ONE SUICIDE IDENTIFIED
ANOTHER CORPSE FOUND
Unknown Ends Life In
Woods Near Hang
man Creek.

This morning man named
Roundtree, who lives near Hang
man creek, found the dead body OF
a man lying along the roadside in
the clump of bushes in the rear OF
the residence of John A. Finch. The
unknown had shot himself.
The police today are searching
for travelling preacher or very
religious man who may throw some
light on the identity of the suicide.
J. l.. Whitstone, who lives at Grant
av and f St, said he saw man
sitting last evening with the I'M
known on the roadside with an
open bible in his lap. The suicide
was crying at the time. Whitstone
does not known who the religious
instructor was.
Whitstone identified the body as
that of the man he had seen with
the preacher.
The police were notified and De-
tectiye Macdonald and Patrolman
Lawson investigated Coroner
Witter was called and ordered the
remains removed to Buchanan's
morgue. The unknown man had
shot himself through the left breast
and through the mouth. There was
nothing among his effects which
would furnish clew to his identity.
Grasped in his right hand was a 80
caliber Colt revolver of late pat
tern.
The coroner had some difficulty
in detaching the weapon from the
death grip of the mans hand.
Apparently the suicide was cool
and determined in his act A tree
near (which he evidently fired the
first shot bore bullet holes, where
he had shot probably to see II the
weapon was in good condition. The
second shot must have been fred
through his mouth rod from
where he had fired the one through
his breast, as pool of blood was
near the tree. The bushes were
torn up and the mans clothing and
hands were covered with blood, as
though he had rolled and thrashed
about in the death struggle.
The man wore old clothing and
cheap work shoes. His hands were
heavily callused. His face is red
and tanned and his hair is a light
sandy. almost red. colored.
He had about "a in change. a
sack of tobacco and memorandum
book of the Oak Hall Clothing Co.."
in which in January 1906, his work
ing time was kept. There was also
a recipe for blood medicine. Be-
side the tree where the first pool OF
blood was found was pint bottle
of port wine with about one-quarter
] empty.

J.B. flaming Is the Man
Who Leaped Into
the Falls.

A photograph of j. B. Tanning,
who for the past 4 months was
clerk at the bottle counter in Dur
kin's saloon. has been identified as
that of the suicide who leaped off
the Howard st. bridge about I
o'clock Monday evening after tell
ing Harry Smith and James Stark
few minutes before of his inten-
ton. When shown the photograph
Smith and Stark both identified the
suicide.
Tanning quit work at Durkin' s
last Sunday and announced that he
was going to the country to do some
hard work for his health. Monday
afternoon he appeared at Durkin's
very much intoxicated. A friend
conducted him to the Cadillac hotel,
where he roomed. But it seems
that Tanning went back downtown.
When partially sobered in the even
ing he remarked to several friends
that he would rather leap off the
bridge than to have his father or
relatives know that he had been in
that cOnditlOn.
The young man was very despon-
dent all evening. He told Stark and
Smith when he saw them near the
Howard st. bridge that he had de-
cided to end it all by jumping into
the river Stark and Smith thought
nothing of it until a few minutes
later they saw the man walk to the
rail, poise an instant and then take
the plunge into the whirlpool of
water. They FASTENED to the po-
lice station with the information.
The officers grabbed ropes and
poles and hurried to the scene, but
it was too darkt see much. One
officer saw a dark object go over
the upper falls and It is believed
this was the body.
Fanning's absence from his room
at the Cadillac was discovered yes
terday when a friend of his secured
the services of Detective Weir and
the door was opened by the land
lady, who had thought nothing OF
the room having been vacant for ?
nights. Fanning's photograph was
taken to Clark's Front av. restap-
rant, where Smith was at work. HI
identified it on the instant as that
of the suicide.
Tanning was bright, educated
young man OF rs years. His father
is a travelling man for New York
house. He has a sister living in
Los Angeles and one in St Paul.
His relatives have been notified of
the disappearance and the fact that
his photograph has been identified
as that of the suicide.

TO BE COUNT
(Scripps News Association.)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The
story printed in morning papers
that the man killed Monday night
by a posse at willows, Cal, was
Count Otto Won Waldstern, of Aus
tria, is given little credence here.
The body was exhumed yesterday
by request of San Francisco news
paper man.
After examining the teeth he
said: THAT is not him" Accord
ing to the story, the man thought
the posse a band of robbers.
Waldstern is well known to the
Austrian consul, but the latter
thinks it case of mistaken iden-
tity. Waldstern lost his fortune
and came to America. He entered
the reclamation service, which he
recently quit.
