He had been in poor health for some weeks but was thought to be improving and had himself only earlier in the day that he would be able to return to work soon. For some time he had been employed in the capacity of watchman, his failing health not permitting the perform ance of more strenuous duties. For several years he occupied responsi- ble positions with the Treadwe1 He was a competent and efficient man in any department and his death caused mantle of gloom to pervade the community in which he had SO long made his home.

ARRANGEMENTS
 ARE COMPLETE
Celebration Committees Have Everything in Readiness
 for Big Event

Never before have the islanders had SO much money for Fourth of July celebration and never be- foro has the outlook for a successful observance of the day been more fattering.
 At @ meeting held in the Nata- torium last Friday evening Mayor O'Connor. of the finance committee, reported having collected S1675' and since that time other contribu- lions have come in. making the to- tai upward of S17OO. That the is flanders have friends is evidenced by the fact that the Alaska Electric Iieht G Power Co.,. the Juneau Ferry Go. and the Island Ferry Go. each contributed the generous sum of S25 to the celebration fund.
 The sports committee asked for S11OO which was given and which will be appropriated as follows:
 Hose race. S35O; baseball, $250; rock drilling. S15O; tug of war, S1OO: field sports. S19O; tennis, S6O.
 Further amounts were appropri- ated as follows: Music, S42O; print ing. S75; decorations, $6O; and ar engagements. $6O.
 The events of the day will take place as outlined in the program published on the 9th page of this paper. starting at Treadwen in the morning. continuing at Douglas in the afternoon and ending with the Sweet Home waltz in the wee sma hours of July 5. 1916.
 A tug of war and tennis playing are two features not heretofore given places on the celebration programs. The latter will be played at the convenience of those interested and participating, no hour being set.
 Indications are that there will be many visitors here from across the channel. Juneau. Thane and Perse- verance. and probably from points up Lynn Canal, Skagway, Haines and Fort Seward.

ALLEGED HOLDUP
 CLOSE TO TOWN
R. Cramer Claims to Have Forked Over Money at
 Point of Revolver

R. Cramer, who has been work ing on the streets for the city for some time past, claims to have been the victim of a holdup last satur- day evening on the road near the cemetery when three strong-arm men, at the point of a pistol, re- lieved him of his money, amounting to S19.75. Cramer was on his way from town to his cabin on the beach and when he reached the pathway leading from the road to the beach the highwaymen stepped from the bushes and turned the trick, even to taking off his coat, which they discarded after searching. Cramer also claims his assailants, after rob bing him. told him to stand not up- on ceremony in beating it" and to enforce the order fired three shots. Cramer hastened back to town and told his story, when Deputy U. S.. Marshal Frank Bach and City Mar shal Shafer. accompanied by Mayor O'Connor, hastened to the scene of the recent excitement but found nothing on which to base a clue as to the identity of the bold, bad men. The officers kept up the hunt all night, keeping close tab on the passengers carried by the ferries also on the beach. but made no ar rests.
 The officers are of the opinion that Cramer told the truth and that he was really held up and robbed others are of the opinion that the whole story is of the cock and bull variety The fact that no per,on has admitted hearing the shots lends tone to the last theory.
