Deceased was a sober, Industrious

in the water. 1t is supposed that he
missed his footing while stepping from
the chute to the gangplank, but the
fact that his hat was found on the
guard-rail Of the steamer leaves some
room for the theory that he may have
missed his footing after he reached the
boat
Nobody saw HIM fall, though his cries
We're soon heard, and it is believed he

IS C. E. SPENCER DROWNED?
RUMOR FROM THE YUKON TO
THAT EFFECT.
When He Was Last Seen in a
Small Launch q Fierce
Storm Was Raging.

For the past month persistent rumors
have been af1oat in this city that
Charles E. Spencer who left here last
summer for the gold fields of Alaska.
had been drowned in the Yukon River
Efforts to get any definite information
or trace the rumors to their source
had been unsuccessful until Saturday
when a man was found in San Mateo
who sent here the news upon which the
reports were founded.
The man referred to is named Scran-
ton. He was once in the employ of
Spencer in Arizona, and sailed on the
same boat with him to Alaska last
summer. He was seen by Mrs. Spencer
on Saturday, and this is the substance
of the story he told, and which he put
at greater length in the form of an affi-
davit:
Scranton says that after they reached
ST. Michael they had great difficulty in
getting transportation up the river.
They started once with a barge, and
met with disaster and returned to ST.
Michael to get a. fresh start. While
there Scranton and III others deter
mined to return to California on a sail
ing vessel, while Spencer and others
concluded to go on. On the Sd of Sep
TENDER, as the vessel on which Scran-
ton had taken passage was lying off st.
Michael, awaiting favorable winds.
Spencer came along in a steam launch
with three companions, one named
Shattuck, and another Johnson, and
the third unknown to him. Spencer
had started to cross Norton Sound to
q point some 80 miles distant, at the
mouth of Fish River, where a rich
strike had been reported He came
alongside the bark and gave Scranton
a message to deliver to a friend.
Scranton says that at this time the
water was smooth, and the little launch
seemed perfectly safe, but in a short
time a sudden squat came up, and
ended in a gale which lasted iof
twenty-four hours. They watched the
little launch, and it disappeared after
the squall came up. Scranton says that
he does not believe any such craft as
the little launch could live in such
gale. and he feels perfectly sure that
Spencer and his companions were lost.
The boat on which he returned lett
that afternoon, and brought the latest
news received from St Michael. That
is the whole story and, of course, 1t IS
very indefinite and uncertain.
Mrs. Spencer is now visiting friends
in Oakland, and proposes to hunt up
other members of the party who re-
turned with Scranton and endeavor to
learn more.
Spencer was a prominent member CT
the Improved Order of Red Men OF
this city. He went to the Yukon
armed with charts of an alleged
mountain of gold, obtained from
an old Yukon miner who dled
in the County Hospital here few
years ago A company was organized
by Spencer last spring to go from here
on a schooner, but some of the men,
bers backed out at the last moment
and the scheme fell through. He then
went by one of the regular steamers

think that it would so soon be silenced
forever to earthly ears.
In the memory of those who knew
him he has left many, many pleasant
remembrances by words and deeds. His
last act in the drama of his life in his
encounter with the King of Terrors was
a tragic one indeed Afterwards there
is the tableau. There he lies in his
silver mounted, rosewood, satin-lined
and downy -pillowed casket. calm and
peaceful as if he slept. Peace! let him
rest till resurrection morning.
Though dead he yet speaks. Yes,
breaches. He silently gives us an illus
trated sermon on death. There is all
that remains of the fortress in which he
lived and fought the battles Of life for
almost fifty years. It's collapsed and
ruined appearance plainly tells of the
great struggle with the last enemy.
The Bible, which he took for his COM
pass and chart reveals to us the truth
that this broken-down fortress will be
rebuilt and fashioned like unto Christ's
glorious body. What that shall be we
know not, but when He shall appear we
shall be like him, for we shall see him
as he is.
In a. most emphatic sense the deceased
speaks to you, his brethren in Odd Eel
lowship. AS for the last time you pass
around to view his mortal remains they
say to you all, Prepare to meet thy
Cod For in passing through the val
ley and the shadow of death you will
need the accumulated strength derived
from faith and practice to grapple tri-
umphantly with the last enemy. He
may take you without a moments
warming; or in the throes of death the
fever may dethrone your reason, there
fore Prepare now, to-day, to meet thy
God"
If those lips now sealed in death could
only open and that paralyzed tongue
were loosed but for a moment he would
surely say to you his widow, fatherless
children, brothers and sisters, mother
and all, as you look in vain upon his
mortal face for an answering look and
parting smile, II have crossed the Rubi-
con. So, too, must you all sooner or
later. I can never return to you, but
you can come to me. Be We humble
and mindful of death. Number your
days and apply your hearts to wisdom.
My years were few, but two score and
ten. Be We ready, for as in such an hour
as We think not the Son of Man cometh"
And now, as we accompany the re-
mains of our dear brother to the grave
and perform the last sad rites to the
honor of his memory, may God help us
all to look UP through our tears to his
God and our God and bless him for the
appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ,
who hath conquered death and hath
brought life and Immortality to light
through the Gospel.
