LAST COIN BUYS REVOLVER
LEON D. HUNT GROWS DESPON
DENT AND KILLS HIMSELF.
Victim of Incurable Heart Disease
Which Unfitted Him for Work
Decides to End His Life.
"There Is no use in trying any more
treatments, for it's no use, so I'm going
to wind up my career," said Lcou D.
Hunt in the office of H. D. Janes in the
Goodnough building, when he called there
Sunday afternoon, and the young man kept
his word, for he shot himself through the
right ear in a woodshed at 10 East Eighth
street North, at 3 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon, and died almost instantly. He
was despondent because of incurable
heart disease and consequent inability
to obtain employment, and he spent the
last $5 he possessed to buy a revolver
to destroy himself.
Hunt had not been employed for two
years, and he had used nearly all of
his savings. He had a room at the house
10 East Eighth street North, conducted
by Miss Emily Butterfteld. and he told
her recently that he had tout a little
money left, and that when it got down to
$5 he proposed spending that for a re
volver with which to kill himself. He
did as he threatened, it developed.
Hunt's conversation with Mr. Janes
clearly showed that he was contemplating
suicide. But a few minutes before he
took his life, he went into the office of
Mius Butterfield and chatted with her a
few moments. He possessed two gold
watches, one a gift! from an aunt and
the other purchased by himself In better
days.
"I'm going to make you a present of
these watches," said Hunt to Miss But
terfteld. "I have no further use for them,
as I am through with life and am going
to quit."
Without further ado, Hunt, went to the
woodshed in the rear of the house, sat
down against the box and shot himself
through the right car. He was dead when
neighbors, who heard the shot, rushed
in.
Deputy Coroner Arthur L. Finley was
notified of the suicide, as were also tho
police. Captain Moore dispatched a patrol-wagon,
in charge of Policemen Rob
son and Burke, but their services were
not required. The body was taken in
charge by Deputy Coroner Finley.
Hunt was aged 31 years, and was single.
Two -years ago he was employed by the
Portland Railway Company as a conduc
tor, but he fainted on the platform of
a car one day and Investigation showed
he was troubled with heart disease, and
he resigned. He had difficulty in
securing work afterwards, and grew more
and more despondent over his affairs,
until he finally committed suicide.
