigourney
residence, to the doctor's ; own
home, and then had gone down
town in search of Mrs. Scobie.
Finding, her in D. AY^ Dailey's
store, he told her of the shooting and
the reasons therefore and then 're
paired to the Scoole. residence to takii
hSs own life.
Scobie was operated upon, today, in
the Jones hospital and the chances fa
vor his recovery. Sigrourney had flred
twice, both bullets taking effect In Dr.
Scobie's left hip and thigh.
Throughout the day many rumors
in connection with the tragedy have
been afloat, but all^persons directly In
volved maintain_%a" discret silence.
Friends of Dr. Sco.bie express the be-
Jief that Sigourneyjvras temporarily in
sane and that there was no ground for
bis jealousy. Sigourney's friends,' al
lege that be was entirely rational' last
night and advance .the theory that>he
had set a trap ,. for the physician and
Mrs. Sigourney* in bis own. home. . >\u25a0
That Sicourney assisted Scobie home j
niter the shooting adds to^. the mystery, j
It is believed t!iat he regarded the j
physician's wounds as mortal and, ha v-^
Ing come to this belief, decided to end
his own life rather than ,< face trial J on
a murder charge. Something* of the
rjeal truth in regard to the tragedy may
be brought out at the coroner's. inquest
tomorrow. In additidrito the, wives of
the two -men storekeeper! Dailey- prob
ably knows the reason advanced by
Higourney for. the shooting 'of : Scobie.j. i
Sigourney and Scobie had been lntl-^
mate friends and only a week ago .went
on a fißbing trip together. * Dr. Scobie
has numbered Mrs. Sigourney r among
lii» patients tor, the' last five' years. iThe
two men were among the* foremost citl
zvz.s ot Nevada City.
