a La Grande lumberjack known only
as "Kelly," hanged himself with a
rop to the rear of a hayrack on th

miles south of the city. There the
body of the suicide, who is supposed
to have been crazed by drink, wa3
found this morning by a farm hand
employed on the Mones ranch.
Released from the city Jail Sunday
after he had been arrested here be
cause of his insane actions, Kelly is
supposed to have headed for Wild
Horse canyon wlth'the intention of
walking to Walla Walla. :i -
At o.au Aionuay mornmg ,nm . uooy,
utterly barren of any marks of iden
tification, was found. There was noth
ing of value on his person, but two
p-cent pieces were found near ,the
scene of the suicide, where it is sur
mised they were thrown by Kelly be-
fore he swung himself to his death.
Taken In charge by Coroner Ralph
Folsom, the body indicates that a se
vere struggle followed the lumber
Jack's lonely leap to death. His cloth
ing is spattered with blood and the
left hand showed burns caused appar
ently by the fatal line It Is presum
ed that Kelly had 'been dead for sev
eral hours when found.

that he and the dead man were to
gether Saturday night, but knows
nothing about the man except that his
name is supposed to be Kelly and that
lw came from La Grande.
The dead man Js about 5 feet, eight
inches in height, about 56 years of age
and haa a Roman nose, gray mustache
