Suicide-Coroncr Bazey, on Thursday last.
held an inquest on the body of one Allen,
which was found in a cabin on Wolf Creek,
about one mile below Grass Valley. From
the circumstances, it appears Allen commit
ted suicide, using shot gun, by attaching a
stri & to the trigger, and setting it off with
his toe. The whole charge entered his left
side, below the ribs, making most horrible
wound. On the person o: the deceased were
found few dollars in silver, and a letter dn-
ted at San Francisco sometime in 1856.
The letter showed that Allen had been an
applicant for some kind of an appointment.
the letter stated that 10 more appoint
ments could be made on the Pacific Coast.
and recommended that he proceed to Salt
Lake to make application, as thereby he
would gain greater glory. 1t is inferred from
this letter that the deceased was Il Morn on
and wanted license to preach.
Allen was last seen alive Sunday night, be.
tween which time and Thursday morning.
when the body was found he committed the
foolish act lie was an Engshman and about
30 years of age. His cabin is only few
yards from the scene of the Brennan tragedy

Science gets the world into terrible fix

lists speculate, the world certainly was, in the
begiunsng, very Indifferent affair. They
must tell how rock came, and the soil was
made-how vegetation originated the tire,
grew, and the mountains upheaved. Nothil

content to say the world, in the beginning,
was in a manner as glorious as we now be
