Mr. Mills is a lover of clam soup; he thinks there is no place like Tillamook on account of her numer ous clam beds, which are inexhaustible. The boys did not think he would go, ns he whs unused to handling a bout and the tide was high and the bar rough. When they saw he was going to try it, the boys ran and called to hiui, but either he did not bear them or lie was excited, for he still pulled out. Miller was About half way out when a larije wave struck him and passed over ths boat. He was never seen again. The boat and the oars came back into the river and were picked up. The anchor was found out on a sand spit, where it is supposed the wave struck him. Miller’s parents live at Stayton, Marion Co. lfis brother tins a place up the river, and had gone out to move in ; and Roy came down here on a visit. The body has not been recovered, but the people are searching the beach ill the hope that it may be found. more thaq double that of any other paper in Tillamoo^ County. ANOTHER SUICIDE JOHN KOCH CUTS HIS OWN THROAT. Temporary Insanity On Ac count of lhiness Is the Cause. This community was greatly shocked by the occurrence of uncther suicide Sunday. Feb. 27lh Wm. Brown com mitted suicide here by cutting his throat from ear to ear with a razor. Sunday John Koch, a-> old man and respected citizen 1 esiding about three miles east of town, died by his own hand, and in the same manner. Kocli had for some time been despondent over ill health, and had informed his friends that lie did not expect to live long. He had also been known to threaten his own life and was closely watched by his wife. Sunday afternoon at about two o’clock he expressed a desire to go out for a walk. He asked his wife to accompany him, but she could not do so, and as he seemed rational at the time, he was permitted to go alone. Why he had asked liis wife to accompany him will never be known for he evidently intended to do violence to some one for be had armed himself with a strong and sharp razor. He walked about half a mile from home Io a place where lie was hidden by the bushes and sitting down I ook out liis razor and cut his right wri*t to the bone. The blood spurted out in torrents but the process was evi dently too slow to suit him for taking the knife in liis right hand he tried to never Ide left wrists which, owing to hie having severed the tendons of liis right hand lie could not do. He then took the razor in his left hand and cut his throat, severing the jugular vein. As lie did not return for over half an hour, his wife became uneasy and started out in Hearcli of him. When found, Hie bixly was still warm. Koch was a native of GerniHiiy and came to Tillamook about 13 years ago, settling down on tlie little farm where lie died. He leaves a wife and three children . Nothing is known as to tlie cause that impelled him to the deed unless it was despondency caused by ill health, or temporary Insanity induced by recent illness. The Inquest was held by Coioner Reynolds Monday, and a verdict rendered in accordance aithlhe above iaclw. The coroner’s jury consisted of R. E. Magers, Chester Holden, Wm. Tinnerstelt, Frank Sever ance, George Barton and N. Labi. The funeral took place on Monday under the direction of Mr. Letcher, who had kindly remained with the afflicted family from the time of the hnshand and fiitlier’a death. There was a huge attendance of the kind-hearted neigh bors. who had always held the deceased and his family in high esteem. Rev. Corner read the burial service. Mrs. Koch ami her children have the sympathy of everylioily in their afflic tion . Tlie Running Match Last Saturday night was tlie night of the great “Go ns You Pleas« for One Hour'’ running match. Quite a goodly number of our people went to witness the performance, which opened about 8 o'clock.
