DESPONDENT FARGO GIRL KILLS SELF Fargo, N. O., Nov. 22.-Despondency and a "moneyless" winter ahead caused Miss Ida Puarien, 24, to commit suicide last night by drinking poison at the Gardner hotel, which was her home. 'I'm just as good as te day I was born but it can't last,' she said in her note to parents at Reeder, N. D. This is a little town where six hundred farmers gathered a few weeks ago to give thanks, in prayer, for a bountiful harvest. Miss Puariea lost her position as assistant cashier of the Security State bank here when it closed more than a year ago. She was with the First National bank at Wadena, Minn., for more than a year and returned here as assistant to the receiver of the bank-work on which was to be ended next month.
