C0NONCN HAS TAKEN CNAR0E Pally i.uanl, Jan If Four weeks ago today August Fisch er, H WSll-kDOwn farmer res ding m.uIIi of Eugene started out from hi- resi dence ostensibly lor the purpose of hunting. He carried a gon slid a uumlsT of cartridges. Failing to re turn (ears weie entertained that Mr. Fischer had made way with himself. Searching parlies went nut Rod limited lodOStrioasly over the foothill- a num ber of dill, lent times, but failed to li.nl any Ira.-e 01 the missing man. Word was sent In friends up the MoRiOlli and in Ilia lb. henna district whom he might have visited, nut lie could not be fouod nor board from, a March ing party of over one hundred men front Eugene then went out and spent the day in going over hills again, nut this Moron ended at did ths others - I' h. lit results. During (l.e past week Mr. Fischer's dogs had leeu going nut over tbe hills, and in response to a request from Mrs. Fischer another party went out this morning to make a further search. This parly was composed of John Klanton, W. B. Hla'. ton, Isaac Blati ton, Wm. BlRntOO, Newton Blai'tou, Wm. Blaulon, jr., J. 8. Ale.Murry, Irving Higgins and Jake Parks. About 10 o'clock Ibis morning on the south eastern side of Speucer's bntte about tbreeand one-half miles from Fischer's home tbe body was found. It was ly ing on one side In a slightly cramped position with his gun across one arm. From a hasty examination made by the searchers it was evident that Fisch er was shot through the lower part of the chin, the hall coming out al the top ol the head about the center, tear ing a large hole His hat had la-en blown Into tho tree atsive him. The body was ill good condition, being but -lightly decomposed. Win. Blanton came to town and notified Coroner W. L. Cheshire wlio went nut early this afternoon, accompanied by Un dertaker Kays. The coroner will im mediately summon a Jury on his ar rival and hold an examination. The former searchlnu parties had been within probably Oil feet of where the ho.iy was found, and It is simply by a stiauge circumstance that they failed iu their work. The foot of the hills where the body was found is very rough ground, with rnokl and thick underbrush. At this time It Is too early to state whether the death of Mr. Fischer was due to an accident or a premeditated act on his part. Probably tbe latter. To the family of the deceased as well as to his mauy friends, it is a relief that at lait aomethiug Is knowu dellultely the manner or cause of his death. As the days went by without finding any trace of the man, It was perfectly natural that various con jectures should be made, but by the lludiug of the body all is explained so far as that is concerned. 178 pounds and only two men could liaOdlS II at s I Hue.

Dally ..nam, Jan 20 Coroner Cheshire held an inquest over the body of tbe late August Flsoher yesterday afternoon. After viewing the body and sur roundings the following verdict was rendered : We, the undersigned jury called to Investigate the death of August Fischer Hud that the said August Fischer was killed on the south side of Spencer Butte, bv a guushot wound iu the bead with a gun in his own possession, but In what manner we are unable to de termine. "Dated this 19th day of January, 1900. "Signed; W Belknap, foreman; W A Blanton, T J Moxley, J S Blan ton, Isaac Blanton, E J Crow." There was a diflerence ol opinion whether it was a case of auiclde or accident. Coroner Cheshlro thought the man come to his den' 11 accidentally. Mr Cheshire said he could not have shot himself in tho side of the head by pulling the trigger with his finger, and as he had his heavy shoea on, he could not have pulled It ofl with bis foot. His hat was blown up Into a small oak grub near by. He bad both pock els filled wiih lunch wrapped up iu a paper. 1 beie were six catrldges In the rille and 17 in Oil pocket. He had a mulll-r around his throat. This would indicate that he started out for a long hunt. Another thing, the hammer continually rested on the cart ridge and he might have accidentally tired it by pulling the gun toward him by the muzzle of the Winchester rille, a 11 caliber one. The body was brought to tbe city last evening. It had lo be carried over a quarter of a mile through dense brush and was a big job, as it weighed PNIVEKSITV BOOIBTi NOTBB. 1 11 It To- lug M.-.
