Death by self harm shocks Tuscarora couple
George Ham shot his wife in a Tuscarora home after a pact to kill themselves. He failed to kill himself, fired upward, and the couple lay as he cried over the body. Both were described as dope fiends once employed at Elko county hospital. Ham is jailed as investigation continues. Also noted: Tonopah pioneer Thomas E. Edwards died in Oakland from injuries after a St Helena auto crash. Orlando F. Jenks died in Reno from a skull fracture in an auto accident.
