MARK B. ANTHONY
 DIES AT TENAKEE

At the age of 46 years, Mark B. Anthony, an Alaskan pioneer, died at Tenakee on August 17th. MT. Anthony had for several months previous to his death been the guest of Dr. F. H. Wood and had been receiving treatment for heart trouble.
 la 1897 Mark Anthony crossed the Fass to Dawson and later joined the rush to Nome. It is be- lievsd tbst he has a son and daugh- ter livinG in the States, but their address 'S not known.
 Anthony, familiarly known as "DOc," spent the winter of 1913 in Juneau. He mined on the Nome beach during the 1900 stampede, with Frank smith, but later came to Cnalaska. He was well-known to the old-timers.

proach to the jumping point was roped, off to keep back the crowd on either side, and every one had been caution ed to do no shouting till after the leap, lest 1t should cause the horse to balk.
 At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Jim, wearing his birthday suit and a pair of spurs, mounted Ginger bareback, the only equipment being bridle. Jim was trife pale, but his mouth indi- cated resolution. The handkerchief was tied carefully over the horses eyes, and Jim rode him back and forth for awhile as a preparatory measure. Finally he took a position about hundred yards from the bank. A number of persons crowded around him to bid him gOodby, and when they were put back behind the ropes Jim, at the signal of a pistol shot, gave Ginger the word.
 By the time they reached the edge of the bank the horse was loping, and at the right moment Jim lifted him with the bridle and gave him the spurs. He cleared the bank. and down, down, down went rider and horse, Jim cling ing to the horses mane, Ginger paw ing the mir.
 Every man, woman and child rush. ed to the bank There was a whirl of waters where they struck, and after what seemed an interminable time Jim came up, swimming lustily. The horse soon after appeared some twenty feet from Jim. The handkerchief had been arranged so that Jim could pull it off while between the bank and the wa ter. Nevertheless the horse seemed dazcd, not knowing at first which way to go, so that Jim, who struck out for him, was in time to catch hold of his tail.
 The crowd followed the exhibitors down the river to a place where they could land, and they were received with a clamorOus welcome.
