Word reached this city Thursday that Geo. Perry, who superintended the rock work in the construction of E.J. Forsythe's ditch her last spring has committed suicide near W.P. Faught's place on the Imnaha.

In the absence of the Coroner, the justice of the peace, A.C. Smith, departed for the scene to hold an inquest. It was learned that Perry had been on a protracted drunk for several days and became insane.

He escaped from his friends on the evening of November 1 and was found next morning dead, with his throat cut from ear to ear and two large pocket knives lying near where he had committed the deed. - Chieftain.

PERRY- On Nov. 14, Samuel Perry, after an illness of many months.

Mr. Perry was born in England and there received his early training. He came to America and engaged in mining in California having continued in this vocation until consumption, a fell destroyer, laid him low. Mr. Perry was a man who commanded many friends and was loved by all who chanced to become his companions. He was very spirited and always provided a sumptuous living for his wife and little ones, who are left alone to plot their own way in this world of woes. A better woman does not live than Mrs. Perry. She was cook, nurse and all and exerted every means to relieve the one she loved better than her own life. Three children mourn a father's departure, the oldest being now a young lady. Mr. Perry was stricken down in the prime of life, being only 40 years old at the time of his death. How sad that one who has just arrived at life's meridan and has a nice family around him, has to be stricken down and leave all; but we all must soon follow: our time is willed, very short and it is bearing us on nearer to the goal. One who knows, like Mr. Perry did, that his end is nearing and can be as composed as he was, must surely be happy in that hour. He often talked of death and made all worldly preparitions for it. He selected his pallbearers and infact, prepared everything that was needed for his last respects. Rev. Mr. McCart was his spiritual advisor and he seemed to be confident that a better life was awaiting him. Peace to the dead and consolenient to the loved ones left behind who know what a kind father is.
