K. of R. & SUICIDE IN KINGS VALIEY. 'An Old Resident Kills Himself With a Shotgun. Rr M. McConnell, "who has been living in Kings Vallev "for the past twelve years, was found dead in his room Wednesday alter- noon about one o'clock, with the back of his head blown off, the weapon used being a shotgun. Io company with his wife and two vouop- men, Mr. McConnell was sitting on the front porch of his residence. He asked the young men to go and water his horses; which they did Then without a word to his wife he turned and went into the house. Mrs. Mc Connell was startled a moment later and upon entering his room found him as above. - - Coroner Wilkins was imme diately notified, and as the facts pointed to suicide "Mr. Wilkins notified Justice of the Peace Price, of Kings Valley, to investigate the matter and if necessary an inquest wonldbe held, but as the facts show a clear case of sclfde struction no inquest was held. Mr. McConnell was 6o years of age, and a former resident of Albany. He had been in poor health for some time and the rash act was committed when in a fit of despondency. Additional O. A. C. Notes.
