Fruit Jnspoctor, Clactsooa Co. "I am better off dead. Am only a nuisance to everybody." I These words were written on tno I back of a card, found In the pockets of a man whose body waa discovered ! about 5 o'clock last Saturday afi;i . noon on the beach below the open air sanitarium at Milwaukee. On the other side of the card was written the name of Robert McVlcor, and It la presumed that this la the name of the dead man, and there is no otner clew to hla Identity. J The body was found by Henry Bo ! decker, gardner for the sanitarium. Uodecker had made dally trlpa to the ' beach for three days In search of a boat belonging to the sanitarium. The craft bad been sunk during the I recent high water. McVlcor had cut his throat with a rator. The case was found but the weapon was missing, and McVicor had either thrown It Into the river, or it could not be found in the dark neaa. In the dead man'a pockets were a package of 60 blank visiting cards, i a memorandum book with a lew ng lures in It. a pocketbook containing two postage Btamps and a pair of I steel framed spectacles. He was a 1 man weighing about 140 pounds, of alight build, and having a fair com plexion. His hands were small, ana Indicated that he had not been a work ing man. His hair was streaked with gray and he bad a small gray mous tache. He wore a pair of gold-bowed spectacles. The man was apparently destitute, and thla waa probably the reason for taking bis own life. Coroner Holman and Sheriff Beatte were notified and went to Milwaukee, bringing the body to this city. McVlcor bad smoked a cigar, this being tbe last act of bis life, and tbe stamp of tbe -weed was found a few feet from bis body, -which was lying in a pool of blood. Coroner Holman held an Inquest CITY POUND IS LOST THIS TOWN IS NOW WITHOUT A PLACE TO HOUSE ITS STRAY ANIMAL8. Oregon City Is not to be behind the times since the robbery of the Eaut Portland bank. Mayor Carll and the city council are at a loss to know what has become of the city pound, where atray cattle have been kept. The fences and buildings have disap peared within tbe past few days, and since the heavy rains tbe tracks, which might have led to the discov ery of the perpetrators, bave been de stroyed. Chief of Police Burns made the discovery on Saturday, and re ported the matter to the mayor. The city la at present without a pound, and not only that but John F. Clark, abstracter, saya that he has the lot. What Is bothering Mayor Carll and tbe councilmen now is, that probably the city hall will be the next thing the vandals will take, and the mayor says he U to keep a sharp lookjout on this building. It Is probable that the mayor will offer a reward for the capture of the thieves of the pound, who will be aeverely dealt with.
