DRAMATIC DEMISE 
Agnes Buelna, was part of a rather unusual family filled,  with eccentricities - criminal behaviors and attention getting drama queens, as depicted in the following articles dating back from 1901 & 1904. Agnes had a flare for the dramatic, previously attempting to shoot herself, drowned herself, poison herself and well, she finally found a way to end herself.

​ NOT AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE 

A woman with hair disheveled and so helpless she was unable to stand was carried to the calaboose Tuesday afternoon by officers. It was a pitiful sight, but there was no other place to take a woman in her condition. 

Her name is Agnes Buelna. At one o'clock she went into the rear room of the Farmers Saloon, where she called for a glass of cider. She had her baby with her. After drinking the cider she fell to the floor in a spasm.

As a bottle of carbolic acid was on the table near to the empty glass, it was thought that she had attempted suicide, but the physician, who was hastily summoned, was of the opinion that she did not take the poison, as there were no signs of it in her mouth, which would be burned had she swallowed it. It was stated that she threatened to take acid when she returned home. 

​The woman gave no explanation of her conduct. She was placed on a bunk in a cell in the calaboose, where she could sleep off the effects of any strong decoction she might have taken, as it was evident the liquid she had imbibed would not have a fatal effect. Her baby was taken care of by kind- hearted people.

 JILETED LOVER IS SUICIDE 

 GIRL SATURATED CLOTHING WITH COAL OIL
 AT MONTEREY - 


​MONTEREY, Nov. 14. -  Agnes Buelna known also as Agnes Manning, aged twenty - two, stung to frenzy by disappointment in a recent love affair, attempted suicide at New Monterey last evening by saturating her clothing with coal oil and applying a match in the presence of her sweetheart. 

​Bugler Mize of C Company, Fifteenth Infantry, for love of whom the deed was committed, wrapped his coat about the girls body and with the aid of others who were attracted by her screams subdued the flames, but not until the unfortunate young woman had been terribly burned from head to foot. Her recovery is impossible and a few hours will end her sufferings. 

​Mize was to have married the girl and the license had been issued before he learned something of her past history and that she had given him an assumed name. Enraged at his refusal to have the ceremony performed she prepared the spectacular suicide. 

​The Buelna family has distinguished itself as regards attempts at suicide. Last spring Agnes shot herself over a love affair. During the summer she jumped into the bay, and but three months since a relative, Mrs, Alva Young, killed herself with carbolic acid. - Examiner.
