MARTIN s. DANDURY CLAIMED BY DEATH.
 SATURDAY. AT SEA
SUDDENLY STRICKEN WITH A HEART ATTACK ABOARD
 5. s. REDONDO

Martin s. Banbury, 50 years of age, one of Stewards most promi- nent and beloved of citizens, was called to His Mal1or Saturday morning at o'clock while near ing Seldovia aboard the s. s. Re- dondo, of the A, s. s. Co. Heart failure is attributed as the cause of his sudden death.
 Saturday evening the remains were transferred to the B. of F. vessel Teal, and conveyed to An chorage. The body is expected to arrive here on this evenings train. The heart broken wife, who was with her husband on their brief vacation, a round-trip voy- age on the s S. RedondO, was also taken to Anchorage on the Teal and will arrive home tonight.
 Mir Banbury had never been known to have complained about a heart ailment but it is thought there was a weakness there which he knew nothing of. The receipt of a wireless message Saturday af- ternoon by J. H Flickinger from Capt A. A. Anderson, of the Re- dondo, announcing the death, left every one in the city speeehless, it was very difficult to believe.
 It is doubtful if there is another man in Seward who was held in such esteem as MT. Ban bury. As one friend said Martin was one of the very few here who I really considered a real friend N
 Since 1907 MT, Banbury had re- sided here during which time he conducted a store for 8 while; when lie withdrew from that bus mess he left for the States re- maining there but a short time. then north to Seward again en- tering the service of the Alaska Railroad About three years ago he accepted a position in the lo- cal office of the Alaska Steamship Company winch position he held up to the present time. For many years he had been an honored member of the Masonic Lodge of Seward in which position he held the office of secretary.
 Martin Banbury's parents were pioneers of California; there, upon a large and flourishing ranch, they raised their children, Martin, George and Thomas. George resides in Seattle where he is employed in the ticket of- flee of the A. s. s. Co. Thomas, IS a Captain in the transport ser vice with headquarters at San Francisco. There is also a nephew, G. E., who is employed by the Union Oil Company at Sante Fe Springs, Cal.
 No arrangements for funeral services or interment will De made until the arrival of Mrs' Banbury and word from the bro- thers but it is hoped that he may be laid to rest here among the friends and country he loved so we'll
