Feb. 6. (Special.) That Frank Acusta, found dead at a lonely spot 16 miles above Tiller, took his own life Is the statement of Cor oner Ritter, who returned from the scene Tuesday. Acusta, who has hunt ed in the mountains in the South Ump qua country for more than 20 years, it appears, lost his footing and fell over a low ridge of rock, his rifle being discharged in the fall, the bullet strik ing under the left arm and coming out at the shoulder. Despairing of assistance and fearful of a lingering death, Acusta wrote a brief note stating the fact, then dragged himself several feet away, where he leaned against a log, drew his revolver anad shot himself through the head. In the opinion of the Coroner, the first wound, while an ugly one, would not necessarily have caused death, but Acusta is thought to have been weak from loss of blood and took no chances of suffering alone in the wilds.
