Deliberately Plunge to His Death
No Eye Witnesses.

Coroner Ralph Folsom returned last
evening from Milton, where he had
been called by the violent death of
Fred Greisler. a Sunnysde rancher
BY request of the widow an inquest
was held buI the jury failed to fix
the responsibility of death beyond de-
claring that it was caused by fall in
to a well at his fruit ranch two miles
from Milton Whethes it was the
result of an accident or Of suicidal in

say, inasmuch as no one witnessed the
fatal fall.

the widow declared that when her
husband arose from bed at midnight
and brandished a hatchet over his
head, she did not believe he had any
intentions of doing her violence, but
rather. intended to end his own life
She said she succeeded in taking
the weapon from him, Whereupon he
walked towards the pumping house
in which there was a cot. She follow
ed a little later, she said, to see if he
had gone to bed. but finding the bed
empty could only infer that he had
fallen down the well.

dragged and her fears were confirm
ed when the dead body with the neck
broken, was recovered.
She is not fully convinced that her
husband jumped down the well, for
she thinks that in the dark he may
have stumbled over pipe near the
trap door which precipitated him in
to the opening. If it was suicide, the
only motive she can scribe, is de-
spondency, due to i'll health
