We have the sad news to narrate that Lars Jorgensen committed suicide by hanging. He was buried last Friday in the St. Paul's cemetery. If we didn't know better we would be Inclined to think that it was three different men that had committed suicide. THE PILOT has it Lewis Johnson, which name he is known by. But Louis Peterson, as the Kennard notes had it, who is he?
