Frank Cory Shoots Himself.
On last Saturday morning Frank Cory,
of Scott Valley, aged about 25 years,
shot himself just after returning home
from tbe 4th ol July ball at Fort Jones.
Tbe young man bad attended tbe celebra
tion in company with friends, and at tbe
ball during the night seemed to be in ex
cellent spirits. He arrived borne at the
Cory farm between Etna and Fort Jones
about six o’clock, and was told that
breakfast was ready. He excused biin
self and said he desired to go to his
room a moment first. Almost as soon
as he entered his room a shot wae beard
and when the family reached the young
man they found he had shot himself
through the side, tbe ball entering just
above the groin. Medical assistance was
immediately summoned from both Etna
and Fort Jones, and everything possible
was done to save tbe young man.
Mr. Cory left homeeeveral years ago to
join tbe U. 8. army, and for tbe past
three years has been stationed at Van
couver, Wash. He onlv returned to
Scott Valley a few days before the 4th.
Some of the friends of tbe young man
believe tbe shooting was accidental, but
every indication would lead to the be

intent.—Yreka Journal.
