P. H. GANTY, GROCER
CHAS.SANBECK
News of the sudden death of
Chas. A. Sanbeck at the W. P.
hospital last evening at 5 o'clock,
two hours after his admission to
the institution, was a shock to his
friend3 as well as to his many ac
quaintances in Skagway, where he
ha:l lived and worked since 1901
for the W. P. & Y. R. company as
a 'longshoreman.
Hp to Friday afternoon Mr. San
beck had been steadily at work at
tjo Cock, where he was '.oreman of
the 'loi "shoremen. At that time
he complained of not feeling well and
laid off. Going home he called
In Dr. Gable, who diagnosed his
case as an obstruction of the bowels,
due to strangulated henla, and
told him he was in a precarious
condition and would have to go to
the hospital immediately for treat
ment, and If not relieved would hav^
to have an operation performed.
The deceased refused to enter the
hospital or to undergo an operation
and Dr. Gable, after doing what he
could for him, left him in charge
of Mrs. Sanbeck.
Saturday Mr. Sanbeck was up
and around the streets, but on
Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock Dr.
Gabie was again hurriedly summon
ed and upon his arrival at the San
beck home found the unfortunate
man In great pain and apparent
ly in a dying condition.
The sufferer was at once taken
to the W. P. hospital where, as a
last resort, an operation was decided
upon, but before arrangements could
be made for its performance death
Intervened and obviated the neces
sity.
Clias. A. Sanbeck was bor n in
Stockholm, Sweden, on the 3d of
January, 1868, and came to okag
way in 1901, where he has since liv
ed. On the 16th of October, 1902,
he was married to Amelia Crot'e,
who survives him, and is the only
living relative so far an known.
Mr. Sanbeck and his wife lived
on First and Alaska streets and
lor years have signaled the firct
appearance of Skagway bound
boats 'n the offing.
Funeral services will be held
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
under the auspices of Skagway
Aerie No. 25, Fraternal Order Eag
les. Interment will bo at the

Further particulars will be given
