gence forces us tdifecord at last that our
townsman, Frank = Belcher, the first to
go from here to the new gold fields, sue
cumbed to typhoid fever on July IA, only
q few hours after his brother, Oscar,
had written his letter saying that Frank
was then able to sit up. The information
comes through the Klondike News, the
first issue of which was published at
Dawson on July II, three days after Os-
car Belcher's letter was mailed. Among
it's records of deaths was this one Age
2S years, Frank Belcher, of Pennsylvania,
died Wednesday night of typhoid fever"
He had about $4,000 slowed in his cabin
and had sold his claim for $4,000 more.
1t was his intention to leave on the
