Soldier A Suicide
Vancouver,July 29- Frank Weissgaber,a soldier who has been stationed at the 
barracks here for a number of years and was last spring granted a transfer 
from the Fourth to the First infantry to avois going with his regiment to the 
Phillipines,was found by Boss White early Monday morning hanging from a maple 
tree in the garrison reserve along the road which leads to the pumping 
station .He had evidently been dead but a few hours.
He disappeared some ten days ago and it is now thought that he spent the time 
in the woods on the reservation and subsisted on berries.Those who knew him 
best say that they are not surprised,inasmuch as he had intimated several 
times that he contemplated ending his life.He was known to have been 
despondent for some time and had been drinking heavily and committing minor 
offenses such as sitting down while on guard duty,etc. He left no letter of 
explanation.
