COURTED DEATH BY HANGING.
 Last Sunday morning at an early hour the body of F. Hamomota, Jap anese laundry man, was found hanging by rope from lamp hook in the Douglas Hand Laundry When discoy- cred life was extinct. Judge Folsom, of Juneau, was notified and coroner's jury summoned. They decided that the deceased had come to his death by strangulation caused by hanging, and that he had undoubtedly committed suicide. The cause of the deed is un- known.
 r. Hamomota came to the United States from Japan about year and a half ago, and two and one half months ago landed at Douglas City. Since his arrival here he has been continuously engaged at the Douglas Hand Laund- ". which is conducted by Y. Yoshino, also Japanese. On last Saturday ev- ening the deceased had some difficulty with Japanese woman, supposed to be his wife, which resulted in the wom- an being locked out of the house. Re- peated attempts on her part to gain ad- mittance were of no avail until finally about five o'clock Sunday morning a friendly Japanese succeeded in unlock ing the door from without, and the un- fortunate man was found hanging by the neck from hook in the ceiling, with his feet resting on chair. He was about thirty years of age and leaves a father, mother and sister in Japan to mourn his untimely end.
 The burial was held at the Douglas cemetery last Monday afternoon. Rev. H. Hammond Cole conducted the ser vices.

The fever cases at the hospital are all doing we'll at last accounts, and no new ones are reported lately. It is hoped that the improvements made at the boarding house and the changed order of things will prevent a reoccur- renee of anything of the kind in the future.
 Our neighbor Alaskan cities are do- ing some tall bragging about big tur- nips they have raised. Skagway claims the prize with one weighing 5 pounds. We can go you three better. At MT. Fox's store on Second street is turnip raised by Pat Burk, that weighs 8 pounds.
 Last Monday evening as Drayman Jones was hauling in line from the Cottage City heaving line was thrown from the boat and the lead struck him on the head, inficting serious wound. This looks like infernal carelessness and the man who threw that lead should be taught a lesson that would learn him grain of sense.
 MT. "Jimmie" Cristo left on the Se- attle last Saturday evening for a months visit at his old home at Neva- da City, Calf. He has been steadily at his post for the last four years and this is his first vacation. His friends on Douglas Island hope that he may enjoy his outing.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
JOHN ALIEN FoRsTRoM FALLS FROM THE DOCK AT SEWARD CITY AND IS KILLED.

Last Tuesday John Albin Forstrom, in company with two friends, left Doug las City on the Rustler for Seward City where he expected to go to work at the mines.
 They arrived at Seward after dark and his two companions went on up to the hotel, expecting him to follow soon. A short time afterward a fisherman who was out securing his boat discover ed Forstrom lying on the rocks with gash in his scalp, caused by striking his head on the rocks as he fell from the wharf He was carried to the hotel, where he lived about half an hour, but never regained consciousness. It is supposed that he became confused in the darkness and coming to the edge of the wharf lost his footing and fell. The body was brought down to Douglas Wednesday evening on the Rustler and was taken in charge by John Cuff fin, who has known the deceased for many years.
 The funeral services were held on Friday, Sept. 20Jh, at o'clock p. m., Rev. c. N. ReplogIe officiating. The burial was at the Douglas Cemetery.
 John Albin Forstrom was born at Gefle, Sweden, March lst, 1867. His father died when he was quite young, and in 1892 his mother also died. Jan uary 3lst, 1893, he left his home and started for the United States, where he located in Republic, Michigan. He was a timer by trade, which occupation he followed until about two years ago, when he came to Douglas, Alaska. Here he worked in the mines and at the wharf.
 He was member in good standing of the Scandinavian Society. He has a brother living at Republic, Mich. He was quiet, gentlemanly young man and leaves many friends who regret his sad end.

Dennis Milan has purchased Antone Marks parrot. It is a very intelligent bird, although most people would say that he appears very green. He talks three words in the English language quite fuently, and evidently has some knowledge of several foreign tongues, We overheard Dennis telling stranger that this bird was raised by his father on his farm about three miles south west of Chicago, in Missouri. He says it is not an uncommon thing in that country to see fifty or sixty parrots sit ting on one tree in the same yard They teach them, back there, to set the dog on tramps, and this relieves the hired man of much responsibility and renders it possible for him to put in seventeen working hours a day and thus flood the country with prosperity We stepped up to ask Dennis few questions about the relation of par rots to prosperity, but he said he didn't care to discuss politics, and then he stompped off to dinner.

News -Four Weeks Old.

The manner OF our local contempt

so fragrant that every week wecould
point to from half a dozen to adozen
items which had appeared in the

fore. But this instance is too rank
to overlook.
In last weeks Eagle, dated June
26. appeared the following item, por.
tions of it, as marked by stars, being
omitted:
Chief Engineer A. G.. Lombard OF
the Montana railroad was in town
Saturday, says the Great Falls Trib-
une. Mr.. Lombard said that the
railroad would buy "a quarter sec
tion of land due west OF the present
Merino, being on n little bench just
above the valley of Antelope creek
and about a mile from the Mussel'
shell, which the road crosses at the
Fitzgerald place. = = Mr.. LON.

sig said that his son-in-law, Mr.,
Shimley, would at once erect a hoteI

The above, in it's entirety, was
published in the ARGUS OF June q
twenty days before the Eagle con
tanned il, and in the Great Falls Trib
une about June 10. Engineer LON
b ird had been in Lewistown, not in
Great Falls, as represented. The ri
diculousness Of the news (?) is appar

states that Mr.. Lombard twill b,
