Deceased lived with a woman named Urqiihurt, and from a statement made by her it appears that Page left the house shortly before cloven o'clock for the purpose of attending the Police Court. About nn hour afterwards the woman noticed that he had not taken his hat, and on making a search of the house slut found a scrap of paper lying on the table with these words written on it: "Good-bye, Mary; Cod help you." The woman became alarmed, and, going out into the back yard, she saw Puge hanging by his neck from one of the rafters under the house. She imme diately called out for help, and a man named Hansen, who happened to be passing atithe time, went to her assistance and cut the rope by which Page (who wan quite dead) was hanging. Deceased was to have appeared at the Police Court this morn ing to answer a charge of obscene language, but, as he did not appear, the case was adjourned tili Tuesday. An inquest will probably be held on the body on Monday.
