No cause is known why young Cun
ningham should have committed sui
cide. He was in the best of health,
and had been in good spirits all day.
It seems that in the afternoon he went
to a gypsy camp, which is near town,
and had his fortune told, and the gyp
sies told him things that made him
blue, and seemed to prey on his mind.
This is the only cause so far advanced
that would have made him think of

Although but twelve miles from New
Orleans, Little Woods, on Lake Pont-
chartrain, is so surrounded by swamps |
that the only approach to the scene|
of the wreck is by way of railroad, j
It was some time before the news of|
the catastrophe reached the city, but
as soon as it was learned here a re !
lief train was hastily made up and
rushed to the aid of the passengers
and their dead and dying.
When the rescue party reached Lit
tle Woods the scene that met their
eyes was one of terror, desolation,
death. The wreck had caught fire and
the first efforts of the passengers and
the few fishermen and hunters loung
ing around the Lake Pontchartrain
camp were directed toward subduing
the flames.
Just who Is responsible for the
wreck has not been ascertained.
A dense fog covered Lake Pontchar
train and its surroundings and ob
scured the view of everything a few
yards away.
