place, of which mention was made yesterday.
The deceased was a stranger, and nothing
was found upon his person by which his
name or place of residence could be deter
mined. The remains were found behind a
straw stack about thirty rods back from the
jackson road. 1t was evidently case of
suicide. An XII. No. 4 five-shooter revolver
was lying by the side of the body, with two
chambers empty, and the deceased had been
shot twice One bali entered at the center
of the throat and came in front of the
lower part of the ear, and passing through
the ear afterward and the other ball entered
near the center Of the forehead, with the APP
| pearance of having taken a central range
| backward There were two pairs of pants and
three shirts and pair of green wooden socks
upon the body, and two coats and pair of
boots were lying beside il. No money or val
uables, except the revolver, were found
| Two loaves of dry bread and some bologne
sausage, wrapped Ia paper and tied up in
handkerchief. were lying near by. 1t is
| thought the body had lain week or more
since death. The deceased was probably
about 40 years of age, had light brown hair
and long reddish beard and mustache, with
large upper teeth, standing apart. The Cor
oners jury rendered verdict in accordance
| with the above facts, and that deceased came
| to his death by two gunshot wounds fired by
his own hand, with suicidal intent.

ing until he took an unusual interest in as
Economical affairs, started out Jibboom street
soliloquizing at the comet, and became so in
terested in his subject, and so absent TO
things terrestrial, that he walked off into the
slough and commenced to make rapid disap-
pearance by miring into the soft slickens
which abide in unknown quantities at that
point. In this unenviable position he called
for help IS best he could, but was too much
mellow from liquor to give much of an alarm.

fisherman who resides near by, and who, with
the aid CT John Wilson and Samuel Kamu,

went to his relief in boat and after much
effort rescued him. He had settled into the
slickens, retaining perpendicular position,
until nothing but his head remained above
water, and in a few minutes more would have
been drowned and successfully buried at the

the Brooklyn Hotel, where. after much
trouble, he was scraped and washed and dry
clothes provided, but was still too drunk to
give his name.
