ACCIDENT VICTIM
 ON HANNA sUCCUMBs

kErCHIkAN - Michael Zent Sitka man who caught and tore off his left leg in awinch aboard the seine boat Hanna early Tuesday morning, died en route 10 Ketchi- kan for treatment.
 Zent was a member of the crew of the seiner Hanna. owned by Warren Todd of Wrangell.
 Wrangell boatmen, who were anchored near the Hanna at the time of the accident, said Zents pant leg apparently caught fin the winch and pulled his foot into It. It was damned in so tightly that the winch could not be reversed and the boat engine had to be shut down. Crew members on the Hanna then were forced to sever Cents leg wtth a. butcher knife just above his shoe pac.
 Efforts to reach the Hanna from ketchikan operating in Tokeer Bay, were hampered by weather. An Ellis Airlines plane went out on the emergency flight and re- turned with Zent about noon. However, he died aboard the plane.
 He is survived by a sister in Sit ka.
 Perry Yates, who suffered a heart attack the same day aboard the vessel Jeff H at Fl Capitan. was brought to Ketchikan General hospital and is under treatment.

LAST STAMPEDE SHOW; PERFORMERS ARE DUE
 BIG VOTE OF THANKS

With a lot more tempo than the Last Roundup, Wrangen put on it's last SUikine Stampede show for the season Tuesday night when the Prince George was in port. A big crowd of tourists from the ship cheered the performers to the last encore - four of the little Eskimo girls from the Institute doing the Can-Can in their parkas and mukluks. It was a grand show, conclusion to great sea son, to which the players and the people of WIangelI are entitled to a great deal of credit.
 From late May until now. in the fore part of September, twice week, the entire Stampede cast has given time, energy and en- thusiasm to put their town over in a way to make tourists remem- Der it. That they succeeded has been emphasized by loud praise from passengers aboard the many boats which have stopped here and attended the performance.
 Mothers in the Can-Can got baby sitters to care for their child ren so the show would go on, with help of ciyic-minded Mrs. Doris Eastaugh, who helped make their snappy costumes and Mrs Val Coulter who taught them their dance routine and song, the gals surely deserve highest praise for their efforts.
 George Case, who so often re- cited the famous Shooting of Dan McGrew," (and Bessie's Boil') ana Chet Steear, Bob Wickman, the bal tenders; Stranger" Virgil Newman (who, by the way did the last performance in his original beard), Ruby Casey, the irresistible Lou" and Joyce Hay, that dan gerOus man, Dan, all of them, from Arnt Sorset, the kids at the worries" to the solo players ae- serve a "big hand" (We point out especially, also, the drunk" Russ Warfel, who was knocked out" so many times, thrown uut and shot, but who always turned up again in his "reecOon coat.")
 The Back-room Balladiers, the Tipsy Trio and the Eskimos, it is impossible to thank them all for their faithful performance.
 Mrs Virgil Newman and Mrs. Ben Carson, in days of '98 cos tune met every tourist ship to advertise the show. Other women, too, made costumes and other men oI the town grew boards to help put the celebration over. It was | fine demonstration of loyalty to a community venture.
 To each and every one in the community who took part, The Sentinel extends, in behalf of the community a rousing vote of thanks. From the remarks we have heard, and the pictures taken by touring photographers, Wrangel will probably be topic of many a winter conversation in all parts ot the States.
 Around $1,OOO will be realized from the shows, according to Manager Thor Hofstad, which will be used in getting out publicity emphasizing the industrial ad- vantages of this district.

up that the Clemmons' report rec
commended be changed so that it
could not be considered as a re-
ligious organization and be denied

Favor Chest Merger

The Board Of Trustees of the

approved resolution favoring a
merger of the Chest and the Com

The Chest will appoint a COM

pleted by August.
The decision to consolidate was
reached after the trustees heard a

recommended that the Councils
