The Excufsion.

In response to tn e invitation ex. tended by Capt. Moore to the peo. pie of Valdez to take a short trir down the sound on the Excelsior last Sunday, at least POO citizens responded, and at the appointed hour { 1 o'clock) the steamer started off. touching at the post on the way to take on some excursionists from that point.
 The earlier part of the day was rather uninviting, which caused a number to remain at home who would liked to have gone.
 Just as the boat left her moor ings a slight breeze sprung up that rapidly cleared the sky and the sun came out in full force. The journey extended a couple oi miles below the narrows. Every. one on board enjoyed themselves and various sources of amusement were found. In some mysterious manner a number of packages of dainties. such as fruits, candies, cakes and sandwiches disappeared; at least the owners so state, but they must have made a mistake and left their packages behind.
 The principal place of attraction for 2 number of the men was the captains room, where they met and discussed the land laws.
 The trip was complete success and in compliance with the wishes of those aboard we extend to Cap tain Moore the thanks of all for his kindly act in giving us oul first excursion of the season.

Ferry Across Copper.

Wm. Wortman and Ralph Wheaton are to build and operate a ferry across the Copper river in the neighborhood of the canyon. A 1,5OO-foot cable is now on the river being hauled to it's destination and will be put in position while the river is still frozen. Their boat will be a good. large one. and altogether the ferry will cost about $1 900. Just as soon as the snow disappears sufficiently to allow it, a number of men will be employed to cut and make a road suitable for wagons to run from the ferry and connect with the government trail near Ernestine. A first-class house will be erected at the ferry landing for the accommodation of travellers.

SHOT HIMSELF
BECOMING DEsPONDENT. I.
 McCURDY SUICIDES.
Operator dt the Barns
Found Dead In His Cabin. Brought To Valdez. Coroner's In.
 quest.

Last Saturday evening tho body of Jesse McCurdy was brought to town from Station No. { of the government telegraph line, where he had been stationed as operator. He had been there alone for about two months and was seen very seldom.
 On the morning of April ?, at about 7:30 o'clock, J. D. Scow, medical attendant on the trail saw deceased, who appeared to he in . healthy condition, both mentally and physically. The same morn- ing, about an hour later, Lieutenant Wheeler found the door locked and was about to pass on, but before doing 10. lo"ked in through the closed window and saw the body of man lying on the floor. With tbe assistance of a passing miner they forced the door open and found the prostrate form to be that of McCurdy, dead though still warm. A carbine lay between his legs, with string tied from his foot to the trigger, which plainly showed the affair to be a case of suicide. The gun had been evil dently placed upright on the floor and the deceased leaning over tho muzzle pulled the trigger with his foot. Tho door was locked on tho inside to prevent the possibility of interruption.
 Lieutenant Wheeler finding that the man was beyond recovery telegraphed Ft. Liscum for instruc- tions; in compliance with which, the body was placed on a sled and hauled to Valdez, distance of 55 miles, by J. D. ScOw.
 Dr. Hewett of the Post examined the body and found that the bullet had entered the chest, passed through the body and came out on the back, piercing the heart in transit.
 A coroner's jury was impancled by Judge Lyons and brought in the following verdict:
 We, the jury, find that the de- ceased, Jesse G. McCurdy, age about p, a native of Pennsylvania, came to his death on April ?, 1903, at the United States telegraph sta- tion at Tiekhell, Alaska, from tho effects of gunshot wound inflicted by himself with suicidal intent.
 After the verdict was rendered the body was taken in charge by the military authorities and in- tered at Ft. Liscum.
