that Mrs. sepich saw the revolver in the hands of Pug shortly before the shooting, but that she did not think he was angry at her or would harm her. She testified that she heard the shots, and ran outside, but she did not know she had been hit at that time. She did not see Pug shoot, and did not remember anything after the shooting until she awoke in the hos pital the next day.
 The shooting occured last spring in a rooming house on WiIloughby Avenue which is operated by Mrs. Sepich and her husband. Mrs. Se- pich was struck twice by bullets, once in the head and once in the left arm.
 After the shooting Pug attempted to commit suicide and for a long time was in St. Ann's hospital, not expect ed to live.-Empire.

VICTIM OF A MANS
 WRATH TELLS STORY

JUNEAU, Oct. 9.-The trial of John Pug, charged with shooting, with intent to kill, started this morning in the District Court. Mrs. MiIka Se- pich, who was the victim of the shoot ing, was on the stand and the entire morning was taken up with her testi- mony and cross examination. Mrs. Sepich testified that she was sitting in her kitchen peeling apples when Pug appeared and that she was still in the same position when she was struck by the bullet.
 Mrs. Sepich testified that Pug said, among other things, that he was broke and was hungry and asked her to give him $2O. Mrs. Sepich sad she did not have that amount and Pug  then said, "I was good enough to stay here when I had money but now that am broke l cant stay in your house"
 A short time before the shooting Pug had been ordered to leave by the husband of Mrs. Sepich and the two men had quarreled. The testimony disclosed the fact that Pug was des- pondent over not receiving mail from his wife and children in the old coun- try.
 The testimony brought out the fact

STEAMER LOST OFF
 MIDDLETON ISLAND

CORONA, Oct. 1O.-The steamer Independent, owned by the National Independent Fisheries Company of Seattle, was lost off Middleton island on Friday last and part of the ship wrecked crew was brought to Cor dova last night. The steamer was of a burden of 300 tons gross, and valu- ed at about $5O,OOO. She was engag- ed in halibut fishing under the com mand of Captain T. H. Miller, and had thirty-eight men aboard, all of whom were saved.
 The Independent had been in the vicinity of Yakutat, and while on it's way to Port Lock bay on Kodiak island, struck a reef off Middleton island at 4:5O o'clock last Friday morning. She hoated off, but struck second and a third time. It was dark and raining at the time, with a heavy sea running. The rudder was broken, and as the pumps refused to work, Captain Miller put the steamer at an chor, and she later sunk. Before this, however, an unsuccessful attempt was made to get around to the right of the island.
 The twelve dories aboard the steam CT were lowered and the crew got out for shore. It was o'clock in the af- ternoon before the last dOry, contain ing five men, reached the island One dory lost all of it's oars, and after drifting into the island as close as possible, dropped it's anchor and heavy sea landed the men on the island.
 The little grub that the crew were able to take with them got wet, and but for the fact that Joe Iback an his wife, who conduct a farm ranc on the island, took care of the men their plight would have been sorry one. These old-timers gave the ship wrecked men food and shelter, and Mir. Iback brought Captain Miller and eleven of the crew to Cordova on his boat last night.
 Deputy Collector of Customs Geo. Kennedy took care of the men, and will see that they are returned to Seattle on the first southbound steam er.-Ex.

last Tuesday evening, under condi- tions indicating that the deceased had taken his own life. The Juneau Dis patch gives the following account of the affair:
 James Kahler, 97 years of age, res ident in Alaska ten years, a pharma- cist, unmarried, presumably commit ted suicide in his room at the Cam Rooming house over H. s. Graves clothing store on Front street, Ju- neau, some time yesterday afternoon.
 His body was found lying across the bed by Mrs. J. H. Cam, about s o'clock last night. Dr. H. c. De- Vighne, U. S. Commissioner John B. Marshall and several friends were summoned.
 The doctor examined the body and his effects in an effort to find some trace of the cause of death. On the bureau in the room was found a small box containing several 5-grain cap sules of Veronal, from four to six of which would have caused death. The appearance of the body, the face, and pupils of the eye indicated that such a poison as Veronal had been taken ProspectOr.
