'"*l|^Bfg.Sl^^P -J .,--1 fl SUICIDE Henry Hanson, of Rainy Lake City, Shot Himself in the Head, Tuesday Night. International Palls, March 21. (Special to the Pioneer.)De spondent and rejected, as a re sult of over-indulgence in intoxi cating liquors of late, Henry Hanson, a cruiser and locater living three miles south of Rainy Lake City, Minn., shot himself Tuesday night, death resulting instantaneously. Hanson had lived in the vicinity of International Falls and the Rainy River country for many years, and was a welt-known char acter in this part of the state. For some time past, he has lived on his claim, south of Rainy Lake City. More recently, Charles Irish and another man whose name is unknown, have lived with Hanson. The later has been de spondent for some time, and has made many threats of self de struction. Nothing unusual was noticed in Hanson'8 demeanor Tuesday evening, and he retired as usual. It is believed that he shot him self at about 12 o'clock Tuesday night. He took his rifle from the wall and went a short dis tance from the shack, where he shot himself in the back of the neck, the bullet ranging upward and emerging from the face. It is presumed that Hanson, who has exceptionally long arms, placed the muzzle of the rifle against the back of his neck and pulled the trigger, the contents of the gun doing its deadly work only too well. Death resulted instantly. Hanson's companions in the shack came to International Falls and notified the authorities of Hanson's rash act. Coroner Eensler went to the scene of the suicide and determined that no inquest was necessary, the de ceased coming to his death by his own hands. MRS.
