Cigardealer Is Found
Dead by His Clerk
Who Returns to Jhe
Store at Noon
Financial . Troubles Held to Be
the Only Possible Reason for
the Action of Man Well Known
to theTrade by LongxperU
, . ence as a Dealer. -
Herman Bach, a cigar dealer at 1ST
Tamhlll street, waa found dead with a
bullet hole through hla head at noon to
day. . Every Indication points to suicide,
though the reason for such an action is
a mvstery, even his most intimate
frlCnda holding It unaccountable.
Scarcely a man in the city waa better
known, to tbe cigar and tobacco trade
than waa Herman Bach. Outside of the
trade the fact that he conducted cigar
stores in - Portland for more than 20
years shows the number of acquaint
ances he had. For yeara he had a stand
at Flrat and- Morrison, then at Fifth and
Morrison, from which he moved- to Tam
hlll street when tbe construction of the
Corbett building began. Before going
into business for himself he traveled
through -this territory for a cigar house.
An hour before his body ' was found
Mr. Bach spoke of business aa being
alow, but appeared to be la-his usual
spirits. - It Is said to ba possible that
financial troubles Induced him e take
his llfo. , At his home at 114 North Sev
en teehth street are his widow ami two
children, a boy and a girl. It Is said
his family life waa a happy one.
, ,. M.UtAl L T: Holland, day clerk In
the store, returned to relieve Mr. Bach,
who had been working on the counter
for over an hour.. Finding no one be
hind the counter aa usual, Holland went
Into the back room, supposing Mr. Bach
bad stepped into it for a moment His
hat waa near the counter. .-,
After a moment the clerkre eyas be
came accustomed to the change from
the bright sunlight and he saw the form
of Mr. Bach sitting on the floor with
his back against the wall. . '

' Apparently the cigar dealer had gone
Into -the back room and had placed the
musxle of the revolver In bis mouth.
The bullet went through the brain, com
ing out through tha top of the head.
' Holland Immediately notified Charles
Klrchner of the Turn Halle saloon, who
waa one of tboae who saw Bach every
day, and had been In bis store less
than an hour before. Coroner Flnley
was called. ' The coroner aaya that ao
far aa he can see bow no inquest will
be necessary.
Herman Bach was about 55 years old
and waa a man of considerable edu
cation. He waa of a studious nature,
a great reader and paid tbe strictest at
tention to his business.
To several people Mr. Bach recently
spoke of tbe changed conditions In the
cigar trade, emphasising the fact that
most of the business Is now In the con
trol of eeveral large companlea. He
spoke of tbe difference In cigar stores
nd of the fact that It waa lmpoaalble
to sell at a profit some brands called
for. He kept one man traveling en the
road for his store and employed two
clerks.
