THREE LA BOUNTY BROTHERS DIE
 WITHIN SIX WEEKS

That Death sometimes exacts heavy toll from the same family in short space of time is strik- ingiy shown in the fact that three La Bounty brothers have passed away within the past six weeks. Another singular fact is that all three deaths were wholly unexpected and caused from heart disease. On the eevening of June 30 Sol La Bounty fell back dead in his chair while playing a game of cards in the Moose club at Juneau.
 The news of Mir. La Bounty's death was telegraphed to rela- tives in different parts of the country. A brother, Jerome La Bounty. living in New York, was greatly shocked at the news of Sol La Bounty's death, and a few days later dropped dead. The family physician was of the opinion that Jerome La Bounty's death was precipitated by the shock that came with the unex. pected news of the death of his brother in Alaska.
 Edward La Bounty, another brother who has resided in Ta- coma for the past 30 years. was greatly upset by the news of the deaths of his two brothers. Find ing himself unable to throw off feeling of depression that seemed to possess him. he decid- ed to take a vacation, and made every arrangement for a trip to New York in company with his wife. On last Thursday evening MT. and Mrs. La Bounty enter tained at their home in Tacoma. At the close of the evening their friends bade them farewell. all wishing them a pleasant journey to their old home in New York. MT. La Bounty retired in better spirits than usual He and Mrs. La Bounty were to start east at 9 o'clock the next morning. At 3 am. MT. La Bounty received a sudden attack of heart disease and died before a physician could be summoned. His death occurred just six hours before the time of his intended departure for the east. So instead of journeying to the home of his childhood, as he had planned, he passed quick ly to eternal rest.
 Edward La Bounty of Tacoma was a namesake of Edward La Bounty of WrangeIl, who is a nephew of the deceased.
 All three brothers were buried according to the rites of the Catholic church.

In every direction are mountains of great height, and of every conceivable shape from the great rounded formations to needle points. About the edge of the lake there is semi-tropical veg citation. In other places the waters edge is marked by perpendicular walls of solid rork hundreds of feet in height. Oth- CT mountains not so precipitously steep have green slopes leading from the lake to peaks of eter- nal whiteness, which are often wreathed with clouds.
 A sentimental person looking for inspiration could surely find plenty of romantic settings here. Within a stones throw of a gi- gantic mountain of ice there are fragrant wild flowers wedged in joints of granite. There are tiny brooks trickling down from mountain heights with murmer- ing sounds as sweet as a sweet. heal t's voice The icy caverns are, Ui course, suggestive of loneliness, but in beautiful con- trast to these gre a number of secluded sunny spots, each of which ioeks as if i7 had been made 10 order by Cupid as a re- treat for two lovers seaKirg refuge fror. q cur.o'is world.

PARTY VISITS
 LA CONTE GLACIER

On Friday of last week a party of six ladies made a voyage to La Conte glacier on Capt. K. J. Jos hansen's boat, the Karen. The ladies were gracious enough to- invite the Sentinel publisher toI accompany them and the readi-I ness with which he accepted the, invitation might have led one to believe that he halls from Utah. J
 The party left Wrangell at an, outrageously early hour while five dutiful husbands were still in the arms of Morpheus. But the discomfiture of making such an early start was more than com pensated ere the party was out, of sight of the sleeping village' left behind. Who would not stay up all night, were it necessary, to learn the secret of the dawn over the Stikine when the great, rock mountains flush like moltenl bronze and the pale snows blush. like the cheek of maiden.
 At 8 o'clock the Karen tied up, to a stump on the rivers bank A good, substantial breakfast was prepared and eaten with much gusto. It might be- added that this breakfast also had some of the attributes of a banquet in that there was a feast of reason and a flow of the soul. Tradition has given to woman kind a reputation for doing their, full share of talking, but on this occasion the Sentinel man did not give his fair hostesses a fair. chance. Ordinarily the Sentinel. man talks less than a parrot, but on this occasion it was different Travelling up the Stikine in com-t pany with six delightful ladies'. and at the same time feasting the eyes upon scenery of inde-. scribable beauty, the gentle, breeZes came to him teeming with thoughts that swarmed like bees, and produced such an ex- urberance of words as to cause the ladies to wonder if he had forgotten his temperance pledge and taken an eye-opener of high voltage before starting out on his Brighamitish expedition.
 If some gifted author should make a voyage from Wrangell to Telegraph Creek he would surely get inspiration enough to write "The Spell of the Stikine, which would be in a class by itself. There are thousands of people who have visited the Alps who have never heard of the Stikine, and yet some of the few travellers who do go up the Stikine tell us that it is more wonderful in its scenic grandeur than any excur- sion one could take in Switzer- land.
 Upon reaching Knig lake Capt. Johansen made a trial at passing through the narrow entrance and succeeded in getting through from the river to the lake. This was probably the first time that a gasboat was ever on this lake. After travelling the full length of the lake the beat was tied up at the of the glacier.

Euen One Wisher Desires to
Abolish The Curue Ball Now

wild II he wanted to and then hook
over three for strikes. Naturally. the
batter would want those first ones and
probably would take crack at them
even IL they didn't come close.
Another suggestion Is that the foul
strike rule be amended. One person
even would have the foul line moves
farther to thes-left or right-as the
case might be--to take In more terri
tory. This person rightfully exclaims
that when batter gets hold of one
and cracks it down the right or left
field foul line mile a minute he
should be entitled to all the glory thai
goes with such a performance. He
should either have the benefit of knock,
ing the whey out of the ball, he be-
lieved, or should not be charged with
a strike,
The abolition of the spit-ball has re-
ceived serious attentiin and promises
to be the one point that will be deeply
considered, Gov. John X. Tener, presi-
dent Of the National league, Is one OF
those who believe that foreign sub
stances, as represented by the spit
ball, are not needed In basketball.

VATICAN ASTRONOMER
SUSPECTED OF BEING SPY

ROME, Feb. 5.-Another American
here was suspected as spy recently.
He Is Rev. D. ]. Hagen. s. j., the 'papal
astronomer, formerly Of Washington
D. C.
For weeks the police have observed
suspicious activities" in the vatican
gardens. Every night a black-robed
figure appeared for time on bridge
stretching between two toWeriKe
buildings.
The stranger made weird motions to-
ward the heavens. Afterward he dis
appeared into one OF the structures. A
mysterious noise generally followed his
entrance.
The police believed the clergyman
was signalling the enemy. Their IN
-yestigation introduced them to Father
Hagen. oficial documents showed the
7O-year-old astronomer to be an
American citizen. The suspicious &C
tivities" were only his astronomical oh"
seryations.

One of the most recent suggestions

pitcher would be fiat on the ground
