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. PRICE «2.00 THE YEAR HARBOR BUDGET LEAVES OUT BAY Advices from Washington, D.
