BODY OF SUICIDE FOUND.
J. Steel, Ends His Life on Branch of
Beaver Creek.
Last Saturday afternoon two young
men named Waldron and Marley,
while hunting on Beaver' Creek about
four miles from Oregon City, came
upon the badly decomposed body . of
a man -whose irlentitv has been estab
lished as that of J. Steel, who was un
til a few weeks ago employed on the
Southern Pacific construction gang in
this city.
The body was found in a sitting pos
ture beside the creek, under -an- old
log, which had fallen across the
stream. Lying by his side was a "Win
chester rifle, and in his lap was a 38
calibre revolver. The case is clearly
suicide. The man's head had faljen
from his shoulders, and he had been
dead several months. He was dressed
in a suit of dark clothing, with over
alls over his trousers, wore a black
shirt and a soft black hat. HJs shoes
were high, with hob nails, and their
condition aisciosea tne xaci mat no
nad tramped a long distance.
Coroner Holman made an examina
tion of the clothing, and in a pocket
found a pocket memorandum book,
with the name of J. O. Iris, or Irish,
on the fly leaf. A bullet hole is in the
forehead of the skull. ' Coroner Hol
man held an inquest, and a jury, con
sisting of J. L. Waldron, J. G. Bradley,
J. E. Jack, D. C. Eby, D. E. Frost and
W. M. Midlam, determined that Iris
had met death by his own hand. The
body was interred in the county cem
etery. , '
On Monday the remains were posi
tively identified as those of ' J. Steel.
Identification was established by J.
Irish, who is wdrking on Southern Pa
cific construction work in this city.
Steel had written the name of Irish
in a notebook, and in the absence of
further evidence the Coroner's jury
concluded the dead man's name was
Irish. Steel was an unmarried man,
but has relatives in the East. Pre
vious to September 15 last Steel was
employed on the same construction.
