NATIVE WOMAN DIES
 FROM OVER INDULGENCE

DOUGLAS, Jan. Della Brown, q native Nwoman, died in a rather mysterious manner Saturday after noon about o'clock but investiga- ton showed that her death was caused by over indulgence in whis- key.
 The woman had been in a cabin occupied by John Caparos, a Greek, for several hours and at 4 o'clock she went from the Caparos' cabin to one occupied by a native woman who says her name is Goldstein. En- tcring there the Brown woman said "I need help" She fell down on q cot and was dead within two min utes.
 The matter was reported to City Marshal Shafer who later placed Caparos under arrest and took him to the city jail. U. s. Commissioners John Henson accompanied the mar shal to the house where tho woman died and also to that of Caparos where the woman had spent the af- { ternoon. At the latter cabin were . evidences of an extensive drinking bout and tho commissioner decided that an inquest was unnecessary that death had been brought abou; | by over indulgence.
 Della Brown was q Haines woman and had been here for some time ! She has been before the court sev- eral times for drunkenness.
 John Caparos will be held fol supplying whiskey to natives. When arrested and searched, two post of ] flee money orders for $100 each were found in his pockets.
