SUICIDE AT Observation-Disclosures was
made in the RECORD UNION about a week
ago to the mysterious disappearance of a
partially insane hostler, who had been en-
ployed at McCombers stable, Folsom.
Fears were entertained that he had COM
mitted suicide, and it has since trapspired
that such was the fact The telegraph says
that last Tuesday evening Chinaman
named Hi WO Hung came into town and
reported having found a dead body in the
river, about three miles below 1t was
supposed to be the corpse of John Fan
craft, who was drowned at Horseshoe Bar
on July Sd. Wednesday morning Under
taker Miller brought the remains into
town, when they were Immediately rec
oguized as being those of Michael Sayars
The body was clothed in a gray shirt,
black pants and boots. A piece of cloth was
tied around the forehead, covering the eyes.
There was bullet hole in the left side of
the neck. The deceased had evidently
taken every precaution TO insure the sue
cess of his proposed self-murder. The
place chosen for the deed, where his coat
and vest were found, was on the side of
steep bank, about fifteen feet above the
river He had placed himself where he
was only prevented from falling into the
water by clinging to the shrubbery, blind
folded himself placed the pistol to his
throat and fired, afterwards falling into the
river Judge Anderson held an inquest
over the remains, and the jury returned a
verdict of suicide committed while labor
ing under fit of temporary insanity. The
unfortunate hostler was a stranger here,
and the only clue to be found regarding
his former home was poll-taX receipt
found in one of his coat pockets, dated at
Ukiah, Humboldt county, in April last.
No money or other valuables were found.
Those with whom he associated while in
Folsom say that he acted very queerly at
times, but that he was not addicted to drink.
He was supposed to be about 10 years of
age"
