DEATH BY THE KNIFE.
Dependency the Reason for Bin
Miner Ending His Life

Dependency the Reason for a Blind
Miner Ending His Life.
Blindness and dependency moved William
Hogan, miner living with G. GalIhard Mt
1919 Pacific street, to commit suicide yester-
day morning by cutting his throat with a
pocket-knife For week Hogan has been
very respondent, and acted at times in pc
culiar manner.
When Mrs. Gailhard went to his room about
10 o'clock yesterday morning she found
him lying on the floor dead. He was sur
rounded by pool of blood, which flowed
from gaping wound in his throat Beside
the dead man was a basin half filled with
blood, showing that he had bent over the
vessel until he became exhausted. A blood
stained knife lay on the carpet and told its
own tale OF self-destruction.
About six years ago Hogan lost his eye
sight by premature explosion of a dynamite
cartridge in mine in which he was en-
ployed. His right arm was also so badly
manged that 1t was amputated. He was in
receipt of S25 month from the State Min
ing Bureau and was unmarried, native of
Ireland and % years of age
