I5o that as it may, one thing is certain, that tho two finest and fastest tugs on tho coast arc tho Astoria nnd tho Pioneer From Ynquina Bay Shocking Accident to a Brakcman.

Southwest Oregon Recorder, Sept. 2.J About 5 o'clock last Tuesday morn mg Jeff AAiIson, while on lira way to Port Orford, stopped at Milton Hunt loy's placo on Sixes river. Receiving 110 response to his knock upon tho door, ho entered tho houso and. found Hunt ley lying, upon the floor, near a bed, dead. Young AVilson immediately re turned to Divelbisa' place, not far dis tant, and informed Uiat gentleman of what ho had seen, whon together tho two returned to tho scene of horror nnd found tho unfortunate man as described The top of his head was literally shot off, and tho brains scattered over tho floor for n space of two feet. Tho body was rigid and it required considerable effort to release his hold upon the rifle ; it was therefore evident that tho fatal shot was fired at or beforo midnight. A most singular featuro in tho case was tho fabttttat41e-two youngest sons of tho suicido were in bed asleep, not two feet nwny, And were not awakened by tho report of tho riflo and bad to bo called by tho party discovering the body of their father. ' AVord was sent to Port Orford, when a Jury, composed of tho following gentlemen, proceeded to hold an inquest: P. Divelbisa, AVm. Rctz, A. P. Mann, J. AY. AA'ilson, Geo. Divel biss aud Alva Lee. Tlio jury's verdict was to tho efl'ect that deceased camo to bis death from a gunshot wound in the bead, and that ho had inflicted tho said wound whilo temporarily insane. The remains woro buried on tho premises by neighbors. It had been observed of lato that lluutloy was laboring under mental depression, and several days previous to his suicido, whilo at Nay's mill, bo remarked that ho thought the best tiling he could do, considering his troubles, presumably domestic, would bo to blow his" brains out.
