Alaska Notes
Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
Quick action on the part of Deputy
U. S. Marshal C. J. Sullivan of Ilaines
Is believed to have averted a tragedy
at a dance recently held at C’nilkoot
Barracks. Private Colgrove, accord
ing to eye-witnesses, walked down the
center of the dance hall floor to his
former wife, from whorri he had been
separated for a month. His wife
asked, “What is the matter with
you?” Colgrove is said to have re
plied. “I’m going to shoot the — out
of you.” Colgrove backed away a
few paces. Colonel and Mrs. \Ym. C.
Miller and Lieutenant Opie were in
direct line of the indicated fire. Sul
livan rushed to Colgrove to secure the
gun. Colgrove pointel the weapon at
Sullivan’s stomach. Sullivan, with a
quick grasp on Colgrove's wrist, and
giving it a twist, wrenched the gun
free and it dropped to the floor, but
out of the reach of both men, and was
picked up by a bystander.

of Jack Mutehler at Fairbanks a few
weeks ago, the ceremony being sol
emnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Mutehler. The bride went to
Fairbanks from Seattle and the wed
ding occurred soon after the arrival
of the train. She met Mr. Mutehler
in Seattle whie he was operating an
amusement park there.
A wire to the Marshal’s office at
Fairbanks some days ago stated that
the body of Otto Myers was found on
Eagle creek, about ten miles from
Miler House, towards Fairbanks.
Myers was one of the i-eal pioneers
of the country. He was in the Arctic
islands beyond the Alaska coast be
fore Dawson was struck and went to
the latter camp with the stampeders.
He later went to Fairbanks. He
owned the Chena Hot Springs, but
had leased it several years ago. He
was a cook by trade and had followed
that business for the past few years
in the Circle country.
Fred Alfet, steam engineer for the
Ketchikan Spruce Mills, died sudden
ly some weeks ago of heart disease,
a few minutes after he started to
work in the mill. He started uj) the
engine, and when L. B. Robinson,
planer man, entered the room and
askeh him to turn on the power for
his department, he suddenly fell into
Mr. Robinson’s arms, dead. Afelt had
been a resident of Ketchikan for 16
years, going there from Spangle,
Wash.

village, below Dawson, a few weeks
ago, death being caused by influenza.

That Aaska volcanoes clash with

volcanoes.

recently near Frozen Antler creek
