Details of the
Killing of Trapper
By Charles Grover
| The trial of Charles Grover, accused
of the murder of Thomas Phillips, has
resulted in the conviction of the de
fendant, in a trial before the district
court at Ruby, and Judge Bunnell has
' imposed a sentence of 18 years in the
; penitentiary at McNeill’s island.
The trial brought out the following
facts:
Last May, Charles Grover shot and
killed Thomas Phillip at McGrath, the
junction point of the Kuskokwim and
Takotna rivers. Both men were trap
pers in the upper Kuskokwim region.
! The shooting was the culmination
of a feeling of ill-will which was en
gendered between the two by a series
of incidents.
It appeared that during an absence
of Giover from his headquarters his
cache and grub were burnt. He then
went down the river for fresh sup
plies, and upon his return found that
86 traps had been stolen. He accused
Phillip of being responsible for all
these acts.
Evidence was introduced at the trial
as to statements in the nature of
threats made by Phillip against Gro
ver and some attempt made by Phil
lip to have Grover Sound over to keep
the peace.
Ur. W. i-. Green testified at the trial
that Phillip, who had been a powerful
: man at one time, carrying about 220
pounds in weight, was under medical
treatment last winter. That he had
reduced to 187 pounds in weight, and
was in such poor physical trim, that
he, Dr. Green, had advised him to go
outside for an operation.
T. J. Conley had a tent at McGrath
on a little point between the junction
of the two rivers, and on the after
noon of the shooting, he observed Gro
ver floating down the river in a blue
poling boat. He tied his boat a little
up-stream from Conley’s tent, unload
ed his tent, grub-box, a 30-30 Win
chester carbine, and piled them up
about eight or ten feet back of Con
vey inteiidingj^sfjfp -
Grover nail a meal with Conley and
later sat in the front of the tent. Con
ley sitting in the other corner in the
front of the tent, Rice standing up.
Phillip appeared around the corner
of the tent, and on seeing Grover sit
ting there, said, “Hello, Grover.” Gro
ver looked up but didn’t answer.
Whereat Phillip said, “Get up and
put up your hands. Pm going to set
tle with you.”
Grover picked up his hat, put it on.
“You are going to settle with me, are
;you?” he said,, and started for the
back of the tent.
Meantime, Phillip proceeded to re
move his sweater and jacket, hung
them on the guy-rope, and advanced
to about three feet back from the
front end of the tent. Grover appear-1
ed three*or four feet from the rear'
end on the same side, rifle in hand.
Evidence submitted was that Gro
ver said, “This is the way I'll put up
my hands to you.”
Whereupon Phillip extended his
open left hand and said, “Put down j
the gun, Grover, and fight like a
man.”
Grover’s answer was a bullet
through Phillip’s right breast, pene-1
trating the lung and causing almost1
immediate death.
Phillip cried to Rice in his dying
i moment, "Rice, get a gun and shoot,
him for me.” He sank to the ground, i
“Get a gun and shoot him for me,
boys,” he repeated.
Rice testified that while Conley was j
supporting the dying man’s head
across his knee, Grover approached
gun ifi hand, and cursed Phillip, stat
ing that he regretted that he had shot
him where he did as he would die too
quickly. Conley pleaded with the
armed man not to discharge another
bullet at his dying victim.
ALASKA MINING MAN
SUCCUMBS IN SEATTLE I
JUNEAU.—George T. Score, well
known among Alaska mining men and
1 for 17 years a resident of Alaska, died
in Seattle last Friday morning of an
j illness brought on by an attack of pa
ralysis, according to advices received
in Juneau today.
Mr. Score was a native of Wiscon
sin, and a son of the shipbuilder at
Manitowoc, Wis. He had Alaskan
mining and fishing interests. He was
married in August, 1908, to Miss An
na Virgina Russell, of Washington, D.
C., who was at that time a repre
sentative of the United States bureau
of education at Juneau. He went to
Juneau four years ago in the hope of
improving his health.
He leaves a wife, Mrs. Anna Virgin
ia R. Score, 134 Harvard avenue
north; a brother, G. Norman Score, of
Santa Ana, Cal., and two sisters, Mrs.
j Berling Hall, of Manitowoc, Mis., and
Mrs. L. Meyer, of New York city.

Submarine
Hunters Gojnto
Action Today
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Uncle
Sam’s submarine hunters are going
into action today. The navy’s pro
tectors against underwater war
craft, consisting mainly of motor
boats of great speed, manned by vol
unteer seamen who own the boats,
will have their first real test since
their organization, when they are put
through their paces under the eyes
1 of government officers.
Maneuvers, which will end Sept.
20, will be held off Boston, Newport
New York, and the Delaware capes.
' The senior naval officer present at
each point will be in charge.
Probably the most interesting feat
I ure of the cruise will come on the
third day, and will consist of ma
neuvers in mine sweeping, communi
cations, defense of battleships and
protection of harbors from attacks
by submarines.
(■roups will leave their respective
bases early in the morning and will
proceed in the district to which they
have been assigned to search for
mines. When a mine is located it
will be removed and the search will
proceed until all have been located
and loaded onto the boats. .
On the fourth day the patrol boats |
will assemble with the battleships
which have been assigned to take I
part in the maneuvers, and will form j
a screen to protect the big vessels
from attacks by submarines.
This part of the United States
fleet is being recognized as one of the
most important since the advent of
the submarine as a formidable weap
on of offense in the European war. 1
Recently trials were held with the
United States patrol boats and they
succeeded in theoretically destroying
a United States submarine after it
had submerged in plain view of them.
Numerous wealthy citizens have
ordered boats designed to be turned
over to the government in case of
war and many of these will be seen
in the maneuvers which begin today.
THE FRIENDLY AID SOCIETY.
The Woman’s society of the Presby
terian church will meet in the church
parlors tomorrow — Wednesday— aft
ernoon, at 2:30 o’clock. All the wom
en of the community are invited to at
tend. Mrs. Silverman’s committee will
have charge of the afternoon.
