SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

Per Press Association. Christchurch, Oct. 27. The body of Peter Tokareff, aged 43, instructor of wood classes at the Technical College, was found on a seat in Hagley Park with a discharged shot gun lying beside him. Deceased had evidently fired the gun with the mnzzle in his mouth as his head was badly shattered. Deceased was believed to be a native of Russia. His behaviour lately was eccentric, and last night he had a quarrel with boarders at his boarding house and inflicted slight injuries on them with a knife.
