Three Young Hunters Lost in Fog
Die Near Juneau From
Gold and Hunger
l?ost in the mountains and wander
ins around until exhausted with fa
Mgwe. hunger and cold, the three
young men mho left Juneau, Thurs
day morning, September S, died
I under circuuistJinces the most asr
oniiinj: that it is possible to con
?^eire. and their dead bodies lay cold
and stark in the damp woods for
seven day*, until discovered yester
day morning.
John Shattuck, aged 21 years, a
student at Oregon State 1'nlverslty,
and a brother of Allen and Henry;
Shattuck. of Juneau; I?ell Unscott, ?
ag?>d SO years, who was employed at
the sawmill of the Alaska Supply
company, and lx<slie Olliver a. ?ev
ent.vn year old boy left Juneau for
a days hunting In the mountains.
They wore not familiar with the coun
try, and even had th*y been. It Is
possible that their death would have
resulted, as shortly after they start
ed a dense fog covered the hill# and
they soon became lost. The ter
ror of their wandering: throughout
the cold dark night until they found
relief In death can only be surmised
In their struggle* to obtain a fire
by biting off the paper of their cart
ridges to secure powder, and In the
gram which had been torn up, ihows
that they died fighting for life. Per
haps they had no matches and had
no knowledge of woodcraft ways for
lighting fires when everything was
damp; anyway they are dead, and
in their ?.1 niggles can be seen the
suffering that preceded the transi
tion to another world.
Yesterday morning at 745: the
body of Olllver was fonnd by a pros
pert or, and at noon the bodies of
J.lnseott and Shittuck were discov
ered within three hundred yards of
where the body of Olliver lay. They
were all within a mile of where It is
believed they first lost their way in
the fog Physicians who examined
the bodies say that the young men
nuist have died sometime Frldav
night The bodies will be shipped
to their respective homes.
That Is the story. No one can
tell the details of their deaths
Speculation only conjures up horror.

Tonight's boat, when it leaves

flowers which are being sent as a
tribute of retipect to the young men
who were found dead In the moun
? tains back of Juneau. I^arge bou
quets and whole basketful# of choic
est varieties which grow here In sue
abundance have been picked by our
citiaens and i?ent to our sister city,
which is suffering a grief over the
sad death of three of Its young
men.
The sweeteitt sentiment of the hu
man heart is expressed in the lang
uage of flowers. It tells better
than tongue can, the finer sensibil
ities felt by humanity when our fel
low beings are bowed low with grief.
So today Skagway is showering the
best thing it can give to alleviate
some of the grief felt by those who
have lost their loved ones.

The Episcopal clergy of the Yukon
are opposing the establishment of a

says:
The topic of the proposed cannery
at the mouth of the Yukon was ta
I ken up at the convocation at Anvik,
and It was decided to oppo?e It for
