PIONEER OF '88
 DIES SUDDENLY

Frank Clair died suddenly of heart disease in Handles place at 9:SO Sat urday night. He had apparently been in good health up to a few moments before stricken.
 Frank Clair was a well known char acter of these parts. having come to the country 25 years ago. For many years he followed prospecting and mining and has worked in most of the nearby camps. He was one of the earliest workers in the Sum Dunn and Snettisham districts. He came to Juneau in 1888 and has been a ra- miliar figure here ever since. Of late he had followed longshoring. He roomed over the Germania and a search of his personal effects does not disclose that he had any relatives any where.
 Deceased was about 45 years of age having arrived in this country when but youth. Harry Raymond and Captain I. J. Martin probably knew more about him than any one else in these parts, but they do not know anything of his family. He is believed to have been shipkeeper at one time for w. R. Grace & O., Of Brooklyn, N. Y. and it is said that he had a sister living in that place. Clair never accumulated any money nor did he locate any property of value through all his efforts and he left no estate.

MIR. FORMER ALMOST
 GETS ENOUGH RAVENS

c. K. Former wants few live and uniniured crows for certain legitimate purposes. After advertising that he would pay 25 cents each for then and getting no response he concluded that the offer was not attractive and there fore inserted an ad in The Empire to the effect that he would pay $1.OO each for the birds.
 Saturday he was almost stricken with heart failure when called up by phone. An Indian voice said halting- ly:
 "Thees you, Meester Forner?"
 "Yes."
 "You want some crows?"
 "Yes."
 "You pay dollar piece?"
 "Yes."
 "wen, me bring you 100 crows Tuesday,"
 Mir. Former later discovered that he had been the victim of practical joke. He still wants the crows-but five will do.

 MURDER, THEN KILLS HIMSELF

That murder was premeditated is evident from the means taken to ac. complish the end In addition to the revolver the man was armed with q butcher knife, which he had concealed in his clothing and had also on his per son a bottle containing a quantity of muriatic acid. The fact of his intent was further shown by letter ad- dressed to the city marshal in which he stated that the woman had $500 of his money which he had intrusted with her to send to his mother in France and which she had failed to do.
 The man and women are said to have come to this section together some time ago and it is alleged that he had persuaded the woman to leave a former husband to go with him.
 When Le Brun arrived in Doug las Friday, he immediately sent SZV'VO to his mother in France through the postofice for which a receipt was found on his body. He had then writ ten a letter and addressed it to her and also another letter which was ad- dressed to the city marshal. After making all his preparations he dis guised himself with a false mustache and proceeded to the restricted dis trict for the purpose of carrying out his plans.
 The woman is said to have followed the occupation of cook in private family for a time before entering her present career. and that Le Brun was at the same time cooking at the Perseverance mine in Silver Bow basin but that he was employed under diff ferent name.
