MAN DIES IN
 GREAT AGONY
Karl Karsten Accidentally Dis charges Rifle While Talk
 ing 1t from Boat.
(Petersbarg Report.)

 Karl karsten was. accidentally shot and killed by his own rifle on the beach in Rocky Pass, near the Monte Carlo fox ranch, early this week according to word brought to town hy Jacob Hadllnd and Olaf Olson on Tuesday. Paul Lund was depu tized to bring in the body by Com missioner Clifton, but so far has not arrived.
 According to the story as told by Olson and Hadland, Karsten and Ol- son were engaged in running trap line in that section and living on a gasboat.
 On Monday Karsten went ashore in the only skiff after bark for the stove, taking with him his gun and ax and a sack He dis not return for some time and Olson became worried but was unable to reach shore for many hours, or until low tide. Olson made a search and found the skiff on the beach, not tied, with the aX and sack in it and the rifle lying in it with an empty shell in the chamber.
 He took the skiff and rowed to the fox ranch and got Jacob Hadland to 20 back with him. TIadland walked the beach while Olson rowed along with the sl1iff After going short distance. Hadland found tracks in the snow loading towards the woods and following them discovered Kars- ten lying ln the brush at the eda or the beach, on his face, and dead.
 Tho brush and snow was consid. erable trampled down. indicating that Kars;en had died after considerable of 2 struggle. Hadland and Olson did not touch thes body, but came to town at once and reported to the authorities.
 It is supposed that Karsten on landing saw something to shoot al and reached for the gun, which must have been discharged accidentally, the bullet entering the body at some point as yet unknown, and that Kars- ten made for the woods at once. probably knowing that he did not have strength to row back to his gasboat.
 Little is known of Karsten, who is better known as Dutch Henry here. He came south from Juneau about two years ago and has been around this section since that time. He is known 10 have been born near Hamburg and at one time served in the German ndvy. holding an off cer's commission. He worked for a number of years as a mine contrac- tor in the big mines of the Juneau section and after coming here worked for time as logging contractor for Jack Hanseth.

and all of the other amuse- nents which are known lat home." Besides these, it is set in the center of the Orient and with it as head- quarters, it is possible to make side trips to places of interest in the Far East from Yokohama to Singapore.
 Trans Pacific and Trans Canada transportation facilities have been so improved that it IS but little longer to go to Hong Kong than it is to travel to the Mediterranean. The Canadian Pacific has the larg- est and fastest steamers on the Pa cific and they cover the distance from Vancouver to Hong Kong, stopping at Yokohama, Kobe and Shanghai el route, in F days. These stops give the traveller op- portunity to get very good birds eye view. -
