TOM JOHNSON DIES FROM WHALING
 CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES AT FIRE

Wyatt entered by the back stairs and kicked out windows to clear the smoke. He found Johnson lying prone on the floor with his head toward the foot of the bed. Ap- parently he had risen in a semi conscious condition and fallen over come by gases. It would have been an easy matter, if he were con- scious, to have escaped from the Mrs. Cramer's liquor store which adjoins the main building, or to have gone down the hall and out from the upstairs porch.
 His rescuers, Wyatt, H. Wellons and Carl Hereth, dragged him quickly to the first exit where he was delivered into waiting hands and placed on the City Light truck to be taken to the hospital. Glar- ing headlights caused the driver to miscalculate distance and the truck was backed off the walk. The un- conscious man then had to be trans ferred to the Star Taxi driven by Charlie Early. But the streets were so blocked by parked cars that seY- eral precious minutes were wasted before the taxi could get clear for it's trip to the hospital.
 Competent first aid treatment was rendered at the hospital by the nurses during the few minutes be- fore the doctor arrived. Artificial respiration was given for nearly an hour and the seVerest of stimulants were administered before the man was pronounced dead after a thor ough examination by pr. J. H. Clements
 Carbon Monoxide Fumes
 A coroner's jury on Monday found that Johnson had come to his death my inhaling carbon monoxide fumes.
 Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at the St. Philips Episcopal church.
 The deceased was born 51 years ago in Jackson County, Tennessee. He came to the Puget Sound coun- try with his parents when a small boy and was but IA years old when he went into the Klondike. Later he was in Fairbanks, Nome and other interior mining camps He came to Wrangell about three years ago from Skagway where he had lived for several years. During his residence here he was employed at the Cramer store.
 
 MT. Johnson is survived by his two daughters, Mrs. Ralph Prescott of Wrangell, and Mrs. Frances Will Hams of Everett, Washington, a son, Walter Johnson, of Seattle and five sisters four of whom live in Seattle and one in Tacoma.

Fire which started Saturday eve ming in an upstairs bedroom of the Cramer building, caused the death of Tom Johnson, asleep in an ad- joining room.
 When firemen and townspeople responded to the alarm about 7:15 D.. m. the blaze was well under way. It started, in the opinion of Mrs. M. A.. Cramer, owner of the building and proprietor of the general merchan- disc business on the first floor, from a coal oil lamp The light fix ture in the bedroom had been out of order for some time, she states. and a lamp has been used whenever light was needed in the room.
 Saturday evening she went up to the room to get something out of Q trunk near the window and lit the lamp. While she was there the elec- tric bell rang on the door of the store. Setting the lamp on the floor she went down to wait on the cus- toner and was occupied in the store for several minutes. Hearing a cracking noise overhead she ran up the stairs and when she saw the room was in flames rushed back to the telephone and sent in an alarm. She believes the lamp exploded as she feels certain it was not near enough the window to have ignited curtains or drapes.
 She realized suddenly, she says, that MT. Johnson, was in the ad- joining room. He had come home and gone to sleep in a chair in the living room. She reused him and persuaded him to eat a bowl of hot soup and to go to bed about O. clock.
 Driven Back By Smoke
 When it became known that John son was upstairs Orie Harris at once attempted to get into the upstairs hallway leading to his room. He was driven back, however, by a dense cloud of hot smoke.
 After firemen arrived it was a full ten minutes before the water was turned into the hose because the water was shut off from the hy- drant. It was necessary to go to the fire hall for the proper wrench be- fore a stream could be directed on the blaze.
 Several attempts meanwhile were made to get the unfortunate man out of the smoke. A gas mask, part of the equipment of the fire truck, ] had to be prepared before Jack Stokes put it on in an effort to get through the dense smoke, but he soon came back; the mask leak ed, he said.
 Escape Easy If Conscious

Of course, North and South should not have reached small slam con- tract on today's hand. There are too many vital cards missing, the unfavorable location of which might easily wreck the contract. But South was Q confirmed optimist. and North held an ace-king suit, besides.
 Had the contract been defeated, probably there would have been one of those sharp interohanges of com ment between the players, but as 1t was made by very brilliant play by South, 1t strengthened the partner ship morale and helped them to go on and win top score in the dupli- cate event in which the hand was dealt.
