RICHARD WILKOWSKE MISHICOTT MAN IS A SUICIDE
Report From Hurley is Doubted by Family Who Wants Inquiry
Body of Wilkowsky is Enroute Here
Reported a suicide at Montreal, a settlement near Hurley, this state, the body of Richard Wilkowsky, a former Mishicott man, has been shipped here for burial at Mishicott. No details of the tragedy are known and owing to the mystery which surrounds the case, relatives will demand a thorough investigation by Hurley authorities. News of Wilkowsky's death reached here by dispatch saying the body had been forwarded and the certificate gives the cause of death as suicide. Hurley is situated in one of the worst sections of the state and is notorious for its lawlessness and because of this fact, relatives of the dead man want an inquiry. Wilkowsky was engaged as a railway contractor and was at Montreal to negotiate a contract for a quantity of railroad ties needed in his work and it is presumed had a considerable amount of money with him and relatives believe it possible he may have met with foul play. Mr. Wilkowsky was 35 years of age and unmarried. He was well known at Mishicott and that section of the county. He had been absent from the village for some years and was successful in his profession. His parents reside at Mishicott and several brothers and sisters also survive. The news of the death was a great shock to the family who can ascribe no reason for suicide, if this was the cause of death. The body will reach here this afternoon and burial will be at Mishicott tomorrow.
