TURK, OP THIS CITY, COMMITS SUICID& On last Thursday evening about 7 o'clock and 20 minutes the citizens of this quiet town were thrown into a fever of excitement by the announ cement that E. E. Turk had shot himself. At the time the shot was fired we were setting in front of the Hotel and Mr. Williamson called our attention to the pistol report, and at the same time H. Eitanislasky stepped to the store door and called for help and Messrs. Bryer, Woolsey and T. Howard being near were soon at the side of the dying man. "We arrived- on the spot at about the same in stant and found Ned lying at full length on the floor, in the room in the rear of the store room. He was bleeding fearful, and pools of blood were near his head, and in less than 15 minutes his spirit had passed to its maker. On examination it was ; found that the ball had entered his j riShfc teml1 & passed through the brain causing almost instant death. The particulars show that he had been much depressed all day and in the evening was in the" store at his desk and after a deep study of a few minutes passed to the room at the end of the store, aud while passing Stanislawsky asked him how he felt ' and received the answer 'no bettter'. He opened the door, went in, shut the door and soon after fired the fa- talshot. Mrs. i'urk and Stanislaws- ky were the only ones in the store at the time. A corners jury was sum moned and after taking testimony rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The following letter explains its self: Canyon City April 29th, G:30 A.M.

I have not yet examined the wound thor. oughly and would not bo able to de scribe the wound of the deceased, with out firther examination I will pro ceed and make ai examination, if you desire. The witness then proceeds to exam ine the wound and gives tho following description of the same: Upon examination of the wound of deceased, I find that a ba'l h:is enter ed the skull at a point on the right side, corresponding to tho articulation of the frontal, temporal and parietal bones; ranging obliquelo upward and backward, traversing the ceirebrum, maki g its exit on the loft side of the head at a point of the parietal bone at about its central portion. I find the skull to be crushed be tween the points of entrance and ex it. I find from appearances that the weapon was discharged at or very near the head; the hair and scalp &bowi ig evidence of powder burn. I am satisfied that this wound caus ed the death of the deceased.

Fdrt Hrtrm-y was established and has bfe'en maintained with reference to the Malheur Indian Agency. The Bannock, Piiito war of the Summer of 1878, resulting iri the removal of the Pifxtes or' Snakes from thei" Rt'aerva tion to the country north of the Colum bia rivtfr, has entirely changed tho as pect of affairs in the vicinity of Fort Haruey and Harney vulley. After m-st careful inquiry I am satisfied that there is scarcely an Indian left on the Malheur Reservation. A number of citizens of Canyon City informed rue that they had repeatedly passed through the Agency 5'nd other portions' of the Reservation without j-eeing an Indian. A good evidenee that there re no Indians left in that country is the fact that'the gsme, especially deer, i the region between Fort Harney and Canyon City, at.d J.hence through the mQ Mminmin t. lUknr Ctv (th- rolKe over wuic), j travelled has been more if.,1 this year than has ever l00ii known before.
