ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

Astoria, Or, Sept. 2.-The coro-

son, whose dead body was found near
the door of his residence at Clifton
few days ago, this evening returned
verdict of accidental DEATH" The
verdict is considered a singular one,
inasmuch as all the circumstances
seemed to indicate that Swenson had
been murdered. The facts that the
gun with which the killing was done
was found several feet away from
where the body lay; the forcing open
of the door of Swensou's house, and
the testimony of DR.. Fulton that the
dead mans coat could not have been
powder burned to such an extent unless
the weapon, when discharged, was at
least two feet distant, are, in the opin-
ion of many Astorians, difficult to rec
onclle with the idea of accidental
