Titcomb, did not commit suicide as Indicated by a "suicide note" said to have been found on the banks of the Ogden river and sent to the local chief of police, was expressed yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Titcomb of Davenport, la.. parents of the missing: youth on their return from Montello, Nev. The father and mother in the search for their son visited the ranch of the Utah Construction company at Montello, where he had worked, and found a trunk, violin and other articles belonging to him there. It was also learned that young Titcomb had a suitcase in his possession when he left for Ogden. This is held to disprove the statement In the suicide note that he had given away everything except a bible and army discharge papers. A card hearing the name of a girl In Reno, Nev. was found among the boy's effects and this leads to the belief that he may have gone to that city. Mr. and Mrs. Titcomb will continue their search in Reno and return to Ogden to renew it here if the missing youth Is not found there.
