rents live in Tustin district, southeast of
Santa Ana, returned home from school
between 4 and o'clock. He passed
through the house, depositing his books
as usual, and went oat to the barn to at
tend to his regular duties.
Being absent longer than usual his
mother went out to look for him. On en-
tering the barn she saw her son suspend
ed by the neck with rope fastened to
an upper joist.
The alarm being given neighbors gath
cred and the young man was cut down.
DR.. ]. M. Lacy was called Immediately,
but life was extinct DR.. J. D. Mills, dep
| uty coroner, held an investigation today
| and the jury rendered the verdict Of ac-
cidental hanging.
It seems that the young man had been
accustomed to practice on a trapeze,
swinging rope, etc., and the inference is
that in so doing he fell in such manner as
to strangle him. He was seen by friends
as he went home, a Id they state that he
seemed as healthy, cheerful and happy
as usual.

| traction at the race course tomorrow,
