John Kohler, 46 years of age, and
for many years a resident of Homer,
died some time during the night of
April 15 from the effects of strangu
lation, self-inflicted, according to.the
Seldovia Herald.
The suicide, the Herald explains,
was committed in a room which Koh
ler rented over the Blue Fox Cafe
and the body was discovered late on
the afterpoon of the following day by
John Colburn, the proprietor of the
building.
A cord, supplemented by a wire,
had been attached to the bed add
looped around the man's neck. He
evidently had deliberately dropped
toward the floor, allowing the cord
and wire to become taut.
Kohler was known to ’be fairly
prosperous, owning ,a 160<acxe home
stead at Homer, and last year fished
at a profit. It is reported that-he had
spoken of a bad heart condition, so
some think the idea of failing health
may have preyed on his mind, but no
authentic reason has been offered
that would explain the act.
The fund which is being -collected
for the purpose of stocking pheasants
and other game birds in the Anchor
age and adjacent districts is assum
ing very satisfactory proportions,
many contributions having come in
following the announcement that
such such a movement had been in
augurated focdlfy, says the Anchor
age Times. Not only are hunters and
fishermen contributing, but also per
sons whose only interest in the mat
ter is their love of game life.
Publication in various newspapers
recently of .an item stating that
Frank Cleary, Fairbanks pioneer, had
seen Swiftwater Bill Gates, famous
character in the early days of the
Klondike, at LaPaz, Bolivia, in. 1923,
has brought from J. K Burnett, Se
attle attorney, information to the ef
fect that “Swiftwater Bill” is now
mining, with excellent prospects of
