Peter P. S alquist, a Pow ell Valley
farm er, was found han g in g by a rope
from a beam In th e a ttic of one of
the o utbuildings on his farm som e
time a fte r 10 M onday m orning,
March 20. H e was last seen by his
family at 8 :30 th a t m orning.
The first in tim atio n th a t th e fam i­
ly had th a t so m eth in g w as w rong
was when a n ote was found on the
table in th e house ab o u t 10 o’clock
th a t m orning.
I t w as w ritte n in
Swedish by Mr. S alq u ist and said
"Good-bye to all, I ’m going. _ A
bunch of keys w as lying beside it-
No one was in th e house w hen it was
placed there.
Mrs. S alquist, as soon as she
found th e note, ra n to th e woods,
where th e son, C arl, and a son-in-
law, w ere c u ttin g wood. T he son, as
soon as he heard w h at had happened,
went to search fo r his fa th e r. He
went to th e w orkroom th a t w as only
used by Mr. S alq u ist w ho alw ays kept
it locked w ith a sp rin g lock. The
keys found on th e ta b le belonged to
this lock, and th e door w as found
unlocked. H e discovered his f a th e r ’s
body hanging by a rope from the
rafters with his toes to u ch in g the
floor.

Mr. Salquist m u st have unlocked
the door of th e w orkroom and ta"ken
the keys to th e house, and leaving
them th e re w ith th e note, re tu rn e d

M. M. Squires, th e d ep u ty sheriff,
was one of th e first ones to reach the
scene. He took ch a rg e and se n t to
Portland fo r th e coroner, an d D eputy
Coroner, M arion F au lk , answ ered the
summons. Upon his a rriv a l, he pro­
nounced it a plain case of suicide.
Just w hat w as th e reason for his
com m itting suicide is not know n u n ­
i t - s he had become m elancholy from
poor health.
At th e tim e of his
death, he could not have been said
to be in poor h e a lth b u t he w as not
well enough to w ork eith er.
Mrs.
S alquist said he had been suffering
from erysipelas fo r a n u m b e r of
years and th a t he had acted very
queer lately. C arl S alquist said th e
fath er had stood a t th e window th a t
m orning and w atched him go out to
the woods to w ork w ith o u t saying
a; vthing. A ccording to th e fam ily,
he disappeared from hom e a couple
of years ago w ithout te llin g anyone
where he had gone and re tu rn e d of
his own free will. T he act could not
have been caused by m oney m a tte rs
as a neighbor said th a t he had al­
ways had plenty of m oney and a w al­
let was found on his person th a t con­
ta in e d $120 in bills.
A w atch, a
knife and a coin pocketbook was also
found. T here w ere no papers found
but th e coro n er expects to find some
hidden on his person w hen th e body
is exam ined m ore carefully.
P eter P. S alq u ist was n ea rly 68
years of age w hen h e died. H e and
