ATLIX. B. C. Mar. 11? Patrick Cal
laghan, a Spruce creek miner, met
death under very peculiar clicumstanc
es Wednesday evening, but the post
mortem examination which was held
here today has removed all suspicion
of foul play.
Callaghan failed to return to his
cabin for supper Wednesday evening
and Mrs. Callaghan. becoming alarm
ed over his absence, went to the
claim workings to ascertain the cause.
She found her husband dead In a
sluice box. She summoned assistance
and his body was removed. Life was
extinct, however, and all efforts at
resuscitation were unavailing.
At the inquest held yesterday the
jury was unable to arrive at a satis
factory decision. The post mortem
examination held today revealed con
gestion of the lungs as the main
j cause of death and it is believed
i that Callaghan. while chopping ice 01 d
o* his sluice box, slipped and tell
: on his stomach, Knocking the wind
out of him. and that being temporar
ily stunned ho was smothered in the
%
water before he could recover. The
fact that there was no water in his
lungs proves that he -did not meet
death by drowning.
The deceased owned several rich
properties on Spruce creek. He also
owned some r-al estate in Skagway
and is well known there.

and was 45 years old. He has mined
