MEDFORD MAN
SUICIDE; JUMPS
FROM WINDOW

Chicago, June 26.-F. G. Owen.
36, lumber dealer from Medford.
Ore, plunged to his death from a
sixth floor window OF a Michigan
boulevard hotel early today. Owen,
with his uncle, s. F.,Owen Of Port
land, Oregon, had been a guest at
the hotel for two days. They
planned to start for home this
morning. The uncle said he was
unable to account for his nephew-s s
suicide. The two played cards
until 1880 last night, when the
uncle retired to another room.
owen pried loose the safety de-
vices on the window screen to
make his fatal leap. F. w. Brunk-
er, a passing motorist, who saw
Owen jump from the window,
said he fell feet first to the Mich
igan boulevard walk. Owens
neck and back were broken.
The dead man is survived by a
widow and two children in Med
ford, the uncle said.
Medford, Or, June 26.-Frank
G. Owen came to Medford from
Portland about seven years ago, to
look after the Owen timber inter
ests in this part of the state. He
left May 19 for Chicago to attend
an important business melting, re-
turned as far as Portland then
was called east again leaving the
latter city about a week ago.
Friends Of the family here are In
clined to doubt the suicide theory,
as no cause for such action is
known, and further investigation,
it is believed, will divulge the
tragedy was an accident. The
news was a great shock to the
owen family. Mrs. Owen collapsed
and is now under the care of a
physician. There are two little
daughters, eight and five years
old.
Police investigators were un-
able to determine whether the
death was accidental or suicidal,
although G. E. Anderson, secre-I
tary of the John S. Owen Lumber
company of Medford, who accom-
panied Owen and his uncle here,
and hotel Investigators, were of
the opinion that Owen had STUN
bled against the window screen
and forced it out. He said he
knew of no troubles that might
had been effecting Owen and be-
lieved the fall was accidental.

the respective terms are applid a.
most exclusively to Venus and Mer.

because those two planets never
