K. H. Brown Committe.l
Suicide io California
R. II. Brown, formerly of this city,
whose pistol killed body was discovered
near Oroville, Cal., early this month,
under circumstances that pointed to
foul plav. was a suicide rather than a
murderer's victim as was at first be
lieved. The details concerning the
death of Mr. Brown are contained in a
letter from James M. Chubbuck. of
Butte county, California, received by
Phil Abrahams, of this city, this mora
ine. Writing under date of July 19
from Oroville, Cal , Mr. Chubbuck
says:
"Referring to your inquiry of the 1 .th
inst. regarding the death of R. H.
Brow a, will state that Brown com
mitted suicide by shooting himself in
the head while standing in a pool of
water. He came toOroville right after
the San Francisco fire, having some
mining claims in the mountains near
here. He stayed at a little loiging
house in this city, and in conversation
with the proprietor of the same, he
stated that he had mining interests in
Alaska, and had parties interested in
same who had agreed to stake him to
go North, but the disaster in the City
had knocked out all his plans He had
very little money and a week before ho j
died ran out of funds altogether. He
asked and wa-s granted permission to
keep his bed, stating that he could
make out regarding his meals and ex
pec ted a check from somewhere most
?ny day, and would then settle for his
bed. A day or so before he died he
visited a mining brokers office in this
city and tried to interest him in his
Butte County mining property, but
failed to do so, the broker pronouncing
his property valueless. He was last
seen alive about 16 hours before the
finding of his dead body, but gave no
intimation that he contemplated ending
his life. fie must have placed the
pistol right against his forehead as it
blew an awful hole in the same and the
bullet was found in his head The fact
that the pistol with which he com
mitted the act could not be found caus
ed some rumor of murder, but the dis
appearance of the gun can easily be ac
counted for. The place he selected to
end his life was a narrow gorge caused
by the throwing up of gravel from the
gold dredgers and was filled with water (
in which a man could easily drown.
The gravel pile rose almost perpen
dicular to a height of 20 feet close to !
where he stood when he committed the j
act, and was continually slipping into !
the water, and completely covored the !
gun after he dropped it. We endeavor- :
ed to recover it but as fast as we cleared
the gravel from the bottom it would
fail in from the top, so we gave up the
attempt. His coat and vest were care
fully folded an) with his shoes and
stockings were lying on the top of the
gravel pile. The Coroner's jury re
turned a verdict of death from a gun- j
shot wound inflicted by his own hand.
1 do not know as the Coroner located I
any of bis relatives, but think not.'' I

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.

Caused by ? Germ.
Science Is donlg wonders these days In
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for Which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
:essful cure until Newbro's Herplcide was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
calp to get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality: causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and Anally baldness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
It is the only destroyer of dandruff.

Vermont, and in the ">Sth year of his j
age. When reaching his majority in (
1869 he followed Horace Greeley's ad- j
vice and started west, locating in Wis- j
consin, where he reared a family of I
seven children, all of whcm are living j

Badger state.
The great Klondike stampede of 1897 j
took him up and swept him in its course |
to the Dawson creeks where he mined |
and prospected until the Tanana dis
covery called him back to the domain o
his native country. He arrived in
Fairbanks in 190-1 and has worked in
the mines and prospected the bills and
creeks of that country since that time.
He was nominated for Alaska's first del
egate to congress by a convention of
the miners of the Xanana valley last

"Irregular actii nof the kidneys caused
me a great deal of trouble for more
than two years. The kidney secretions

had more or less pain in my back and (
stooping or lifting hu-t me. I used >
majy remedies said to be good for this (
trouble, but obtained little relief for 5
this trouble until I bought Doan's Kid- j

first, and in a short time the kidney <j
