Eudress, Charley
Reading Independent, Oct 24, 1878
SHOT HIMSELF
To-day, a few minutes before 12 o'clock, a report was on the streets
that Charley Eudress, a German, who within up to a short time
had been keeping the Verandah House saloon, had shot and killed
himself. A reporter of the "People's Cause" at once repaired to
that locality and found a large crowd collected on the verandah
at the north-east corner of the house. The body lay where it had
fallen, while the walls and floor were spattered with the blood,
teeth and portions of the face of the unfortunate man. Thus far
it has not been ascertained whether the shooting was accidental
or intentional, as the Coroner's inquest has not yet been held.
The charge went in just back of the point of the chin, and it
appears that the head must have been thrown back, as the entire
face and a portion of the head was shot away, probably leaving
the back part of the head intact. A portion of the charge from
the shot-gun, with which the shooting was done, lodged in the
ceiling overhead, which seems to prove this theory correct.
Charley Eudress located in Shasta about the year 1853. He was employed
for several years in Charles Boell's bakery, afterwards superintending
a mining ditch for Lewin & Baehr; and subsequently engaged
in merchandising at Piety Hill, Shasta County. In about 1871 he
came to this place, being employed at the Tremont, and afterward
with Chris Heider of Tehama. Charles Mahler, by whom the deceased
has been employed at different times, says that he can ascribe
no cause for the act, if it is suicide, as he does not think he
was embarrassed to any great extent financially.
