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.

doing some good work training these
fine days. The track is in a fine
condition and the way things look
now O. A. C. will put out a winning
team this year.
As I walked out around the col
lege farm yesterday I noted many
things of interest. -The air was
full of fragrance from the blossom
ing fruit trees of many kinds. The
grafts which the Seniors had put
in some tree stubs were beginning
to grow and po was the alfalfa
across the road. The field ef vetch
and rye was almost ready to begin,
on for soiling purposes, while
another field was being prepared to
receive peas and rye for later feed

Editor Gaztte: In order to
make a complete exhibit of the re
sources of Benton count' at the
Lewis and Clark Fair, the com
mittee wishes to get samples of wool
both fine and long and mohair.
For exhibits of length, locks one
inch to one-half inch in diameter
will do. We wish to get as many
samples as possible this spring in
order to have them prepared and
mounted and arranged in time. If
the name of the grower is tied to
tbe sample it will appear with it in
the exhibit. We shall be glad to
get larger samples of anything fine,
such as whole fleeces or goat hides
with fleece, either washed or dyed.
Such samples will be carefully pre
served and returned. Samples may
be left at S. L. Xline's or probably
with any buyer in Corvallis -
