dies, Cabin FIRE

FAIRBANKS - John j. Dona-
hue, 81, died of suffocation when
his cabin at lofty was destroyed
by fire around July 3.
A letter received today by Mrs.
Amante Hanson from Gus A. Ben
son, U. S. Commissioner at Manley
Hot Springs, informed her that the
oldtimer's charred bones were found
still on the bedsprings. A coron-
er's inquest has found no evidence
of foul play.
Benson said that Donahue ap-
parently fell asleep with cigaret
or pipe in his hand and that a
spark had probably ignited the
mattress.
The fire must have started at
night, Benson wrote, since no one
saw the smoke or flames which de-
stroyed the cabin, shed and near
ly all of the nearby wood. The
ashes were found by Tom Dean.
Donahue, known to his friends
as Jack, was born near Scranton,
Pa, November %, 1858. According
to Mrs. Hanson he came to Alaska
in the early days to prospect, and
was we'll known in the Territory
for his hospitality and friendliness.
Funeral services were held at
Manley Hot Springs July 10 with
burial in the Manley cemetery
