PREDATORY ANIMAL HUNTERS END WORK
 ON WESTERN COAST

After an inspection of the west coast of Prince of Wales Island district, Harlan H. Gubser, head O. the Territory's predatory animal control program, accompanied by Sid Brannin, hunter, arrived here Sunday on the steamer Queen. MT. Brannin will leave for the south in few days.
 The survey of the district, which was trapped over last Spring and Summer, indicated that the number of wolves did not justify further trapping at this time. Consequently all traps were removed and the work suspended for the time being. During the operations last year B wolves were taken in the district.

DO YOU , SUFFER WITH
 HEADACHE?

So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future. Avoid bromides and dope. They relieve quick ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They are depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within.
 The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the. sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- fines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently stimulate the liver, start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache. Ask your druggist for red pkg. of Carter's Little Liver Pills.

 FATALITY
Tragic Death of Donald T. Warner in Caye-in, Sub- jecf of Official Investiga- ti0n - Buried Three Hours Under Rocks and Dirt at Prospect Opera tiOnS

An official investigation Is to be conducted in connection with the death yesterday afternoon of Don- aid T. Warner, 27, of West Cheshire, who was trapped by cave-in of rocks and dirt in Prospect and suf- located. When fellow workmen and volunteer workmen after frantic ef- forts extricated the unconscious form fast, but futile ride to St Mary's hospital resulted. Warner was pronounced dead on reaching the institution. Corner John T. Monzani or his assistant, Attorney Walter Emyth, was expected to-day to subpoena witnesses in connection with the tragedy. The youth was caught by sudden collapse of an embankment and buried in Q 25- foot hole.
 Warner. employed by the New Haven Water company. was one of workmen engaged in making excn- vations. He heard a shout of warm ing when fellow workmen observed evidence of the overhead embank- ment giving way. He rushed for Q ladder and attempted to climb to safety, but was caught in the ava- lanche and practically buried alive. His body was not recovered until three hours later. His companions hopeful that the spark of life was not extinct bundled him into q car and fast ride to Waterbury and St Mary,s hospital followed.
 The actual cave-in occurred about 1:30 o'clock near what Is known as the Edgar Wallace place In Pros- pect. Warner was at the bottom of the pit adjusting rope to several timbers to be hoistcd to the surface when several tons of rocks and frozen dirt undermined by the dig ging crumbled and fell. The exca- walton work was in the form of an experiment to determine the depth of rocky level and within a short distance from the New Haven Wa ter company's reservoir. The big hole was dugged about a year ago, but yesterday Warner with his uncle, William Warner. Edgar Wallace and Carl Garfield were ordered sent into the opening to remove all timbers. As the pianks were withdrawn one by one the embankment was appar- entity undermined and n cave-in re- suited. When the cry of warning was shouted the young man made rush to the ladder and had ascended two or three rungs. when he was buried under the avalanche.
 The deceased was well known in Prospect and Cheshire. He is sur vived by his parents. He made his home with his uncle, William War ncr of West Cheshire, one of the three men who struggled to rescue hiEa after the cave-in.
