DISAPPEARED JAN. 4 AIox OutoTMn, In Doubt As to How Ho Hhould Kill In UK Question naire, Ilcllevcd to Have Taken Otrn Life. (From Wednesday's Dally.) Because he was afraid to fill out his questionnaire, it Is bcllovcd that Alex Gustovson, an employe of tho Drooks-Scanlon mill, took his own llfo on January 4. His body was ills covered In a etnai: ravrne on. tho homestead of Ole Erickson, one fourth of a mllo northeast of the brickyard lato yostcrday, when Mr. Krickson was engaged In cutting wood. Coming upon a light colored over coat hanging on a fallen tree oror a ledge, the homesteader investigated nnd discovered tho body lying at tho foot of tho ledge, which Is about 12 feet high. It was In a frozen stato and this Is probably responsible for it being so well preserved. Soma small animal had gnawed tho wrists, but othoruise only brulsos and what appears to he a bullot wound wero found. Krickson, badly frightened, notified the sheriff and an Investiga tion was immediately put under way. ltwas!earned that Gustovson had received his questionnaire from lha foul board at Emmelt, Idaho, his former home, on the morning ot Jan uary 4. Ha told his landlady that ho was going to call on the war board and cat naatatance in filling It out and probably would not be back tu time tor lunch. This was the last anyone saw of hlui until the body was brought to light yesterday. Search Previously Made. Friends hail searched for him as far as CHne Falls and reported his disappearance to Sheriff Roberts. Later they Informed him that a card had been received from Portland say ing ho was thore and would remain In tho city until dratted. At this, no further thought was given to his whereabouts. Gustovson had been worried about tho way in which ha was to fill in hht questionnaire, as ho had registered as an alien. Upon seeing tho ques tions regarding dato of arrival In tub country, means ot getting horo and others, he discovered his mistake and. that ho was really a citizen ot tho United States. This confused him and ho was at a loss as to what to do. He probably sought tho quickest way to end his doubts. Krickson said ho h?d not known of Gustovson's presence on tho home stead. Tho land Is comparatively level with tho exception of tho ledge, which Is tit tho opposlto end of tho property from which Krickson had been working. A dead tree had fall en over tho ledgo and Gustovson had hung his ovorcoat thoro. His hat was thrown undornouth it, A .32 cnllbor revolver and a small mirror woro found Just nt tho top of tho om bnnkmont. Ono chamber of tho for mer was ompty. Thoro woro four ro malnlug shots. Tho man had appar ently taken his lifo whilo sitting on tho ledgo In suoh a position that ho would drop oft onto tho sharp brok on rooks bolow. Tho head is badly hrulsod, but n dark spqt on ono tem ple Is supposed to bo whero tho bullot outored. .-Money Still On Hmly.
