KING THURMAN SHOT HIMsELE

One of the most awful and "vivid - tragedies of Alaskan life was the death of King Thurman as told Iy William Austin who was the frs man to find the body of Thurman in the cabin inChickaloon Flats. Nj. Austin brought with him scrap e paper which carries few words W.T. ten by Thurman showing the fright ful agony of the poor fellow before he brought his gun into play to enl what was left of life.
 The last words of Thurman were written on a paper at the top Of uich was notice of location.

 Then, later, Thurman evidently tried to write again but the suffer ing was to great. "I Tn sane but In suferin" he printed and then esmc some printed letters that could rot be deciphered, and his last eff fort brought out the words "the-- 2f death"
 Mr. Austin and J. Wik found the body on March 1.
