Meets Death
by Accident
Frank Amestoy, aged 31, a na
tive of France, met death by ac
cident Saturday last, while em
ployed in clearing land in the new
townsite. The circumstances
surrounding the sad affair, as
gained by the evidence given at
the coroner’s inquest summoned
to inquire into the cause, is sub
stantially as follows:
J. I). Bunton and Amestoy were
fellow workers in a clearing con
tract. Bunton, who was about
to fall a tree, called to Amestoy
to look out, or words to that ef
fect. The victim answered the
call, indicating that he had heard.
The tree, instead of immediately
falling# lodged against a standing
dead tree. This necessitated cut
ting the dead tree, and again
Bunton called on Amestoy to look
out, and again the victim re
sponded. As the green tree was
falling, Amestoy threw his ax
and leaped, in an effort, it ap
peared, to dodge under a fallen
tree, held by branches a couple
of feet above ground. He was I
in the act of stooping when the |
falling tree hit him, inflicting
what afterward proved to be a
fracture of the skull. Bunton
gave the alarm. Peter Amestoy,
a brother, was among the first
to appear on the scene. Dr.
Stoughton, government sanitary
officer, was hastily summoned,
and the victim removed to the
government hospital. An exam
ination revealed that he was in
jured beyond medical aid, and he !
passed away at 5 o’clock in the
afternoon.
The coroner’s jury, composed
of L. F. Shaw, foreman, J. J.
McCain, J. W. Kempf, N. E.
Ohlsson, J. W. Sheehan and F.
C. Lawrence, found that the
death was entirely accidental.
The funeral was held Monday
forenoon and was attended by
many friends and acquaintances
of the departed. Father Shep
herd, who was here from Valdez,
officiated. Doc. Caswell, the un
dertaker, had charge of the ar-:
rangements. Interment was made
in the new townsite cemetery,
near the scene of the victim’s
martyrdom.
