Last Friday afternoon Otto Wilde ar rived in his gas boat from Limestone inlet, bringing the body of Alfred Chris tianson, who died in fit the night be- fore. The deceased, with two compan- ions, Oscar Pierson and John David son, left Douglas on the 18th for Lime stone, which they reached in couple of days. They erected tent and all went we'll until Thursday night, when Christianson left them asleep, rowed out from shore in the skiff and, with a yell that walked the sleepers, plunged into the water When his companions reached him he was dead. Judge Bach, who was also camping at the inlet, ad vised that the body be brought to town, which was done. An investigation at Juneau revealed nothing except that the man had died in a fit. Christianson, who was a sailor, deserted his ship at Sitka some seven or eight years ago, since which time he has lived in and around Douglas. He was hard drinker and several times there was cause to question his sanity. Upon their ar rival at Juneau, one of the party, John Davidson, was arrested by the U. s. marshal on the charge of selling whisky to Indians.
