lant's Crew Aboard Ship.

American ship st. Nicholas, Is days
from Nushagak arrived in yesterday
with ST,S52 cases Of salmon, consigned
to the Columbia River Packers assoeia'
tion. Superintendent of the Cannety
Belland and Mrs. Belland, as well as the
eannery crew, fishermen and an Indian
boy. whom MIR. Belland has adopted as
protege, were passengers on the st.
Nicholas. The run this year Is reported
as exceptionally good and II the cans
had been provided $4,000 cases could
have been packed.
Doer Hagen, young fisherman Of this
city, who was making his first season
on the Nushagak, lost his life through
an accident while delivering fish. He
was suddenly seen to fall into the river
from the stern Of craft, and although
life buoy was thrown and other efforts
made to save him, a swift tide carried
the young fellow beyond human aid and
he was drowned. The brother OF the
unfortunate man was passenger on the
st. Nicholas.
Four members Of the crew of the i'll.
fated schooner Volant, which was
wrecked in Kuskokwin harbor July 81,
we're aboard the st. Nicholas, and besides
offering the first real intelligence of the
loss of the schooner made some startling
disclosures which viii probably result in
the discontinue OF Captain Lutgen, their
skipper.
| While unloading her cargo in knskok.
win harbor the volant was overtaken
BY a severe storm. The starboard
anchor was thrown out, but the chain
soon parted and the hook was lost The
port anchor then followed. Captain Lut-
gen then started to sail over the mud
banks in the harbor. The craft started
to pound and in addition to losing piece
of her keel the volant sprung leaks
Everywhere, and was rapidly filling when
the skipper determined to make a run
for the Kuskokwim river. The boat was
finally beached. The crew had to re.
main on the Kuskokwim for some time
but were finally taken to Nushagak on
small schooner. Here Captain Lutgen
so the crew say, told them new law
had been enacted which provided that
the government should pay the passage
home of all shipwrecked sailors. He
left them with the understanding that
he would arrange for their being taken
TO San Francisco on the revenue cutter
Perry. This was the last seen of the
skipper and it is known he went to San
Francisco on the Perry.
The men. were left at Nushagak with
no means Of obtaining passage nome, but
finally, excepting the mate and cook
Frederick Fredericks, William Bowlby
Frank Form and Hans Egglitzky, were
brought here on the st. Nicholas. Frede
ricks will leave for San Francisco short
ly and will try and prosecute Captain
Lutgen. The Volant was built at Farr'
ham in 1888 and was l72 tons burden
She was owned by J, J. Mcintyre Of

THOUSANDS SPEND DAY
AT SEASIDE RESORTS
HEAVIEST SUBURBAN TRAFFIC
OF THE SEASON
Attractions at Playa del Rey Draw
Crowds From Los Angeles, While
Other Beaches Enjoyed Their
Share of the Pleasure Seekers

Decoration day, fraught with tender
a country's wars, as holiday for the
workingman, saw thousands on their
way to the beaches.
Anticipating the heavy travel. off,
cials of the electric railways gave
orders Monday night that all the avail
able eqipment should be prepared for
service.
The passenger traffic yesterday was,
by far, the largest of the summer
season, and the additional beach SER
vice, which the railway companies
lately inaugurated. was entirely in
sufficient to accommodate the crowds
without the additional cars that were
run on frequent schedules over all the
beach lines.
The exodus began early in the morn
ing, but shortly after 10 o'clock and
early in the afternoon the crowds
reached largest proportions.
Long Beach was the general favorite
of the beaches, with the pleasure seek
ers, and, although having no special
memorial day features. as did Playa
del Rey and Alamitos Bay, held its
popularity well.
Additional train service, direct from
Los Angeles to Alamitos Bay, and the
many features which were offered
there by the Pacific Railroads Amuse-
ment company, brought together the
largest assemblage that the beach has
yet had. At Playa del Rey, also, the
crowd reached large proportions.

TEN DRINK VICTIMS

MEMORIAL DAY CUSTOM ADJ
HERED TO YESTERDAY
Prosecution of Drunks Dismissed in
Police Court and Offenders Told to
Go and Sin No More In a Like
Manner

Because 1t was a holiday, and Mem
crial day at that, Judge Austin showed
compassion on about ten drunks that
were arrested the night before and
dismissed them yesterday morning
Among them were several old vet
Grams from the Soldiers Home, who
had thought to celebrate the day Of
their lives the night before. AS they
lined up yesterday morning they were
so repentant and sad hearted that
Judge Austin had not the heart to
sentence them.
One old fellow. who seemed to be a
little older than the rest, said that he
wanted to go back to the Soldiers
Home to spend Memorial day, but that
he had spent all of his money the night
before, and had not even car fare left.
Judge Austin smiled pleasantly and
handed the man 25 cents.
Only Wanted His Laundry
A few moments later, as the Judge
was walking down Main street. and
probably happy In the knowledge that
he had done a good turn, he spotted
his beneficiary heading for a saloon.
The judge, rather discouraged. fol-
lowed him in and from an obscure cor
ner heard the old soldier order a
"toddy" The Judge walked out to
plead with the ex-soldier. who turned
around and said that he had merely
gone in the place to get his laundry.
Once more the veteran started on his
way, and once more was he overtaken
by the feet-footed judge. After sew
eral unsuccessful attempts the old man
was finally launched on his suburban
journey.
Judge Austin said last night that II
has been his custom for a number of
years to pardon old soldiers who are
locked up on Memorial day. ut is the
one day in the year for them" he said.
"and haven't the heart to make them
spend it in prison CELL"

MURDER MYSTERY
IS YET UNSOLVED
POLICE HOLD TO THEORY OF
FOUL PLAY
INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY
Autopsy Reveals the Fact That Frank
q. Amey Died From Fractured
Skull and Conclusion Of
the Brain
INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY

At the conclusion of a thorough post
mortem examination over the body of
Frank B. Amey yesterday afternoon 1t
was decided that he had not met his
death as was at first supposed, by be-
ing struck on the forehead with sharp
weapon, but that he had been clubbed
to death with a cudgel or, possibly, a
baseball bat.
DR.. George W. Clark, city autopsy
surgeon, who performed the examina-
ton at Pierce Bros morgue, said last
night he is convinced Amey died Of a
fractured skull and conclusion Of the
brain. The only injury noticeable at
the time the body was found was
cut about an inch long In the center
of his forehead This was thought to
have been the cause of his death until
1t was discovered that his skull, at the
base of the brain, had been crushed in
and broken like an eggshell.
No clew has yet been found that
might lead to the arrest of the mur-
derer, but 1t Is certainty that, IL the
deed was done for robbery, the assassin
did not find more than 10 cents on
Ameys person.
About two hours before he was killed
Amey met a friend in a downtown
saloon. According to this friend Amey
was then somewhat under the influence
Of liquor. Amey asked this man to
drink with him, which he did. They
had several drinks together, after
which Amey turned and asked his
friend to buy him a drink, as he had
only 10 cents left and he wanted that
for car fare.
About $50 o'clock Amey left the
saloon and said that he was goins
home. Nothing was seen Of him from
that time until he was found on Grand
avenue.
Detectives are working on the case
in the hope Of arresting the person or
persons who were implicated in tho
murder, but as they have no descrip-
tion or clew to work on the probability
of success is small.
The inquest on Amey's body will be
held at Pierce Bros morgue this after
noon.
