Scott Frank Crough, resident of Anacortes, 2l years or age, Was in- Istantly killed in an accident winch occurred at Tonka at 5 o'clock of the afternoon oI oepleuDer Il while working for A. w. Willard. The coroner's Jury which held an in ques on Wednesday evening return ed a verdict of accidental death" Crough was killed by the propel- fer of the gasboat Yum Yum after he had been thrown into the water by a tow line. Willard was engaged ill pulling piling from the beach at Wrangell Narrows and had station ed Crough on the stern of his boat to take in the tow line as she back ed up.
 For some reason instead of stand ing at the tow bits, where he would have been safe, Crough stood about half way between the bits and the stern of the boat. The line had been fastened to a pile and the boat came forward. AS the line tighten ed, the pile held fast and the line jerked, throwing Crough into the water. AS he went down according to the witnesses to the accident, he grasped the tow line and held on. The boat was thrown back about fifteen feet but as it came forward the second time, the jerk of the line broke his hold and he sank into the water. The second jerk at the same time pulled the boat back far enough so that the wheel caught him on the. head, killing him in- |stantly.
 Willard, who was in the pilot house of the boat, and did not see the accident, felt the jar of the pro- peller adn thinking the line had been caught in the wheel, threw out the clutch and went to the stern of he boat. On noticing that the line " lo lty uC oldiLSu lOohihS loi Crough and noticed his hat in the water and then saw his body jam med in the wheel. Thinking the body was tightly jammed, he grasp ed the tow linean started pulling the boat to the beach, but when he got there the body was missing.
 Deputy Marshal MasGregor was notified and dragged the spot on Tuesday night without results but on Wednesday morning when Will lard returned to make a further search, the remains were found ly- ing on the beach.
 The testimony of a physician at the coroner's inquest was to the ef- feet that Crough ha dreceived three blows on the head any one of which would have produced instant death. The young mans father has been notified and instructions from him as to the disposal of the body are be- ing awaited.
 The yonug man had been here about ten days. He was an able boat man having spent four years about gas boats practically all his in the navy and had been working life. He came to Alaska to sign on as a seaman on the bark Phyllis Comyn at Juneau but after reaching that point changed his mind. From there he went to Pybus Bay for time and then came to Petersburg.

CRITICS AND REVIEWERS

What Is to be understood when
leading dramatic critic describes o
new piece by young lady from st.
Louis as 1.-The greatest play of mod
ern times? asks the Villager. When
he announces that a popular actress,
an artful little entertainer, is mas
terly," superb" and perfect" are we
to think of Bernhardt and Siddons, or
are we not to think of them? When a
college professor Of literature. review
ing one Of the seasons several "best
sellers" among the novels, describes 1t
as an epic poem. what are we to make
Of it? When these, who serve the
time as critics and reviews. discover
genius, not once a decade, but once
month, when every day finds them
celebrating works Of art which are
experimenting which are supreme
achievements" which have power to
stir the human heart to the very
depths, just how are we to take this
kind of encomium?

Sometimes there is money In dreams,
remarks the London Daily Mail. A
plumber of Bristol once made 10000
out of a dream idea of his wife's. One
night she dreamed that she saw her
husband making shot by dropping 1t
from the top of high tower. The
vision was so vivid that she was con-
vinced it was not a dream, but an
inspiration. And next morning she
told her husband all about it The
plumber was a practical man and did
not believe in dreams. But, urged by
his wife, he made few experiments.
He was surprised to find that he could
made excellent small shot by pouring
molten lead through a sieve into water
from a height. So he took out a
patent, which he sold for 10000, and
hoped that his wife would dream
again.

TAH|TIANS FLED TO HILLS WAITING
 FOR TIDAL WAVE; IT DID NOT COME

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 6.--(By the Associated Press. s.)-Tahitians but not Tahiti, experienced a reverbera- ton of the recent earthquake in Chile when they fled to the high mountains before a great tidal wave which the wireless said was sweeping across the Pacific.
 Heavy earthquake in Chile with tidal wave, may reach you,' read a private radio message received here November 12 from New Zealand. The message was shown the governor of the colony but the governor, reckon ing the 1000 miles of sea between Chile and Tahiti, where a wave would have ample space to spread out, thought it unnecessary to alarm the inhabitants.
 Next day, however, came the press dispatches, making known the news to, other residents Of the islands, ambng them tEe mayor The mayor of Papeete being the only elective official on the island, is a sort of tribute to the people and he saw at once a chance to loom large ill the eyes of h constituency.
 The mayor gathered about him his soothsayers, astrologers and mathe- maticians, and they figured and measured and cast horoscopes about the tidal wave and finally reached the conclusion that it would strike the island with devastating fury on the night of November 15 or the morning of the 1Gth
 Native heralds were sent out with big base drums 10 warn the inhabit- ants. Panic resulted in many sec tions. The Chilfese storekeepers piled their wares into all immediate transportation and headed for the high hills where they were joined by a goodly portion of the popua- tion bearing hanging lamps, family Bibles, eight-day clocks, rocking chairs, portraits of deceased relatives and other precious possessions. Two days and nights the refugees eamped in the open, scanning the horizon for the wal lof water. On November IT they returned.
 What actually happened was a phenomenon of irregular tides on the evening of November II, when the sea ebbed and flowed at intervals of 15 minutes, five or six times, from extreme low water to above the usual high water mark. In the Mar quesas Islands the sea rose 12 feet above the high water mark on the same date but no damage was re ported.
