This Life.

Grangeville was shocked and
greatly saddened by a telephone
message received from Kamiah

nouncing the fact that Deputy

his brother-in-law G. s. Hunt, at
that place, at the point of death
from a gunshot wound, supposed
to have been inflicted by his own
hand in moment of mental de-
rangement. This conclusion was
fully verified by the coroner's in
quest. Word came next morning
that the unfortunate man had
passed away at 2 o'clock without
regaining consciousness, the bull
let having passed entirely through
the head from left to right.

preme court, who was in Grange
vile at the time, and who has
been a warm personal friend of
Mr.. Greene for number of years
cancelled his engagement at Mos
cow, where he was on the pro-
gram for an address at the Roos-
evelt reception, and took charge
of necessary details connected
with the sad affair, consulting
with the sister, Miss Aileen
Greene and Mrs. CARRIER. the
aunt at this place.
The body was brought to
Grangeville on Monday evening
under the directions of the local
|. o. o. f. order with Undertak
, er Hall in charge, and was accom-
: panied from Kamiah by the be-
, reaved wife and family and her
: brother C.S. Hunt, at whose home
deceased was visiting at the time
e of his death.
