DEMENTED MAN
IS SUICIDE HERE
With the upper half of his face and
part of his head blown off with a shot
gun, the body of G. G. Rhinehamer
was found early Sunday morning at
the basement entrance to the Meth
odist church on Second avenue east.
The body was discovered by a son
of Simpson Hamrick, pastor of the
church, when he went down to build
the fire in the furnace early in the
morning, Noticing a trickle of blood
coming under the door to the entrance
he wen to investigate. Coroner Hen-
kle was immediately notified and hur-
ried to the scene. He pronounced it
suicide.
Rhinehamer, who was about 34
years of age had been living at Ne
tarts for several months, and was
apparently insane. Sheriff Aschim
and his deputies had spent the great
er part of Saturday afternoon and
night searching for the man after
having been informed by the man’s
neighbors that he was acting queerly.
It has practically been established
that Rhinehamer killed himself Sat
urday evening between 11:30 and 12
o’clock as the shot was heard by aev-
eral residents near the church.
As no relatives have yet been )o-
cated the body is being held at the
morgue.

Show Substantial Gains by
School Census
Figures given out this week by
County School Superintendant G. B.
Lamb indicate that there are 3,675
school children living within Tilla
mook county this year. The census
is taken of children between the ages
of four and twenty years.
The census was taken of the county
last October 25 from a consolidation
of the district clerks’ reports. The
reports show 1,895 boys and 1,780
girls. A gain of 11.8 per cent was
made over the 1923 census.
Lacking only 14 children to be
rated as a first class school district,
the Tillamook city district has 986
children of school age.
The Neskowin school district, Num
ber 18, has doubled its school popula
tion within the past year, and the
following districts have shown in
creases: Fairview, South Prairie, Man
zanita, Oretown, Pleasant Valley,
Woods, Meda, Dolph, Sandlake, Long
Prairie, Balm, Blaine, Mohler, Faucett
Creek, Castle Rock, Riverdale, Union,
Johnson, Bowlder, Barnsdale, East
Creek, Neskowin, and Silver Falls.
In twelve rural districts the popula
tion has remained stationery or has
decreased.
The towns of Tillamook, Garibaldi,
Bay City, Nehalem, Wheeler, Pacific
City, Rockaway, and Beaver have
shown substantial increases. Twelve
and a half per cent is the amount of
increase in town schools in Tillamook
county over 1923.
