CHITINA NEWS
May 1st. (Special to News.)
The death of our ex-U. S. Com
missioner, Judge Win. O’Connor
on Saturday, April 29th. came
as a great shock to the cum
in unity, as he had not seemed
seriously ill, and was up and a
bout. His only complaint was
that he found his food did not
agree with him. On April 27th.
tie went to to Kennecott and an
examination disclosed a can
cerous growth in one of the
tubes leading to the stomach.
It was too late for an opera
tion and within a couple of days
he passed away. He leaves a wife j
and five married children, three !
daughters and two sons. One
of his sons, Charles O'Connor,
lived in Chitina and McCarthy a
couple of years ago. Before his
death, the Judge requested a
wire be sent to his youngest son
Lewis, to come up and take
charge of his affairs. This has
been done and it is expected he |
will be here on the next boat
j
Mr. Frank Bingham, the Wil
low creek roadhouse owner
whose house bin ned a week a

A correction—The purchaser
