The Ketchikan miner., 1907-09-21

that there was both physician and hospital at Hadley, not more than two or three miles away. The Patterson Elk was accordingly despatched with out delay, with Dr. J. L. Myers on board, who went as much because he desired the trip as because he thought that his services might be needed or required. There was little real cause for the scare, however, as when the boat returned she brought over the mine assayer, MT. Gardner Eldredge, who had fallen from bucket of the aerial tramway in which he was rid ing from the beach terminal to the mine. It appears that Mir. Granger, when part way up attempted to get off at a station while the tram was in motion, and losing his hold fell to the ground distance of about thirty feet. The bucket in which he was reported to have started, arriving at it's desti- nation empty, gave the alarm and men were immediately sent down the line to ascertain and report what had happened. They found Mir. Granger lying unconscious where he had fallen, and it was concluded, without close examination, that he was dead, and the launch sent for. Arriving here, the injured man was able to walk to the hospital unaided, and the doctor states that his injuries, though pain full and calculated to delay for short time his return to duty are not seri- ous. It was, however, close call, and MT. Eldredge has cause to con- gratulate himself that his ill-advised attempt to alight in mid-air ''before the train had stopped" did not end more seriously.
 A young man, thought to be insane, was brought over from Hadley last night and turned over to the author ities. He is all right today, however, and the doctor says he only needs a few days hospital treatment for his complete restoration.
 Mir. and Mrs. D. c. brams, and their guests, Mrs. c. D. Rogers and Miss Delaney, went to Old Kasaan yester- day for an outing to continue while the weather holds out its present in- ducement to the would be dwellers in tents. It is altogether likely that at least one of the party will find the de- serted village something with which to feed taste wholly artistic.
 Miss Flora M. Howard, of Kansas City, who has been engaged to teach the native school at Saxman arrived up on the Dolphin, and has gone to that place this afternoon to see if she can find sufficient number of native fam flies residing there to warrant going through the form of opening school. The Saxman school has always been more conspicuous for the absence rather than presence of young ideas to be taught how to shoot.
 The bowling fever threatens to break out again with more virulence than ever. The bachelors who car red the broom all last year, nor laid it down once while the epidemic rag ed, have uttered defy to all who may have the hardihood to accept a chal- lenge to meet them in friendly con- test.
