Corpse Sobers Just in|
Time to Escape Burial
Kenosh.—“A corpse” came to life
here Thursday facing the undertaker,
the coroner and a physician and with
the death basket waiting to receive.his
remains. Anton Gloss, 40, revived just
in time to put an end to plans for his
funeral and to demonstrate that he was
merely “dead drunk. ’
The man had been in a stupor for
two days. His aunt, after trying to
revive him, gave him up for dead. She
summoned the undertaker. The latter
brought the coroner with him, and was
preparing to put the man in the death
basket when the doctor arrived to pro
nounce him dead.
At this juncture Gloss opened his
eyes slowly and began lighting every
one in sight.
“4’m not wanted here,” said Coroner
Thomas Parker. “Call the police.”
To the police Clos3 admittad that a
moonshine lag had caused the death
like sleep. He is in jail to finish his
nap. _ __
Officers Capture Thief
Hidden in Baby Buggy
Peoria.—When officers searched the
home of John Kell Vi wanted in Indian
apolis to be sentenced in federal court
on a charge of robbing a distillery at
Terre Haute, md., they found him cud

Kelly was recently released from the
Leavenworth prison on bond.
April-22, fact, was the fifth anniver
sary of the greatest disaster in the his
• tory of Alaska mining. On the morn
ing of April .22, 1017, the big cave-in
occurred in the Treadwell mine, flood
ing it and the Seven Hundred and Mex
ican mines, the three being connected
by a series of tunnels, leaving but one
of the famous group of four, the Ready
Hullion, uninjured, and which is still
being operated. •’ Until that fateful
morning the Treadwell group of mines
constituted by far the largest quartz
mining proposition ia Alaska and prob
ably the most systematically managed
and operated mining industry on the
■ continent. The cave-in marked the be
g inning of what has since been demon
strated to be the'Steady decline of both
Douglas and Treadwell, the population
of both towns having since dwindled to
less than half of what they were for
. merly. % _

Girl’s Charge Drives
Pastor to End Life
_ !
Mars Hill, N. Y.—How the unfound
ed charge of a hysterical girl of '£
.years drove the liev. Charles Carlton,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church here, to end his life, has just
become known, and the entire com
munity was stunned Monday by t e
tragedy.
A few days ago, when the church
was being decorated for a celebrat k n,
the girl assisted in stringing wreafhs
and festoons about the edifice. The
pastor caught the girl in his arms and
saved her from a fall as she fell from a
step ladder. She ran home screaming,
and told her parents the clergyman
had puts his arms about her in an m
proper manner.
The entire community was quickly
allied against the pastor, although he
swore to his innocence by his God, His
removal was demanded, and lie found
himself the object of scorn in a com
munity where lie bad ever been shown
respect and regard.
Leaving a note declaring he vas
guilty of no offense, the minister ended
his life with a hunting rifle.
Now, faced by the note and by the
girl’s admission that her charges were
without bakis, the townspeople are
aghast at the tragedy they feel they
have caused.

of the Elks lodge of Juneau, and a
member of the Eagles and Pioneer
lodges of Fairbanks'.
