Blew Top Of Head Off
Rancher Near Boring Grows Despondent and Committs Suicide
Sam Schwartz,a rancher of Boring,Clackamas County,killed himself Monday night 
by blowing off the top of his head with a shotgun.Coroner Finley returned from 
the place yesterday,after holding an inquest.
Schwartz was suffering from a cancer which he believed to beincurable.In a fit 
of despondency he went to his barn,held his head over an old fashioined 
squirrel gun of the muzzle loading type and touched off the trigger with his 
foot.Death must have been instantaneous. The deceased left a wife and two 
children.
