UEATH OF SCOTT
KING ACCIDENTAL
(Continued from First page.)
first stated in the dally papers.
Every one of Mr. King's Rainier
Beach friends scout the theory of
suicide. W. S. Danner. than whom
no one is better able to judge the
dead man, does not for a moment en
tertain the belief of Mr. King taking
his own life. Many other well-known
business men of this section have ex
pressed themselves as being unable
to unravel the mystery but they do
not believe It was a case of self
destruction. In speaking of the sad affair, Mrs.
King said: "I will not believe the
report, and It seems cruel to even
intimate such an action to sa'gooi
and honorable a man. Mr. King has
always been a model husband and to
his children he was the most loving
and tender of fathers. He hod not
x thought outside of his family and
uome. I never knew such a home
nan. We have never had a dlffer-

me and the children upon leaving us

who ljves his family so devotedly

When Mrs. King was asked wheth-
ir her husband was in-bad health,
Ae answered: "Just about a year
Mgo It was In June Mr. King took
a trip to Alaska. He was a passenger
jn the Umatilla, when for twelve

mposslble It would have been foi

Mrs. King was a3ked whether she
tnew how Mr. King came to go away
mt to Leschl park, take a boat and
;o boating alone, when he was not
eellng well.
"Why," said Mrs. King gently

"Mr. King, in my opinion, hid i.c

That was an accident and came from
a suggestion, rne Doameeper '
Leschl Park noticed Mr. King playinf
wltli some children and laughing and
Jesting with them. He was always
fond of children. After a while he
turned to Mr. King and asked him
whether he would like to go out In
a boat. It was a lovely day. Mr,
.Clng had taken the car up there for
recreation. He thought for a mom
ent, hesitated, and then decided to
so out on the lake. It was not really

Therefore, I feel that when Mr. King
started out he had no idea that we
would not meet again. Something
happened to him. Just what, may
always remain a mystery. Mr. King

business relations with him in conse
quence thereof.
When asked over the . phone by a
representative of this paper as to the
truth of his being a party to the at
tack, the Joseph business man denied
emphatically having had anything to
do with it. He said he passed the place
of sale twice during the evening and
stopped only as a spectator. He said
the people were opposed to the sale
bacause Wheat had brought the rem
nant of his Enterprise stock up there
to sell in competition with the home
merchants. He said the trouble was
caused by some young fellows who
went there to "have some fun,'1 but
when called down by the auctioneer,
started In to make trouble. They
threatened to rotten egg the auctlon
esr and would have done so if given a
chance, said the business man, who
also claims the auctioneer was very
abusive of the town.
Of Interest to Farmers and Me
chanic. Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and injur
ies which cause them much annoy-
i ance and loss of time. A cut or
bruise may be cured in about one
third the time usually required, by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment as
soon as the injury is received. This
liniment is also valuable for sprains,
soreness of the muscles and rheu
matic pains. There is no danger of
blood poisoning resulting from an
Injury when Chamberlain's Liniment
Is applied before the parts become
