James Crandall Meets Horrible
 Death on Boat
Jumps Overheard from Gasboat With Clothing on Fire From Head
 to Foot.-Is Drowned.

James Crandall, engineer on the Irene Barnes, met tragic death last Thursday. In spite of numer- ous warnings MT. Crandau per sisted in the hazardous practice of building a fire in stove with coal oil. But Hike many others he did the act once too often. The top of the stove was blown of and Crandalls body enveloped in flames.
 Captain Morton who was the only other man aboard heard the explosion and hurried into the en- zine room just in time to see the man on fire jump overheard. Nor ton lost no time in throwing a rope to Crandall, but the man overheard seemed not to want the rope and after bobbing up and down several times sank to rise no more.
 The accident occurred within two miles of the Lake Bay cannery and Morton hoped by constant blowing of the whistle to give a call of distress, but the wind was coming from the direction of the cannery and therefore Morton's efforts were futile.
 When all hope of Crandall com ing to the surface again was given up Morton went to the cannery and reported the accident. He then came to Wrangell and made statement in writing at the customs house which will become a part of the government records.
 Crandall was a man propably 30 years of age. He lost his wife several years ago at the time their first child was born. The child is with relatives in the states. A sister of Crandall resides at Con- crete, Wash. His parents are said to reside at Great Falls, Montana.
 Crandall came to Wrangell early .ast season to take a position with the Alaska Sanitary Packing Co. After the close of the cannery sea- son he became night man at the Wrangell electric light plant. A few weeks ago he entered the em- ploy of the F. c. Barnes Co. at Lake Bay and became engineer on the cannery tender Irene Barnes where he was working when he lost his life.

Falt Killed
 Himself Rather
 Than Surrender
Man Who Shot John Dahlstrom Five Times Near Little Port Wal ter Committed Suicide When He Realized There Was No Hope for Escape

U S. Deputy Marshal H. D. Campbell and Special Deputy Earl West returned Sunday afternoon from Little Port Walter bringing with them the body of Adolph Falt whom they left here last Thursday to arrest for having shot John Dahlstrom, a troller, five times.
 The officers left Wrangell on the gasboat Standard, owned by c. R. Bell who during the trip rendered the officers much valuable assis- tance.
 The fugitive was apprehended about nine o'clock Saturday morn ing in Tebenkof Bay 20 miles from Little Port Walter. Owing to the Standard being a fishing boat it was able to come within talking distance of Falt's boat without his suspecting that officers were coming for him.
 When near the fugitive's boat Campbell called to Falt and told him who he was. He then tried to convince Falt that the best thing he could do would be to sur render peacefully. Falt argued that if he did so it might mean five or ten years in the pen. But he seemtd to realize also that he was up against capture or death as he could hardly hope to out, shoot the five armed men on the Standard. Finally Falt ducked down in the cabin of his boat and a moment later rife shot was heard. The officers felt that Falt had killed himself. Mir. Bell the took a rowboat and went over to Falt's boat and upon peeping ir saw that Falt had killed himself The rife had been placed under the chin and fired. The ball cam, out the top of the head tearing hole as large as a teacup.
 Mir. Campbell then summoned ar additional witness from nearby trollers and six persons went aboard Falt's boat and wen through his effects. Among other things they found s550 in cash and a letter written in Bohemian on the back of a calendar leaf.
 The body was brought to Wran gell and an inquest held here Mon day afternoon. At the inquest the letter written in Bohemian was in troduced and at the request of th' jury was translated by Tom Miller From this letter it appears tha Falt had intended to commit suicide on May 27 after he hat shot Dahlstrom. He told of the shooting and gave the date of his birth (18S5). He gave the date of his death as May 27, 1925. He left the address of a friend in Minnesota whom he wished to have notified of his death.
 The verdict of the coroner's jur. was that Falt came to his death by suicide. The body was inferred in the local cemetery Wednesda, forenoon.
 MT. Campbell states that he was given every assistance from the cannery at Little Port Walter. A troller named John Olson and MT. Stephenson from the cannery join ed the marshal's posse at Little Port Walter and rendered every assistance possible in apprehending the fugitive.
 John Dahlstrom. the troller, who was shot five times by Falt wal taken to Ketchikan on the Wilson Fisheries motorship Apex. At last reports there was some hope for his recovery although his condition was critical.
