Commits Suicide
 
Ira Corbit, who disappeared from his home at French, Idaho, Tuesday, was found 
in a vacant cellar on the Harvey Wright place with his head blown off by a 
shotgun, Thursday noon.
 
Mr. Corbit left his home Tuesday carrying a shotgun, but his family, thinking 
he had gone to visit a neighbor, did not become alarmed when he failed to 
return home in the evening, but on Wednesday a searching party was organized, 
headed by Sheriff Jeffries and the body was found after a 24 hours search.  
The body was taken to Payette Thursday evening by Coroner Knight, but no 
inquest was held as it was a plain case of suicide.  Financial difficulties is 
given as the cause for the rash act.
 
Deceased was about 60 years of age and owner of the Corbet Mercantile store at 
French.  He is survived by a widow and eight children.
