HE WAS DROWNED IN BOOZE
ONLY DAMPENED IN WATER
SAILOR WA8HED ASHORE FROM THE HAYDEN BROWN DID NOT
DIE AS REPORTED, BUT TU RNS UP DUCEDLY DRUNK IN
THE TACOMA MUNICIPAL BASTILE
Karl WosU'iiuml. a sailor, who
at last reports was K*ft dead on
the beach of Montague island, oil*
Prince Wi. iain sound, Alaska, af
ter the barge Ilayden Brown was
dashed to pieern on that rocky
coast, made a spectacular reap
pearance at Tacoma yesterday,
when he rolled out of a police pa
trol auto and into the police sta
tion, where he was instantly re
cognized as an old offender of
alcoholic propensities. Too in
toxicated to talk intelligently,
Westerlund was just able to ad
mit that he was the same man
who was left for dead on the is
land shore, and to declare inco
herently that he had heen saved
by the Indians.
When the Ilayden Brown was
cut loose from the tng Pioneer
and dashed on the Montague is
land rocks on May 12, Westerlund
and August Palmer, two sailors
on the barge, were the only two
mull to reach shore alive. Palmer
was rescued six days later by the
lighthouse tender Anueria, and
Jater arrived in Seattle on the
steamship Admiral Sampson, the
Anneria having run ashore after
picking up the castaway. Palmer
declared that Westerlund died af
ter getting ashore from the
wrecked barge. His death was
presumed to have resulted from
cold and exposure and injuries
sustained in landing through the
surf.
At the Taeoma jail the sobriety
of Westerlund is being awaited
eagerly by those who desire to
hear the tale of liis adventures
after being picked up by the na
tives on the bleak island. Ap
parently he came south from
Alaska either by working his
passage or as a stowaway, with
out bothering In make known his
identity. Why Palmer reported
him dead also remains to be
learned.-Seatlie Times.

Leaving Cannery
An American, said to be known
only by the name of Frank, stab
bed to death by the Japanese
foreman of the Northwestern
Fisheries company cannery at
Dundas bay at midnight Sunday,
and Thomas Costello, a Mexican
cannery hand, lying in St. Ann
hospital with a gunshot wound in
his right lung, are incidents in
connection with the first murder
case to be reported in many
months, details of which were
brought to Juneau yesterday af
ternoon. Says an eye witness to
the killing: j
"The murder was committed at
I In? conclusion of a healed dispute
between this fellow whom we all
knew as 'Frank,' and the Jap
foreman, who is in charge of the
cannery's Jap crew. It seems that
Frank was under contract lo work
at I he cannery during the sum
mer. Becoming dissatisfied at
working for $50 a month along
side of the Japs, Frank determin
ed u> steal away to Iloonah on a
launeh Sunday night. His plans
were evidently communicated lo
the foreman. At the cannery
float, just a few minutes before
Frank had intended leaving, the
foreman accosted him. What the
argument was I don't know. I
know that Frank was stabbed
lw?ce, the first thrust of the long
knife being fatal. The wound was
in the neck. The Jap then Stab
bed Frank again in the bacP as
the mortally wounded man was
falling. A number of Frank's fel
low workers, among them being
Coslello, rushed to the dock lo
disarm the murderer. Casting
aside his knife, the slayer drew
a gun and fired at random into
the crowd. Cost olio's lung was
p.erced. Superintendent John

Prospector
Nelson mustered a force of men
and with ritles taken from the
company store subdued the Jap
disturber, who by this time was
surrounded by a score of his
countrymen. The murderer
would have been taken in custody
at once, but it was feared a race
war would have broken out that
night and what might have hap
pened in that event is a matter
of conjecture. The body of the
dead man was removed to a build
ing and locked up. The Santa
Ilita set out early in the morning
for Juneau with Costello."

whose name is O. Ito, guilty of
murder in the lirst degree.
NEARLY LOSE
THEIR LIVES
Boundary 8urvey Party Are
Thrown Into Waters by Break
ing of Ice Jam
Asa C. Baldwin reached Dan
crock June 25th with his party of
boundary survey workers and
proceeded toward the head wa
ters of the Chitina to co-operate
with Mr. Eaton's party, now in
I hat lield. Mr. Baldwin's work
|on this trip was particularly haz
ardous owing to light hut con
tinuous falls of snow up to as late
as July 10.
The high water in Scolai creek
and the upper Nixina caused con
siderable delay, the ice backing
up Ihi' water and then coming
down with lightning speed with
the break-up of the jam. On one
occasion an ice jam gave way
while the entire party were cross
ing the river and they only reach
ed the shore with the greatest
difficulty.
Mr. Baldwin speaks in the very
warmest terms of the undaunted
courage of the men of his party,
who did a lot of perilous moun
tain climbing in the Scolai moun
tains without ever flinching. The
foggy weather proved a great
drawback in taking observations,
and the party was considerably
later arriving here than they ex
pected. In the upper Chitina it is
expected that the work will be
completed early in September and
that both parties will reach Mc
Carthy about Seofpmher 11

Fortymile region is a good quart/1
field, A. NV. Kendall plans to go
into the district again this fall.
Kendall is a recent arrival in
Fairbanks, having reached here
from Dawson on the steamer
Robert Kerr, which pulled into
Chena several days ago. Kendall
is an old-time Fortymiler and is
now renewing acquaintanceship
with other Fortymilers in the
Fairbanks district.
Kendall, together with \V. R.
Smith, has been prospecting and
trapping on I,adue creek in the
head of the Fortymile basin, for
three or four years. Last win
ter, while out trapping they came
upon an outcrop that looked fa
vorable to them. Going back to
camp they procured a few short
drills and several sticks of pow
der and returned to the outcrop
ping. With little effort they un
covered the ledge, but were not
able to determine its width.
Samples were removed from the
lode and taken to Dawson, where
assays developed that the rock
had a value of about $20 to the
ton. Not until the result of as
says of rock sent to Han Fran
cisco is known, will plans for de
finite development work on the
claims be started.-Fairhanks

WANT WIRELESS
IN THE YUKON
The early summer,s forest fires
,in I lie Yukon, destroying miles of
tin* telegraph wires, has caused
Ihf people to ask that I he wire
less system be installed. Says
Ili«' iJawson N<*ws:
The board of-trade has adopted
a resolution favoring the instal
lation of a wireless telegraph sys
tem throughout lln> Yukon terri
tory as a guarantee of uninter
rupted roiiimunieation with the
outside. Tile recent fires in the
Yukon forests have demonstrated
I lie unreliability of the present,
service, and it. is the hope of
Dawsonites that the government
can bo induced to install the more
modern system.
II is estimated that fully 50
miles of telegraph poles were
burned by the forest tires which
raged along the Yukon. Breaks
in the wires occurred at several
places and repairsw ere impossi
ble, while the fires burned near
the line.
