Jns. English died of general sepals
from ruptured appendix at the gov- J
eminent hospital yesterday, and his |
body has been prepared for ship- j
nient to Seattlo on the steamer Alas- |
ka. Mr. English was born in Ireland i
50 years ago, and came to America i
during-his younger life. He leaves J
a wifo and two grown sons, who are
residing In Seattle. Mr. English had
many staunch friends In Alaska, es
pecially among the railroad men,
having been associated in the early
activity of the Copper River railway
and later connected with this road in
the capacity of roadmaster. Mr.
English was extremely well thought
of end known to be a man possessing
to a rare degree those sterling quali
ties of truth and honesty so neces
sary to making a man. His many
old-time friends In Anchorage join
the Pioneer in the inadequate ex
pression of their grief and In otter
ing the only solace possible at this
time—their heartfelt sympathy to
the breaved wife and sons of this
rugged, worthy character.
Word has been received from Min
to, Y. T., that the upper Yukon val
ley as far down as below Selkirk and
the Pelly river valley is being over
run with ccyotes to the extent that
they are becoming a nuisance and a
serious menace, in a few years more
at the same rate of increase they will
cover the entire Yukon watershed. It
Is stated that they are cleaning the
rabbits out as they go, and when the
rabbits are gone, goodbye Tox and
lynx. As the rabbit is the chief food
of the Indians in the winter, and to
kill them off will starve the natives,
the Whitehorse Star is advocating a
bounty of $2 per scalp for them.
