SEEKS DEATH By SUICIDE
John Muir, the Well Known
Painter. Found Hanging
in his Shack.
BEEN DEAD FOUR MONTHS.
Letter From his Father Starts
investigation Which Results
in Finding Body.

Death by bis own hands. Such.
in the above headlines. is the short
story OF the sad ending Of John
Muir. the painter. well known here
10 Nssperce. where he has resided
for she pas, two years. To the dis
tressing fact OF suicide is added the
further fact thai the body Of the un-
sosunais man hung for four months
in his loseiy shack without 50 much
as friend visiting his abode to en-
quirs Of bis Whereabouts. The body
would perhaps have hung four
months longer without molestaiion
Il bis aged father, who lives in Brit
isb Columbia. had no, become wor-
ried over his cons failure 10 keep
up bis correspondence With his fam
ily, and started the investigation
which ended in the finding of his
body. The elder Muir directed a
letter to Rev. Leeds, inquiring after
his son. Mr.. Leeds communicated
With w. <. Larson and Mr.. Larson
told Marshal Eaton and together
they proceeded to the Muir shack
On their arrival they tried the doors
and windows but found the door
locked on ih. inside and papers
hung up on the inside Of the win
do~s so that no unobstuc;ed view
of ,he inside could be obtained.
Marshal Eaton then forced the dosr
and the blackened and badly decom-
posed body Of Muir was seen hang
ing in the corner Of the room with
his feet resting firmly on the floor.
The unfortunate man had climbed
up through the man-hole in the cell
ing and tied the rope to 4 rafter.
then passed the rope through the
hole and had either slid through the
man-hols or else gotten upon chair
and jumped off, causing strangula-
lion and death. Various theories
are advanced as to whether his heck

nan hole or whether death came by
strangulation. Close to Muir's body
IN one side was chair and on the
,ther side 4 broom, both of which
lad apparently not been disturbed

vas badly decomposed and must
lave been hanging for some months {
It least. A newspaper dated De- I
ember 2o was unfoldsd on the table u
howing that the deed was CON- t

Fidelity, Sanity, Drift.


Fidelity on the part of each one to
each other one in all things, at all
times, is the Scripture standard.
This requirement summons to the
best possible development of ones
powers. Nothing less than the high
est degree of proficiency attainable
should satisfy. The best is none too
good. In time of peace prepare for
war. So in time of prosperity pre-
pare for possible adversely. If more
of sanity characterized our ordinary
habits less of insanity would mar our
ordinary lives when under the stress
of disaster. Poise of soul, cultivated
i'm the calm, will serve us well when
beset by storm. Exceeding the ca
lamity of fire, water and other forms
of physical destruction is the con.
slant drift downward of the victims
of moral and spiritual evil. Listen
