SUICIDE.
(FKESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) HOKOTKA, December 26. An elderly man named Chas. Bonckha, formerly a miner, was found dead, having hanged himself in a room in his cottage in Sale street. He had been dead some hours. His toes had been touching the floor, and he could easily have saved himself if he repented of his resolution. He was rather eccentric in his manner at times, but there was no reason to suspect a disposition to self-destruction. He was a single man, and his place was scrupulously clean. He was supposed to be a man of some means.
