Woodsman Suicides.

Thomas Nukilich, woOdsman,
committed suicide Thursday forenoon
by shooting himself with shotgun.
Coroner CharbOuneau took charge of
the remains and they are being held
pending funeral arrangements.
Vukilich was employed at a camp
in South Carey. Fellow employees
said that he had complained of being
Ill the past few days and it is thought
that the rash act was committed IN a
tit of dependency brought on by ill
ness. Vukilich ended his earthly ca
reer by sitting on bed and holding
the muzZle of is guage shotgun to
his breast discharged the weapon by
using fOrked stick, which he had
evidently cut for the purpose. The
gun was held so close that the powder
charge scOrched the flesh and the shot
tore hole in his breast and caused
almost instant death. Attendants at
the camp heard the shot and found
Vukilich writing in agony on his bed
with death lowering over him. They
notified Coroner Charbonneau who
went to the camp and returned with
the body Thursday evening. The cor
Oner stated yesterday that he did not
think it necessary to hold an inquest
as the evidence showed clearly that
the man took his own life. The de-
ceased has no relatives hereabouts so
far as known but has a wife and other
relatives in the old country.

Soft Coal Prices Take Drop.

Ashland retail coal dealers were to-
day notified of a further drop of Is
cents a ton in soft coal to take effect
at once. This brings the price of
Hooking and splint lump coal to an
even $40 a ton. the lowest reached
since year ago.
Hooking and splint Goals are used
extensively for home consumption.
During the winter bitumiuous coal
reached the high price level of $3.50
ton. Since reaching that price a
steady decline has been noticed due
to mild weather conditions over the
entire northwest. No other Goals were
affected by a drop in price today.
A cut of from 30 to 90 cents a ton
in the various kinds Of coal was made
last Thursday.
According to Ashland coal dock
men there is plenty of coal in the
Ashland docks owing to the extreme
mild winter but they expect to get
tt eir docks clean by the opening Of
navigation. Ashland Press.
