Henry Magnusses, employed as
clerk in the grocery house of Ferd-
inand .,chlapkohl at 421 West Second

denly on Sunday morning. But
nothing was thought of it, as last

mysterious manner and was gone for
two weeks. This morning at about
s O'Clock at Fuller's saw mill while
men were engaged in sending logs
up the logway, body appeared and
although badly decomposed, was
identified as that OF Magnussess.
Deliberate Self Destruction.
He left letter addressed to his
employer, in which he stated that he
was tired of life, and that when the
letter reached him he (Magnusses)
would be dead. Magnusses was
about 40 years of age and came to
this country from Germany about Is
