HOMER FARMER FOUND DEAD ON ROAD. HEART
 ATTACK WAS CAUSE

The body of William Burgie, farm CT at Homer, was found on the road between his place and Nielson's resi- dence near Homer, January 2, by Glen Bowers. MT. Burgie had left Nielsons Sunday afternoon between three and four o'clock for home but was evidently taken with heart at tack and fell by the road. There are few passers-by on this part of the road so it is not strange that his body was not found sooner He told Mrs. Mel son that he had been sick that morn ing and that it was quite an exertion in going to their place. Judge Allen Peterson and Deputy Marshal Milo Hurlbut held corners inquest on Fri day and Dr. Lane of Seldovia gave heart failure as the cause of his death. He was buried on his place by neigh bors and friends, and a simple burial service was held. MT. Burgie has brother living in Spokane, Wash, and another somewhere in California. He was born in Switzerland.

SAND MODELLING IS
 CHICAGOAN' HOBBY
Plies His Plsdms on Beach at
 SWlmpscott

Swampscott. Mass. Oct. 12.-LR- The night patrol on one of the beaches here sensed another drown- ing tragedy one evening when he glimpsed what appeared to be the prostrate form of youth on the sand under the cliffs.
 Before he hurried to the side of the figure. it is said. he sent a call for an ambulance. He was amazed when he knelt beside the figure to see it crumble under his touch.
 The figure was only sand-an ex- ample of the sand sculpture of o. s. Peabody. a visitor from Chicago. So natural were other sculptures of the Chicagoan that they have been at times reported from the cliff tops as exhausted swimmers asleep on the beach and menaced by the rising tide.
 For 10 years, Peabody reveals, he has toyed with this hobby of fash ioning models from sand. When word has spread that he was work ing on the sand. admirers have gathered from points miles distant on the Massachusetts North Shore to follow the evolution of his models from shapeless mound to amazing ly lifelike figures.
 Hours are required for the crea- ton of single bit of sand sculpture. Yet the next tide will wash the beach bare of even a trace of his labor without symptom of regret from the sculptor.

Aberdeen. Scotland. Oct. 12 R-A wandering cowboy hat from Texas has reached Aberdeen, somewhat the worse for wear but still going strong.
 The perambulating hat started on its wanderings from Dallas. Texas more than year ago, and has journeyed through the United States and Canada and across the Atlantic. Battered and punctured. it is adorned with tags bearing greetings from one town to another. lines of doggerel, and directions to keep the headpiece moving.
 Wherever the hat goes it must be carried as a personal belonging of the traveller to whom it is entrusted. and must not be posted. It travelled to Great Britain in the motorship James King James and went north with a woman tourist.
