TOLOVANA RESIDENT
SUICIDES BY SHOOTING

Emil Holmgren, we'll known resident
of the Tolovana district, where he
spent several years hunting and trap
ping and occasionally working around
the creeks, committed suicide last
week by shooting himself with a o.
cabiber rifle, according to information
received at Fairbanks from Deputy
Marshal Miller. The body of Holm
gren was found in his bunk, with the
rifle beside him, and it was clear to
the jury summoned to pass on the case
that the old timer had taken his own
life.
The deceased was an old timer in
Alaska, having resided in the north
since the early days. He worked on
Ester creek for number of years as
mine foreman and went to the TOlo-
vana three or four years ago, since
which time he had occupied himself
chiefly with hunting and trapping.

(From Mccarthy News)
The demand for labor is as great as
ever in all the mining camps. The
Dan Creek Mining Company can use
- number Of men. The pay Is S5,o5
per day and SO cents bonus for staying
the full season.
Forest fires are raging in several
directions and it is to be hoped that
no great damage will be done. People
should be extra careful of fire when
on the trail during this dry season.
A very sad occurrence took place
on Wednesday last, when little Eddie
Diffey, the 10-year-old son of Mrs.
Mike Johnson. was drowned.
The child had not been seen since
4 in the afternoon and in the evening
search parties were sent out His
clothes were found on the shore of a
small lake across the trestle and some
time later the body was recovered
from the lake by Gus Johnson, George
Andersen and Jim Hussey.
An inquest was held next day before
C. Parker Smith as coroner and a
jury composed of Messrs. Conway
8 (foreman), Marshall, Slimpert, Nickel,
Mitchell and Cole.
The testimony of the members of
the search party showed that the de-
ceaseds footprints were the only ones
at the lake, and after examining the
body the jury returned a verdict of
<'death by accidental drowning"
The circumstances Of the accilct t
were very pathetic. The mother and
family bad just come to Mccarthy on
a visit to the father, who was en-
ployed by the road commission. The
little fellow had evidently gone swim
ming alone.
The entire community is full of sym
pathy for the family. The body was
shipped to Chitina, the home of the
family, where burial took place Friday.
The Mccarthy ladies sent many beau
tiful floral emblems.
On Thursdays train Colonel J. c.
Gotwals and Daniel Jones, superin-
tendent of the Alaska road commits
sion, arrived to make a brief inspec-
ton of the new Sourdough road.
They traversed the entire length of
the work and expressed themselves
NEell pleased with the progress al
ready made. They also went to the
Nizina to inspect bridge site. After
supper at the road commission camp,
they left on the speeder, intending to
stop off at Strenla and motor to
Bergs, then proceed to Chitina and
take the train to Cordova next day.
Jimmy Brown arrived on Tuesday
from Chisana with his pack train. He
has been helping survey at Nabesna
with H. Waller, whom he brought out
