DE ROUGEMONT.
SAID TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE. INVERCARGILL, February 20. The Leigh's Creek (Adelaide) correspondent of the Melbourne Age reports that the man, named A. M. Smith, who shot himself at Oodnadafcta a couple of weeks ago, was the son of an English clergyman, and none other than the famous De Rougemont, who brought himself into prominence by publishing in the World Wide Magazine fictitious adventures in Australia and the South Seas. He recently left having received a commission to go to Tarcoola in search of material for another journalistic venture. His funds, it is believed, were run out at Oodnadatta, and English remitances were late.
