Herbert Thompson of Vale, "a
years old. lies dead at Pilot Rock
as result Of gunshot wound in his
head inflicted by 5000 Winchester
rifle in the hands of the young man
himself either accidentally or with
suicidal intentions. After a careful
investigation Coroner H. s. Garfield
and Sheriff T. d. Taylor are inclined
to the accident theory
The tragedy occurred at the Alfred
Smith ranch on West Birch creek
shortly before g. o'clock last evening.
The young man. who Is a second cou-
sin of Mr.. Smith. had been working
for him only since Monday He had
TO the bunkhouse a short distance
from the farm residence, but short
time before his death.
About 5:45 Mrs. Smith, who was in
the house, heard a shot. but seeing no
one about, dismissed the matter from
her mind. Shortly afterwards, how
| ever, Charles Smith. another employe
of the ranch. entered the bunkhouse
and found young Thompson lying on
the floor, unconscious and dying with
| a gaping wound in the head. The rifle
lay on the floor by the side Of the
body
! He hastily summoned Mrs. Smith
and they telephoned Immediately to
| Pilot Rock for medical assistance but
death occurred in a few minutes after
the discovery. The authorities were

sheriff went out this morning.
Over the telephone at noon, Coron-
er Garfield stated that they conducted
! a careful examination and were OF
! the opinion that the shooting was ac-
cidental. The magazine of the rifle
was found full of cartridges and they
believe. If suicide had been intended
| only one would have been inserted
| The shells were found to stick a little
in the breech and it is thought pos
| sible that the gun might have been
discharged accidentally while the
young man was loading it. The
course of the bullet also indicated an
accident. DR.. Garfield thinks. II
struck the young man in the forehead
and. ranging upward came out on
| top of the head and penetrated the
ceiling. carrying some of the hair
1 with it.
There is no reason known to Mr..
and Mrs. Smith why the young man
should have taken his own Nfe.
| Though he had been with them but
a few days. they state that he seemed
TO be OF a CHEEKY disposition and In
the best OF spirits. He ate a hearty
dinner yesterday and tested about the
amount he had eaten afterwards.

Thompson of Vale. Ore. and the faith

ley W. Harrah and Charles Olcott.

No inquest will be held over the re-
mains. Coroner Garfield believing
that no additional facts could be
brought out by one inasmuch as there
were no witnesses to the death.
