! 70 minneapolis SoT IntoFU0nS.
The following letter, dated Fair
hanks. Alaska. Nov. 4, bringing the
sad news of the death by drowning
of James Murray, will be read with
grief by his relatives and friends IN
this city:
| Editor Irish Standard:-A solemn
requiem mass was celebrated in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
Fairbanks. Alaska. Oct. %, 1909, FOR
the soul of James Murray, who was
drowned in the Taitorad river the
latter part of September. Mrs. Capt.
Mccain, with complete choir, rev.
dered very appropriate music, and
Father Monroe, S. j., was celebrant.
The remains of Mr.. Murray were
brought from Johnsons undertaking
parlors and laid before the altar dur
ing service, after which the funeral
rites of the Catholic Church were con-
Quoted. The pallbearers were John
Roman, Democratic candidate for con-
gress from Alaska; Henry Riley, pres
ident Mine Owners Associations; J..
Johnson, J. Alexander, DR.. Danforth
and DR.. Sutherland.
The church was filled to overflow
ing with the best people in the Ia
mana, for there was not more highly
respected family in the northland than
Agnes and Rose Murray. with their
brother James. who is now no mora.
Mr.. Murray left Fairbanks in July
for the newly discovered diggings at
Otter Creek with a big consignment
Of machinery and other camp neces-
saries preparatory to operating on a
large scale. He reached Langley City
in safety and succeeded in piling his
machinery up on the beach some feet
above the high water mark. He then
procured a rowboat and went back
down the river to meet his sister Rose,
who was in the steamer Delta hurry
ing to join him. When about twenty
five miles below Langley City he was
in some inexplicable manner drowned.
His body was found next day and
brought back to Fairbanks on the re-
turn trip of the Delta, from which it
will be shipped to Minneapolis his
native city, for final interment beside
his mother, who is buried there.

Greater than the din of the steam

be inferred from this, however, that
"Via Wireless is all sound and fury
There are some quiet moments when
the love scenes are so intense that one

told, the story deals with a young

Later he saves the life of his sweet
heart and confounds the villain by his
