A distressing accident which resulted
in the drowning of Gus Cohne, watch
man on the steamer Casca, occurred on
Wednesday last. The Casca was lying
at the Troup wharf and the steamer
Louise was lying alongside the Casca.

Klondike Mining, Trading & Transport

Louise. attempted to cross from the
slip to the Louise, and in coming on to
the Casca Mr.. McGirr stepped on a
small rail above the deck which gave
way under his weight, he had hold of
Cohen's hand, and holding fast to it
drew Cohen over the rail. Mr.. McGirr
went down into the bay feet first and
was easily pulled out none the worse
save only for good ducking, while
Cohen was drawn overheard head first,
striking his head on the fender
rail below, from where he dropped into
the water and sank Immediately. The
body was recovered and coroner's
jury, before Judge Jackson. returned
a verdict of accidental drowning.

A ROBBERS ROOST.
Skaguay a Den of Thieves.

SkdSudy Den OF ln1eVeS.
The home of the late "Soapy" Smith
is bound fast in the clutches of a law
less mob which makes life in that place
a burden to all honest persons unfortu-
nate enough to be caught within the
borders OF that mushroom town on
Lynn Canal. Every mail brings down
word of fresh depredations by the gang.
The authorities appear totally unable
to cope with the lawless element. The
last batch of news only records three
cases of robbery.
The Gem saloon was robbed of sack
OF nuggets. A stranger came in to get
q drink and rendered bill in payment
The bartender opened the safe to get
change and laid a sack of nuggets on
the bar. When he looked in the safe a
few minutes later the sack was missing
The stranger is not suspected the mar
shall is working on the case.
An English party arrived at the lakes
with 49,, 600 in Klondike gold They
arranged with Packer Emory to carry
their luggage across the pass, paying
the usual rate. Before they turned it
over however, they distributed the gold
between the different bags. The pack
er was not informed that part of his
burden was gold and paid no more than
ordinary attention to the luggage. On
arriving at the other side the luggage
was opened up and one sack of gold was
found to be missing. 1t belonged to
w. r. Long and is said to have con-
tanned 1920.
An amusing attempt at robbery took
place on the Skaguay wharf, on the ar
rival of one of the steamers. a woman
came up on the boat and the moment
she landed on the wharf threw her arms
around the neck of an elderly looking
man, with the exclamation:
'Oh, papa, DEAR

as his reply showed:
'You're my long lost daughter, dear
lie, and I'm just going to hang on to you
until can find the Marshal"
When they searched her his diamond
scarf pin was discovered carefully hid
den away. Skagway is getting some
clever people but all of her citizens
were not raised in klondiko.
The captains of all steamers now
warn their passengers not to so ashore
at Skaguay unless they wish to take
their lives in their hands.
