Heckert says he wants to keep tho club
in Trenton. and the only thing that will
keep him from doing so will be the fail
ure on the part Of Trentonians to help
him. In the event Of his not being able to
round up local company. the Trenton
franchise will be taken 10 Wilmington.
where It is said that a fund Of $4,000 has

The Bllikins are from the Wednes-

the gymnasium longer, so that their
advantage was overwhelming. but the
other girls played with a recklessness
and pluck that kept the winners very
busy. Tho gym floor got sufficient
polishing TO put IL in splendid condi-
tion for dancing. and the valiant war
riors are nursing a variety of black

Sometimes the girls threw the ball at

Greatly alarmed, Whalley hurried to town and notified Deputy Marshal Rob- inson. Dr. Harris of the post was then summoned. He found Napoleon still alive when he got to the cabin. Several empty bottles were scattered around, and the cabin was filled with alcohol fumes from a pan on the stove. The men had been inhaling these fumes in addition to drinking the poisonous stuff
 Napoleon was taken to the post hospi- tai on dog sled, although he protested he was able to walk. By Friday night he was greatly improved, but early the next morning he went into convulsions and died at a. m.
 An autopsy by Dr. Harris, assisted by Drs. Wertenbaker and Loomis and Sergt. Kinzer, showed that Napoleon had been suffering from chronic alcoholism and had died of acute alcoholic poisoning No trace of strychnine was discovered. As result of the autopsy Judge Galla- her decided no inquest was necessary.
 Napoleon leaves widow and several grown sons in Montana. Iceland had family of 10 children at Lorette, Man. Hamlin was unmarried.

 AS the men were conscious after their intoxication, and repentant, they were buried under the auspices of the Catho- lie church Sunday afternoon. Brief ser vices were held by Father Ferron. The funeral procession was most inn pressive in its simplicity. Three plain board coffins, placed across a bobsled drawn by two horses, carried the bodies to their last resting places on Mission road. The mourners, consisting of sour dough friends of the men, together with some native friends, followed the re- mains afoot.

THREE CARRIED TO
 LAST LONG SLEEP
Following Over indulgence in Commercial Alcohol Toddies, Old-timers are Strick- en With Convulsions and Die.

''Joe" Hamlin, aged AZ, Geo. Iceland, aged 53, and Napoleon LaCasse, aged 39, old-timers of Dawson and Alaska, died last week as result of consuming five quarts of whiskey and topping off with several quarts of commercial alcohol toddies. Hamlin and Iceland died on the third island, Friday of last week, and Napoleon succumbed at the post hospital the following Saturday morning. The three were chopping wood on the third island for Andrew Vachon. They began drinking the whiskey at Napo- Icons cabin at 4 80 p. m. Tuesday. They slept some that night, and early We'd nesday started in afresh. By 10 o'clock the five quarts of whiskey were gone so they began on the alcohol, making hot toddies with sugar, water and coffee, and seasoning them with cinnamon. They drank these until late in the afternoon when Iceland went home to his cabin 500 yards away.
 WRITING IN PAIN.
 Chas. Whalley-another woodchopper living nearby-visited the boys Wednes- day night and found Hamlin writhing in pain. The suffering man said he was going to die and called for the priest Napoleon was up and about, and Whal- ley thought Hamlin was merely suffer- ing fram the effects of the spree. He went home about 10 o'clock, but return ed at 3 a. m. Thursday morning and prepared some chicken broth for Hamlin Iceland was still alive Thursday, and when Whalley went to see him at in the afternoon George demanded that he leave him alone as he was sleeping off 'the drunk"
 Napoleon saw Iceland at II o'clock the same night, and George was appar- ently getting better then.
 Whalley left Hamlin and Napoleon asleep that night but was awakened at 5:30 Friday morning by Napoleon, who stormed into his cabin crying "George is dead! Why did you leave us alone?'
 An expression of fear then came into Napoleon's face and he clutched at his stomach as if feeling the effects of the alcohol for the first time. Whalley got up and went with him back to the cabin where Hamlin lay dead.
 ''JoE IS DEAD.'
 Then he thought of George and went over to his cabin. Iceland was still in his bunk and became enraged, ordering Whalley out.
 "Joe is dead and Napoleon is dying" Whalley replied.
 Iceland immediately quieted down at this, murmuring, "My God! give me a cup of water.''
 Whalley brought him the water; but George, in attempting to take it, reached past the cup. Whalley then discovered that George was stone blind.
 Just then the stricken man lay back in his bunk and closed his eyes. Whal- ley called to him but received no ans- wer. He felt of his pulse and found it had stopped beating. George was dead.
