DEATH BY POISON
—Clinton MayG Dies From Drinking .
Wood Alcohol—Coroner’s Jurv In
vestigates—Illicit Whiskey Traffic—
At 12:30 o’clock last Sunday
night Cliuton Mayo, son oi A1
Mayo, died at the family residence.
The circumstances surrounding his
death being most suspicious, and
the finding ot a one-gallon can
partially filled with wood alcohol,
which attendants stated the dead
man had been drinking, caused
| Commissioner .Green to empanel a
| coroner’s jury to inquire iuto the
matter.
The following gentlemen com
posed the jury: VV. C. Baker, Geo.
Shirley, A. J. Stoel, M."W. Sin- *
clair, C. Birclielor and J. E. Hulm.
Tht jury was in session the greater
portion of two days and fully titty
witnesses were examined, both In
dian and white.
The fact that several men had
been supplying the deceased with
whisky was plainly proven and
their names brought out. It was
impossible to show that Mayo had
bought the wood alcohol for pure
alcohol. A skeleton key which
fitted the dispensary of the hospital
was found on the dead man, and
several like cans were among this'
stock.
The jury rendered a verdict of
death by wood-alcohol poisoning.
The funeral of the unfortunate
man was held from J. C. Hall,
Thursday, and conducted by Rev.
J. L. Prevost, assisted by the Yu
kon Pioneers, of which organiza
tion the dead man was a member.
R, H. Wright and family have
rented the Parke cabin on Front “
