FIRES TWO BULLETS
THROUGH HIS HEART
Oscar Halv0rs0n, Of This City,
DespOndent, Kills Him
self in Tacoma
Tacoma Tribune)

Oscar Halvorsnn, age 81, q
single weaver, Tuesday after
noon ended his life in his home
at 271O South 18th street by
sending two bullets from a small
revolver through his heart. Rel
atives attribute the act to sud-
den insanity, declaring the
young man had not been normal
for the last few days. He was
the son of G. A. Halvorson, a
fruit grower of Kennewick, and
had been in Tacoma only a short
time.
Oscar was to have met his
sisters, Miss Laura Halvorson
and Mrs. Tomine Davis at the
postofice yesterday afternoon
at a o'clock. When he did not
arrive they returned to their
home and found his body lying
on a bed in his room. A revolt
yer lay beside the body.
The police were notified and
Detective John Strickland, with
County Coroner L. B. Ashton, in
vestigated. The coroner found
that Halvorson had shot himself
through the heart twice, the bull
lets entering the body less than
half an inch apart.
Halvorson's sisters have been
in Tacoma several weeks and
were joined by him several days
ago. He left Kennewick to find
employment here, but was UNI
successful.
Coroner Ashton was told that
the youth had been respondent
for three or four days and was
not himself. Miss Halvorson
and Mrs. Davis were hysterical
over the suicide and were taken
to the home Of Rev. o. j. Ordal,
912 South 18th street. The body
of Halvorson was removed to
the c. 0. Lynn company's.
