Death Of Scott
King Accidental
Theory of Suicide la Scouted By
His Widow And
Friends.
The many old time friends of the
lcte Scott E. King in this county will
be Interested In this account of his
death, taken from the Rainier Valley
j Record of May 28:
Scott E. King, a well known min
ing man and contractor and the man
who built Rainier Boulevard, rented
a rowboat at Lechl park last' Frl.
i day afternoon about 3 o'clock, and a
couple of hours later the craft was
found floating near the old pumping
station. In the boat was found two
coats and an overcoat, the property
of Mr. King,
It was close to 2 o'clock when Mr,
I King appeared at the Leschi boat
house. He lingered there, talking
'and chatting for about an hour and
was apparently In the best of health
and spirits at the time.
For a year past Mr. King had not
been In good hea'.th. He suffered
from nervousness. He was about 50
years of age. Mrs. King is some
hia iunlor. There are two
children, Dopald, a boy of three and
a half years, and Joyce, a baby girl,
age thirteen months.
The King home at Rainier Beach
Is one of the handsomest there. The
house Is an expensive one and well
furnished. The library contains some
choice books, moH of the newest
fiction and much that Is along the
new line of progressive thought
The grounds are beautifully laid out
and command a fine view of Lake
Washington. There is no question
that Mr. King's home life was an
lldeal one.
