The place ‘s very dark at nicht, wnd the search was econducted rather imper- fectly., Nothing was found to give aclew fo the matter, ami the oflicer abandoned his quest. While the firivg of the shot in this direction is of course no certain evidence that i was Mr. Coolbaugh who was attempting, at this earl Tiour, to put an cnd to his lfe, it 1s burcly possi- ble that euch may have been the fact.

THE QUESTION SUGGRSTRD ITSELF tamany why Mr. Coolbaugh ahould select the Douzlna montment as the place for putting an end to his life. To some, the fact was concin- rive evidence of aberration. To others, 1t seemed as if he had started to go to Mr, Fuller's touse, and accldentally entered the grounds, and took a seat on the ll('?, and suddeniy de- termined to shoot himsell.
